meow.

it took a whole lot of lying
and the cooperation of my fantastic husband
and some equally fantastic boys
but i pulled off my first:

cat's pajamas day.

i told dave he had to take his
friend, scott, to the airport early
in the morning when in reality he
was picking him up to go golfing
(is dave a retired old man? no, but
he fancies himself a bit of the golf
and that's just fine with me)

then to brunch.
(is he a middle aged rich woman? no again,
but that's what you eat when you
play golf in the morning and it's not
quite lunch time when you finish...i don't make the rules)

to make a long fun surprise filled story short:

there were
random gifts.

random notes.
a rack-of-lamb dinner.
a chocolate cake.
and a late night movie at the gateway
with his brother, john, and
brother-in-law, andrew.

just wanted to show my appreciation
for the guy that takes such good care
of his family, and is a gentleman all the way.
father's day...and all those other days,
just simply aren't enough.


you, dave, are truly the cat's pajamas.















thank you thank you to scott, john and andrew for being my little accomplices.

You sweetheart. I am so lucky to have you. Thanks for making me feel so appreciated.

Wow. Catie is the best wife ever! I guess I should have married her too.

Catie,
You have the best handwriting I have ever seen. I love it. Especially the window.

ok...

this is fantastic!

and I agree... may we discuss this handwriting of yours?

xoxo

Cute, cute, cute idea! Cute gifts, cute everything. I'm in awe!

And your handwriting should be a computer font so that the rest of us can appear cool while you my dear actually are.

And it's national sewing month, so I think we should get together and sew?

aw thank you my peeps!
but let's be honest, my handwriting is only good when i try...most of the
time it's not readable...and it came from try to copy my sister, kris' handwriting...her handwriting is truly amazing and she studied calligraphy...sigh.

Lindsey said...

you are adorable. andy wouldn't know what to do with himself if he got a day like this instead of his normal daily greeting from a frazzled, cranky wife. how do you do it lil missy...

happy me said...

OMGosh Catie! So thoughtful and cute. :)

I've got an idea. This should transcend into other people in your life... like friends and neighbors... or neighbors that are friends. (ie; ME)

But, being a friend to Catie Pilky means that every day is Cat's Pajamas day. I mean that. Name a nice thing and you've likely done it for me.

Dave's a lucky guy! You two are perfect for each other.

From the bottom of my toes: You are amazing. (I want to be like you when I am grown up.)

Good thing Trevor doesn't read blogs or he'd feel seriously undervalued!

What a fantastic idea. I need to call you to get birthday ideas for Josh. Maybe you should write a book...........

I'm sure I'm repeating sentiments from above (too lazy to read them all) but I just have to say you are amazing!!! Probably the sweetest and most caring person I know. Please tell me I'll be next in line if you and Dave ever decide to call it quits ;)
