father's day fun!

This year the kiddos and I celebrated Father's day a teeny bit early with Joey.  He went on a boy trip to Utah with his college buddies & we got him some fun stuff for the trip.... Ya know new bike, new shoes, snacks.... stuff like that!  But... we couldn't let this day go without making him something special {y'all now we hate celebrating around here- ha ha}.  Prissy made him a coupon book filled with dates with her and chores like: washing his car, watching A-man while he does yard work {that one made me chuckle- they swing while he mows}, ice cream date {another chuckle- I guess he's buying}, and several others.  He is a lucky man!

I helped the A-man make him something "special from scratch" too. We started out by tracing his hands- I {heart} his chunky monkey hands....  

*****

On one hand we wrote 'I love you'

*****

in the middle we wrote 'this much"

*****

Then finished it off with A-man's little signature....  

I told y'all he's a lucky man!!  My A-man adores him more than I can express to you!!!!

Then I played around with the paper {an 11x4 piece}.  I folded in in half-

Next I  cut in about 3/4 inch across each side 1 inch down the top..

*****

Then I made a little tie pattern...

Lastly- I folded the tabs in, glued on the tie, and  added some buttons-

 TA DA!!!  

Happy Father's Day

 to the sweetest, best husband & famed father to my kiddos! 

 We ADORE you!!!!

...and 

Happy Father's Day

to Papaw- we ADORE you too!!!
