Today was Father's Day! I'm sure you were all aware of that long ago and well-prepared with a perfect, wonderful day for your hubby! I did realize sometime during the week this week that it would be Father's Day today. I mentioned it to my kids and one of my kids produced a card for my dh. I knew I should come up with SOMETHING nice for my dh but couldn't think of much. We're limited on $ so I knew he wouldn't want me to spend $ on anything. I also don't do the shopping!
So we went into the day with my forgetting in the morning that it was Father's Day until we were driving in the van to church. I made a lame attempt of telling him Happy Father's day a bit late and told the kids to tell him Happy Father's Day. Not a great start at honoring my dear dh!
This afternoon after we were home from church, I was sitting and looking through a book and zoning out and thinking various thoughts. I was also kind of thinking about something I could do for my dh for Father's Day. Thankfully the Lord gave me a little inspiration and I got an idea that was fun, simple and worked.
My dh had fallen asleep with a couple of the kids in the room so I decided to take each of them and interview them and video them about what they liked about daddy. I had them say something they appreciated about him or sing a song for fun or whatever. I got each of them for a quick interview.
After naptime (kids' and dh's) we hooked up the camcorder and watched their videos and then watched some other home videos from the last year. It was a good, free, fun way to celebrate him. I also did cook a little extra special supper and also did a few of the jobs he usually does for him today. So all in all, it ended better than it started and he had a good day! Hope you all enjoyed your dh's today as well!
