father's day fun

The Father in our household didn't get home until mid-afternoon on Father's Day because he was away at kids camp.  It made for a long afternoon of waiting, waiting, waiting...but it gave us plenty of time to get our Father's Day goodies ready! 

When Daddy finally arrived, the kiddoes ran out to greet him before he even parked.  And then they carried all his stuff inside - a true Father's Day miracle - where he was greeted with this:

And this:

And then his first present:

A super-hero (and other pop-culture) crown for our own Super-hero Daddy.  Actually he received 2 crowns, because after the kiddoes helped me make this one, The Girl decided it wasn't her style.  So she made another one.  Somehow I didn't get a picture of it (bad mommy), but it had the words "Our Hero" on it as well as a blue ribbon (because it was the best crown, obviously) and a picture of SuperHero Daddy saving the day.

And his second present (idea from Alphamom):

A Hero Survival Kit with this inside:

A letter from The Girl, goodies like Hero Juice and X-ray Vision Drops (with funny tag lines - check the link for the full list), and an "Our Hero" book made by The Girl.  The book involves Hero Daddy saving some people from a falling meteorite, walking home, watching his favorite movie (in his green chair) with his kids and then going to sleep.  Sounds like a good Hero Day :)!

And his final present:

Homemade StarWars toys!  Just print, cut and assemble.  Found at Toy-a-Day.  Are they not so freakin' cute!?!  OK, so maybe die-hard StarWars fans don't care for cute.  But I think they're adorable :). And The Boy loves them.  A good intro to Star Wars, perhaps, as I'm not ready for them to watch the movies yet!

We also made some pictures for the Granddads:

which I printed and framed in a "We Love..." frame.  Man, it was difficult to get a decent picture of the two of them together!  Good photographer, I am not.

And this is how Father's Day ended:

Happy Father's Day to Our SuperHero Daddy (and Granddads)!
