MH wants to go visit his grandpa (if he's well enough for visitors) so we're doing that. That is the only thing DH has mentioned any of the 264 times I've asked him, so I'm not sure what else we'll do. The girls will have projects they made at school to give him as well. If I am ambitious, I might try to make him something with DS's "help"
I was thinking of doing those pictures where there are three of them and she is holding up D A D in each one but he doesn't put pictures up in his office or anything so I don't know where we would even put it...
I just told dh that it was his day and we could do whatever he wanted -- which includes if he wants some alone time or whatever. We don't really do gifts either... Although daycare did a cute project for Mother's Day and I know they are doing one for Father's Day too.
DH and I are going to a Beer, Bourbon and BBQ festival while MIL watches the kids on Saturday. On Sunday, I'll make some of DH's favorite meals and we might take a hike or something with the kids. I'll have the kids make a little something for him later this week as well.
Brayden painted him a card, I got him a few small things, and we also did the D.A.D photo thanks to you ladies. I made reservations at this family steakhouse for Sunday.
I got dh a photo card with a pic if him and Logan and booked him a massage on Sunday afternoon. We are flying back from my college reunion Sunday morning and he thinks we aren't doing anything for Father's Day so he'll be surprised.
We are going to make home made donuts for breakfast, and I had the kids decorate a canvas tool bag with hand prints and scribbles. They also all did some watercolor paintings that I am turning into cards from each of them. Who knows what we will do for the day, and steak for dinner. It is also his birthday, so for that I got him a nice new watch and my son got him legos. I'm pretty sure legos are about the last thing he wants to see more of, but too bad, thats what Jack thought his dad would really really like for his birthday.
Re: Father's Day Plans
I'm still brainstorming
