We had our day so now let's hear it ... what are you going to help your LO get/do for their dads on their day?

I don't know, but I want to go all out. For the older kids I always tried to do one keepsake thing...like handprints or something, and then something I knew he'd really been wanting. My step-daughter's mom is such a #$%$@ that he's never really gotten to have a real father's day... the one year he actually got to see her, she even got her early because she said they had plans with the step-dad...I just want this one to be really special for him!

I am STUMPED. I think I am going to a coffee cup with her handprints? I dunno, Sean is like the hardest person to buy for.

I make him a carrot cake or pineapple upside cake every year. I do not like either one so he only gets them for special times. LOL I do a homemade card with hand prints. Last year dd1 make him a picture key chain using shrinky dink. I will also make him what ever meal he requests, and we'll have a family night. If money allows for it Ill buy him a mike's car wash book but money is kind of tight right now so the plan is just the items above.

We're doing a father's day bbq too. This is becoming our family tradition and it makes it so much easier on us to host everyone instead of trekking around all over heck's half acre.

I've gotten all the guys new mouse pads with a photo of Maggie on it. I'll also get DH a card from her. We also have my FIL's b'day to celebrate that weekend. Not sure what I'll get him for that, but I'll figure something out.

Ummm, I didn't get anything for Mother's day. So, either I get him the same thing or he will feel guilty b/c he didn't do anything. I haven't decided which I'm going with yet.

I usually just have the kids make him something, not sure what we are going to do this year, I"m looking at craft books.
