I like to do things big. The more tissue paper & ribbon, the better. Rod is my opposite. He likes low key & by low key I mean nothing. No a single crumb from a cookie.  I am slowly learning what he likes on his special days (i.e. birthday, dad's day.) & using every bit of will power in me to respect his idea of a happy celebration. He said I succeeded this fathers day.  We made him breakfast of course, went to church where he was honored with an M&M bow tie which he immediately put on. cute guy. & we had a yummy but not so memorable dinner. i did make baked goods. I folded on that one. The wee ones presented Rod with a book made especially for their Dad. We had a lot of fun compiling this over the past few months. Some answers gave us a good laugh. He cherishes that book now. It lives on his dresser, away from sticky jelly fingers.  The answers are darling, but I loved looking at all the pictures, I think Rod did too. It is a 7 year span of memories. Moments between him & the children. Stolen or planned moments, all special, because he just loves those kids to pieces. He is the Dad who gets home from work, hurries to change and has the boys busy with lacrosse or swimming or wrestling on the floor till someone cries. Last night he had the cooking bug. He took the boys to a fresh market & then gave them tasks in preparing the meal. I was a puddle on the floor (okay it was the couch with Presley.) He never stops. I can tell he is using up every moment he has. I love the father of my babes.

Some of those answers are hysterical! Costco, 5 feet tall... I love asking my boys questions to see what they say. After all, kids say the darndest things. :) They recently told me that if they were rich (which meant "having 1000 dollars"), they would get richer by buying more money with their money. Lol! Love kids!
I love the book. What a cute way to reminisce about all of his years of being a father! You are so great at coming up with cool gifts!

That is a WONDERFUL gift! I LOVE it! I so wanted to do something sweet for Brad from his little girl this year, but I never seem to have two seconds with free hands, so it was easier to buy a grill... His oh so sweet gift was on back order. ;)
