I didn't look at the calendar so accidentally held it a week earlier.  Daddy got a card and a new book light. He didn't remember when it was and wouldn't have known I'd got the date wrong unless I told him anyhow.

Our Bub is due in December but I've got DH a little onesie that says "I Love Daddy" and making him a yummy brekkie before he goes off to work. Then at night I'm making my Dad a homecooked roast dinner with all the trimmings  and for the rugby fan, I got him an All Blacks jersey. My DH's dad lives in a different city so bought him some different types of honey from Taupo when we were down last and sent it up to him and we will of course ring him on the day (as long as our landline gets fixed!!!)

Got DH a book called 'I love Daddy' to read with our baby and also some photos in frames of him and Zac together for his desk at work.
Got my Dad (a major rugby and beer fan) a personalised stubbie with a photo of bubs dressed up in his All blacks onesie on it and sent him some photos of the two of them also. Not sure what we are going to do for FIL..
Not gonna do much on the day.. dress baby in his Daddy is awesome shirt and let DH do what ever he feels like

I am printing and framing a poem and will get DS and DD to do their handprints at the bottom of it, as we are moving out of our rental and into our first home late Sept, DH can hang it wherever he likes when we move
Other than that, I'll get up to both kids and attempt to make him breakfast in bed if I can wrangle it before he gets up! Then we will spend the day together as we always do on a Sunday and will pop over to my IL's to give Grandad a home made gift.
My Dad and Step-Dad don't live in NZ so I'll send them a card which will be a nice surprise as it's not their Fathers Day over there.

We're really big on occasions in our family. We'll make DH breakfast in bed, then give him his presents - this year this kids drew in a card, and I bought him a really nice book and a full day of paragliding with lessons, solo flights, tandem flights etc.
Then in the evening we have a big family get together for a shared meal, with all us siblings and our dad :)
Probably a bit extravagent compared to everyone else! lol but that's just us :)

we dont normally do fathers day but this morning my husband said how it will be funny that Toby will be away on the morning of fathers day and i realised my husband thinks more of it than i do. So when i was in the warehouse i picked up a few things for the kids to give him - got a really cool Mr Happy soap and shampoo set (hoping it will cheer him up cause he has been a bit low about work at the mo), a bar of chocolate that he will and some mini smellies for his bag for work. He works on sunday so while he is away i will get the kids to choose one and wrap it for a surprise when he comes home. He wont be expecting a thing!

fingers crossed you lil man decides to come tomorrow bex.
i dont usually bother with fathers day, kind of use to not having to.
this yr i got him something from each of the boys the boys all had something to do with what we got him, i have told ds2 that tomorrow when he wakes up he can get the presents and give them to daddy, he knows where they are hidden, ds1 wanted to give him his present when he wasnt even home today. i wont actually be home as i have a friends baby shower to go to. tomorrow we are having lunch/tea with dh's mum and brother.
i had hoped to give dh some exciting news but no bfp this month.
