First, have your wife and children travel one time zone away. Have them return Saturday night at 10:00 PM, and make sure no one slept on the airplane.
Enjoy seeing 8:00 pass on the clock on Sunday morning without the sounds of any children accompanying that passage of time.
Receive handmade gift from son.
Receive kiss from daughter (not photographed).
And then spend the day beating your yard back into submission, heading to the pool and realizing your two year old daughter honestly thinks she will be swimming independently at the end of her upcoming swim lessons and seeing your four year old son dive off the side of the pool, cooking dinner for your family, and finally sitting down around 10:30 to watch the Daily Show on DVR.
Not so relaxing, eh?
Happy Father's Day. I had planned to serve the leftover Mother's Day ice cream cake to Ed for desert, but he ate it last night before I could tell him my plans.

That does sound like a really great day. For us to have 8am pass in our house without hearing sounds from kids would require having kids gagged :0
