Father's Day

We were so excited to celebrate Mike on Sunday. The kids helped me make him breakfast and serve it to him in bed. They also gave me a gift that day--I got to sleep in until ten.
I bought a bunch of candy bars and had the kids design a candy bar card. His favorite line was, "You used to be Chunky and you can't do the Mamba but you love us Good and Plenty."
They all gathered around the card, salivating, eyeing the one they wanted, knowing that he would share with them.
With one o'clock church, we let him go back to sleep. He never gets to sleep in, so that was probably the best gift he could have received.
He used his new gifts from his parents and Grandma and Grandpa to install a timer for the lights. It is a magnetic arm band and a miniature hammer. Of course, his little apprentice helped him in the project. Whether it is outside or inside, if it is a project that Dad is doing, Kiki is there ready and willing to help.
Happy Father's Day Mike. We love you.

what an awesome day! sleep is a great gift...i have to remember that one! My father's very favorite present was a candy bar card (keep in mind he's a dentist). I don't think we were quite as creative as you guys were though! grin...

You really know how to spoil Mike. Love the candy bar card. I bet you all enjoyed making and eating it. After we gave the boys the BandIt, Ross had to go out and get one for himself.
