Father's Day Tomorow

lizChesnut

Anybody have anything exciting planned?  I knew it was coming and then it snuck up on me. My husband has been pretty great through all of this. 
Also, my own dad! He was pretty much the 1st person I told. He's been excited since the begining and so supportive throughout my pregnancy and since LO was born. 
I honestly don't know how to begin to show appreciation for the Father's in my life!

Nothing exciting here. As far as I know my dad is coming over today to hang out. Tomorrow I'm letting DH sleep in and then just do his thing, which will probably be playing guitar or video games all day. And then I got him a personalized coffee mug with LO's picture on it so he gets that and a framed picture for his desk at work. If I can get out of the house today after my dad leaves I might get some stuff to make him breakfast tomorrow, but that's only if LO cooperates.

In-laws are coming and we are going to brunch then probably not doing much of anything. I'm guessing DH will want to take a nap and play guitar, which sounds great to me!

So with DH deploying in just a few short days...I asked him what he wanted for Father's Day dinner/last weekend together dinner (the food sucks big butt on the ship, so I always try to do something special food wise for him since he'll be eating shit for 8 months). His response? Oh I'd love some of your homemade country fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn...and for dessert I'd really love that homemade chocolate cake you make for my birthday, but instead of peanut butter butter cream I'd like raspberry buttercream...uhm, ok sure. Let me get right on that seeing as I can't even take a crap during the day. He already opened his 2 in 1 tablet that I got him as his gift for the sake of being able to see pics and videos of baby and I while he's gone...now he wants me to slave away in the kitchen for a whole day when it's 100 degrees outside...


All this bitching and I'm doing it. If he weren't leaving for 8 months I would've told him eff you and order a pizza, especially since I'm on no dairy, no soy and can't eat one lick of the dinner or dessert that he's chosen, but he deserves it so here I stand in the hot ass kitchen baking a chocolate cake from scratch, buttercream from scratch, and homemade country fried steak to make in my very near future. He's worth it!

Taking him to dinner tonight and tomorrow morning I will get up and have his coffee on the table in a new mug I bought him with picture frames of the pictures I took of Mila in her I love daddy onesie that he hasn't seen yet. Nothing super fancy but I think he will like it.

Bought DH a new game today and a bunch of really cheesy gifts for tomorrow morning when he wakes up. Like a big beer mug that says 'Man of the Moment' filled with yellow jelly beans and white marshmallows on top to resemble beer and the froth (since he doesn't actually drink) and other sweets. He gets coffee in bed every day so that doesn't count, but I will cook him a breakfast. We'll go to my folks in the afternoon for cake and I got my dad biltong and chocolates.

DH wants to have a BBQ so that is pretty easy for me lol. Burgers, sausage, potatoes, watermelon etc. I bought him a magnetic wristband to hold nails, screws, etc... And I'm gonna put together a basket of goodies: beer, jerky, nuts, and chocolate, plus homemade cards from the boys. I'm hoping that he'll wanna do a lake day instead of working.

DH isn't a big gift guy. Honestly I've gone all sentimental for presents in the past and been disappointed that he's not smitten about it. I'm 2 weeks PP tomorrow so to be honest he gets the bj he's been hinting at and and we will go on with our day.

I got my husband some new Nike Metcons since he's really into working out. I'm also making him breakfast and dinner with his favorite things and then tomorrow at lunch, we are visiting his Dad. I sent my step-dad a sampler set of cigars since he likes to sit out by the pool and have a cigar every now and then. As for my real Dad, he's visiting next weekend so I have some time to figure that out. 

DD picked out a Ninja Turtle card to give DH

DH works tomorrow so we celebrated today. I made him a card with Pollie's footprints, it took quite a few tries, and then did a picture of her in a tutu sleeping on his old Nintendo. This morning I made him breakfast in bed and I'm making a cake for tomorrow. Other than that he's relaxed and played video games, which he hasn't had time to do since Pollie's been born

DH is going golfing with his dad, cousins and uncle tomorrow then we all are having brunch. He hasn't golfed since DS was born so I think that in itself is a treat for him ( me time for daddy). Annnnnd we might actually get to DTD tomorrow night since it will be a week since I started my new bc. Sex after no sex for 8 weeks = ultimate gift :-) I think it will be a nice day for DH.

We are at my dad's house most summer weekends anyway, but tomorrow we are taking DH to the driving range because he's wanted to take DS1 for awhile. For a 2 year old he has a really good golf swing already so DH is dying to see him and his reaction. After that my brother, SIL, and nieces are coming over to swim and bbq.

We got DH some workout clothes and a new computer bag for work. For my dad we are taking him to Blue Hill at Stone Barns as soon as I'm ok with leaving the baby for that long and we can get a reservation.

I signed DH and LO up for an infant massages class. I'm not going to the class with them... On purpose. DH will be super excited to have something he feels like a pro at with her since I take the lead with her. DD got him a dad picture frame w picture for his office desk and a daddy and me book for them to read together.

I went to Target and got him a Dad picture frame and world's best dad shirt. He will go pick out the shoes he wants too. I'm efficient (i.e. Code for I suck at crafts) like that.

I'm going to make breakfast for him, bought a cute little onesie for LO that says "I love that you're my Daddy" (or something like that) and made him the below picture for his office (the footprints were a near fail). We took a mini trip up to the mountains today so I'm leaving the rest of the day up to him tomorrow!

For my hubby, I got him tickets to a baseball game for him and DD1. I got them matching shirts to wear to the game also. Today we're going to lunch with my ILs. DD1 and I will cook him dinner and watch the NBA finals tonight. We'll see my dad and grandpa next weekend.

I bought Ainsley a "daddy's girl" outfit at Kohl's, and am picking up BW3's for lunch. Ainsley "bought" him a two dad oriented board books, and a shirt that reads "real men work the night shift" with a baby on the front.

I got tickets to a game too! But he won't be taking DS. My sisters all get their husbands tickets plus our dad and FILs too. So they all go down together and tailgate.

When I was nursing the baby, I thought to myself man all I want for Father's Day is to go to target and meander. Then I remembered that today wasn't about me

I took some pics in a "happy 1st fathers day" onsie & made a magnet out of them, and got him a shirt that says "world's best farter i mean father." He got to sleep until noon & I made breakfast, & now he's been hanging out with Jack all day

I love Blue Hill, we went out there for a tour and a picnic when I was pregnant for the first time  and it was beautiful. I've heard they don't just do open walk around times anymore and you have to reserve/ pay for a tour, do you know if that's true? I think my son would really enjoy seeing all the animals. 

Also, we're totally not golf people but my in-laws have been grooming my son to play whenever they see him, and it is incredible how quick they can pick up a good swing at such a young age! They've taken him to the driving range a few times and he absolutely loves it, I bet your little guy will too.

My husband is your classic introvert and needs like, a lot of alone time to stay sane. So his gift today was that I took the kids to church and then over to my folks' house for lunch by myself, and he got to stay home and read by himself for 4 hours. I also got him a book about Tommy John surgery that he's unreasonably excited about, even though it looks like the most boring thing on earth to me. And tonight he's having a few buds over to watch game 7 and I'm taking charge of dinner for them i.e. ordering pizza.

Isn't it amazing? We've never gone during the summer so I'm excited if we can swing it in August. I'm not sure about needing a reservation for the farm portion. My friend just posted pictures with her son doing it but didn't mention eating. It's not a terrible drive but there are other places you can go around Halloween and Easter that having petting zoos. A local hotel - High Line Hotel had an adorable petting zoo for Easter this year. And so did the Standard Meatpacking. Lots of options!
