Hubby and I will probably go out for lunch. He is already a dad to a 9 year old and she will be coming with us but since this is our first child together I thought I might get him a little something special to celebrate the day. ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

We don't have anything in particular planned... Kiya will make Nat a card... IF he stays in bed long enough, we'll make him breakfast in bed  and I'll get him a gift, but that's going to have to wait until a couple of bills are paid off (which Nat knows is happening first)------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Well I know B would be quite happy if Maddie arrived 2 weeks early and gave him an early pressie! *lol*
Seriously though apparently you can get Father-to-be cards and I'm tempted to get one for B seeing as it's so close anyway!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I couldnt find a Father-to- be card, but I got a cute one that has a elephant hugging a baby elephant, and says "From Daddy's Little One,..I may be too small to tell you ,.."
then inside says,...but I already know how much I love you, Daddy. Happy Father's Day". So cute, but Im stuck on what to write tho! |

I'm going to be away on the Sunday so we are having fathers day on Saturday. Andrew will make something at daycare for him and I have got him a wrestling DVD that he wanted. Me and Andrew will make him breakfast and thats all we'll do. Then i'll leave to go away at 10am on Saturday. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We're giving Hubby tickets to the Muay-Thai kickboxing on Saturday night, so he gets his present a little early.
I would love to go too but I don't think Ben would last that long without feeding and I'm sure he'll enjoy a night off from us so I've arranged for his brother to go too. On the Sunday I'm hoping to have some fun family time around in-law duty! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| I bought Lewis a book, from the wrong sytore so it was $8 more expensive. I was going to make him some vouchers for one free morning sleep-in, one free hour without kids etc....but then thought about it and decided I actually didn't want to have to "put out", so have decided againest it and will now just have a nice tea. |

Nothing! Baby is still on the way, as she was last mother's day which was spent visiting both of our mums with little prezzies and nothing from hubby for me, so I have a free pass for this Sunday! Once again, we'll buy el cheapo prezzies for both of our dads and go visiting. We talked about it last night though, and we want keep fathers day and mothers day a time when the other one of us helps the kids do something nice for that parent... dont want the pressure of finding big gifts each time. ------------- Andie |

my two kids (Dh step kids) are getting Dh a present each as we always do and they will get a card. He and the kids are like a bunch of kids (3 not 2) so knowing what the kids will get him will be a funny thing. I might see what type of card i can get from the bump in the tummy, one of the scan photos is of babies foot so might put that in the card - but shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell him
As for my dad he is the hardest person to buy for - i know he was looking for a queen dvd so might go to warehouse and see what I can get. we don't buy for DH dad. ------------- Ann

Willie would generally get nothing as that's what I usually get, but this year he surprised the heck out of me with a card and chocs, so I guess I have to do the same...
My Dad gets nothing either coz Mum doesn't believe in Fathers/Mothers Day - she says we should be nice to our parents all the time not just on certain days.
ETA that Dad usually buys himself something - he reckons it's not fair that he misses out just coz Mum doesn't believe in it! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

well do you know what happend today. Took the kids to mainly music as usual. And at the end they said that every family had a present there to give their daddy on fathers day. All wrapped up and everything. I hope ours lasts until fathers day as it looks suspiciously like a kingsize chocolate bar. Anyway just wanted to say how lovely our mainly music ladies are. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Thats really nice Maria. Well I said that me and Hannah were goind to paint a card but that was a DISASTER! Paint everywhere and all she wanted to do was eat it  Well after she got over being all girly and not liking it on her hands! So anyway, we bought cards for hubby and our dads, and will be getting instant kiwis for in them. Oh and got Daniel a car mag as well so he can chill out on Sunday and relax.------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

actually Aimee, apparently lots of kids don't like the paint on their hands. I got Jake and Taine these huge brushes from the $2shop, and sponges, they like that...well Taine likes to have a bit of a suck, but eventually some gets on the paper.
another good idea is to print out a Father's day card from the net and then get them to colour it in. |

We're doing Father's day today, as Nat is going on a sports trip tomorrow... when he agreed to it, neither of us put "Sunday" and "Father's Day" together!
Kiya made him a card, and I made a stack of french toast for breakfast. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
