Happy Friday!
Congrats and welcome to new mamas this week: nhamilton1008, lily721, and roxie5739!
GL to those who are ttcing, in their 2ww, or simply awaiting next round of b/w and tests.
T&Ps to those who need them!
Safe travel wishes to those who are going away this weekend.
What are your plans for this weekend and Father's Day? Are you giving him a gift, or just doing something special?
Whatever you do (or don't do), I hope you all have a fun and/or relaxing weekend!

Re: Happy Friday! Plans for the Father's Day weekend?
Lol.
We are heading home for the weekend. DH has a side job to look at so I'll be at my parents all day Saturday then I'm sure at my IL's that evening. I hate going to my IL's but that's what happens when both sets of parents live in the same town.
We aren't doing anything special for Father's Day. DH didn't do anything for me and he doesn't want anything anyway.

My town is having a little festival today/tomorrow down by the river. So this afternoon (weather & nap schedule permitting), I plan to take M there to check out some of the live music.
Saturday I'll be baking croissants for b'fast for DH (frozen ones from Trader Joe's - they are decadent). I also bought him his favorite beer and I'll give it to him on Sat as well. Sat afternoon we're invited to a cook-out.
Sunday we're going over to friends' for brunch. I'm cooking DH dinner on Sunday night - well, I cook 7days/week but I guess I'll come up with something a little more special.
Also, M & I did an "art" project for Father's Day when we went to our mommy-and-me class earlier this week. It has a father's day poem with M's handprint & foot print on it. The poem is rolled up inside a bottle, filled partly with sand. The bottle label says "Father's Day Message in a Bottle." We'll probably give that to DH Sat AM along with his beer.

For father's day I got DH a Star Wars kids book called Vader's Little Princess. It's super cute!! I'm going to try to get up early and make him breakfast, but I imagine we'll end up going out or something lol

I will be heading out of state tomorrow for my future SIL's bridal shower. DH and DS will be joining me for the ride and hanging out with the guys for the day.
Sunday, we are having my ILs over for breakfast. All DH wants to do the rest of the day is relax, so hopefully we'll spend some time outside and not do too much! I plan on making something special for dinner after DS goes to bed. I'm making up a basket of grilling stuff for DH.

TTC #2
Ahhh... I love Fridays! Tomorrow we are going to a friend's housewarming party and getting packed for our trips next week. Sunday we are doing whatever DH wants and then Brazilian BBQ for dinner with my parents.
TTC #2
Love it! Enjoy!
Tomorrow I am heading to my SILs baby shower. She's due in August, this will be Grace's first cousin on either side! So exciting.
for Fathers Day we are going to breakfast in the morning at the beach. I got DH a bunch of floats and cooler for our pool and also framed DDs footprints for his office.
Omg, so cute! Your pics turned out WAY better than mine.
My friend taught me a trick! On an iPhone, you can video tape LO playing with the letters. Then you go frame by frame and choose the best pics. Then screen shot them. Tada!

OMG, TJ, you are so talented! The DAD photos came out perfect. Seriously, YH owes you BIG TIME. I hope he feels ashamed for what he didn't do for you on Mother's day, and hope he makes up for it some how!
And a Thomas the train cake?!?! Holy cow. Pics please once it's done.

I am sending chocolate covered strawberries to the hotel DH will be at for Fathers Day. The berries are decorated like sports balls and they come with caramel and chocolate covered pretzels... I'm kinda jealous he will be gone so I won't get any LOL!!

Our boys couldn't wait to meet us! Colin and Kieran arrived March 26, 2013 at 33w1d.
Hi, Ladies! Hope everyone is doing well. Even though I'm not posting much, I still try to lurk when I can. I should be able to participate more once I start working next week.
Tonight I plan to take the boys to the area Relay For Life event. I didn't participate this year because I was a bit preoccupied, but my mom and I did make several batches of carmel corn to sell at the food tent. I figure it's the least I could do to help raise a little bit of money for a good cause.
I may try to mow the lawn tomorrow so that DH doesn't have to. It sounds like anice thing to do on Father's Day weekend, but we'll see how motivated I am
I'm not sure if we'll take DH out for dinner on Sunday or get him an icecream cake (his favorite). I may let him decide. I did the "dad" photo with each boy having a letter and then a fourth pic will all three together. It is so hard getting 3 happy babies at the same time, but I think it turned out pretty good.
