Father's Day and a Gift Idea

Normally shopping for my husband leaves me very puzzled but this year I saw this! This was a great idea for us because we don't budget huge amounts for gifts. (Anybody that knows us just laughed because we're tightwads.) Obviously this present was really from the boys but I had a great time shopping and deciding on items. 

Note to self: never shop for gun accessories without something more specific than a brand name. You'll never be able to figure out what would be best. 

So what did we put in our basket, er, gift bag? (I want to be crafty. I really do. But I always think of a bazillion other things to be doing. Plus you have to buy the stuff to be crafty. See note above about tightwads.)

iTunes gift card

2 Zero bars. He loves them and this is the only way you can buy them at our Wal-Mart. No big bags or anything. 

Targets

Cream Soda in glass bottles! 

We made this cute little craft at Toddler Time. 

And then we popped it all in a bag with a card that Micah colored on. And then I stuffed it in a new hiding place that I just thought of this week. I can't tell where it is because I need to keep using it!

My husband is such a great daddy! Our boys adore him and he's such a great role model for them. One of my favorite things about my husband is that he's so stable. He's the same day in and day out. And he provides stability for our family too. He finds what he believes God wants him to do and he does it. Our family couldn't have a better leader. We are blessed beyond measure!


And Happy Father's Day to my dad and father-in-law! Thanks for all you both do for us! We love you both! 

Friday Favorites: Dads!

Happy Father's Day Weekend! Dads are really cool people, aren't they? I don't know what we would do without them and I just wanted to say how much I love my dad! I have distinct memories of Dad bringing me a cup of water (every night!) before I went to sleep because I was "thirsty." I'm thinking this was probably a stall tactic! My brother and I used to get in the recliner with him when it was close to bedtime and when Mom came to tell us to go to bed we'd all pretend like we were asleep and snore! Dad used to sing "In the Garden" to me. He taught me to spell "Israel" and helped me work on my speech impediment when I was in the first grade. He did a good job too! It only comes out now when I'm really tired :) Dad worked hard his whole life to provide for us and I really appreciate it!!

And now look at the fun he gets to have!

And Happy Father's Day to my hubby too! You're the best, dear! Micah is very blessed to have you as a dad!
