What would father's day be without a picture of the honoree with his boys? Too bad none of them really wanted to get their picture taken, so this was the best I got, but they are still wonderful, handsome, and my favorite guys!
But before the big celebration, we had lots to prepare for...
We had to make cards...
(look at that concentration!)
Then we had to draw pictures and write notes to make this...
... turn into this...
I got this fun idea from one of the many craft blogs I read. I had the kids make their own candy wrappers and we put them on some of Daddy's favorite candy. Each wrapper had a drawing on it by the boys, and then on the other side had notes to him. Some said "I love you". Some listed reasons why he is a good dad. Some listed things that dad has taught them. Every one of the things that the boys wrote (or I helped them write) were their ideas. Some of the things they listed were... "You are a good dad because you play Wii with us.... drive me to school.... taught us not to lie or say bad words... taught me to read... take us for rides in your truck... and you still love me even when I spit up on your dry clean only pants!" (that last one was from Landon!) :)
Since Landon wasn't able to color any pictures... he would have just tried to eat the crayons and paper... he just hung out and watched us while crawling around and finding trouble! He may look innocent, but he's not so much!!
We also took the kids to see the new Toy Story 3 on Saturday. It was so good!! We all loved it!! Landon however really enjoyed the left over licorice Sunday as we were making dinner for our daddy...
Look at how messy that little boy got!! But he sure loved it!
We had a great father's day with our daddy. We made him his favorite breakfast, went to church, came home and made him his favorite dinner.... steak and potatoes! He enjoyed some other gifts from all of us, and some relaxation time.
We love our Dad, we think he is amazing!!

Sounds like some boys really love their daddy. Glad to see that Patrick had a good Father's Day. Our daddy had a good Father's Day too, we bought him a sno-cone machine. He liked that! We took him to see Toy Story 3 also. We all loved it. I think it was my favorite of the 3.
Kevin had steak and potatoes too. lol
