Dad's day

The girls and I woke up early this morning to get things moving for our fathers day extravaganza.  Actually, it was just family coming over and was going to be low key but, I tend to make things into an extravaganza no matter what.  I had talked to the girls about making a card for daddy for fathers day and usually they love doing these kinds of things.  My youngest responded with "I already made him a card a while ago so, I don't want to" but, my oldest was up for the task.  She spent painstaking hours (minutes actually but to a 7 year old...HOURS) finding the right colors and drawing the right pictures so that he would love it so much he would take her to Disneyland.  After she finished, she threw it in my direction and said "here".  I was totally feelin' the love.  As I looked at it, I noticed that rather than saying Happy Fathers Day, it said "Happy Farther's Day" on the outside AND on the inside.  I didn't have the heart to tell her and think it is rather appropriate if you ask me.  So, Happy Farther's Day to all the gentlemen out there...you deserve one special day that is just for you....JUST ONE!!

That's funny! Kylie wrote "Dabby" on the outside of her card for her dad. And I wanted to say, "everyday is father's day for gosh sakes!"

You are making me laugh so hard that my head is hurting even more. But I love it, I really do. I'm a gluton for punishment that way!

Hope you're having a great summer so far with only your 2 kids. Though at times that is harder than having a whole classroom of strangers' kids!

The fact that you used the word "extravaganza" in this post makes me adore you even more.

Extravaganza is one of my favorite words of all time. It is also how I like to think of all my parties, holidays, and even an occasional blog post or two! :)

Some days they are feeling the effort - other days not so much!
