Prepping for Father's Day

So, in Australia, Father's Day takes place in September while Mother's Day is the same as the US.  Since we celebrated the US Father's Day, I had decided not to do anything for this Father's Day.  However, the schools actually celebrate these holidays by having gifts the kids can purchase and making cards.  So, the kids have spent the last week making things for Jay for Father's Day.  All the other moms that I've met are asking about our plans for Sunday.  I just shrug.  None.  We've done this once already this year.  Oh well, I'm sure we'll do a little something.  I need to make Tom's birthday cake that day.  His birthday is on Tuesday, but I will probably be on a field trip with Joe on Monday. 
Tom's field trip for today was postponed due to rain.  He'll try again in two weeks.  They need nice weather since they plan to spend the entire day outside. 
Due to the rain, Sam and I really didn't do anything today.  Yesterday, while Sam was at school, I had coffee with a new friend and then after school, she invited us over for afternoon tea.  Tom is in the same class as her daughter.  Aleigh also has a 2 year old boy and a 9 year old boy.  My kids loved their house because it had a huge, fenced backyard.  The backyard was a perfect kid paradise with a trampoline, a playset, and a large brick patio and path.  The patio and path were perfect for riding scooters around on.  We had a good afternoon there and it makes me wish that we had a better back yard.
