Toot Toot Tuesday-Easy Fathers Day Fun

We have to celebrate Fathers day a little early this year since we won't be with daddy on Sunday.

He is going to Utah to pick up his oldest son, and I am taking my kids to Portland so that Chad can get some good quality time with his boy without all of us in the way.

The kids still wanted to do something for him, and they love to draw pictures for him...and I saw this idea on SimpleKids-it was easy, fast, cheap and a great way to let the kids do something pretty much all on their own for their dad.

So I cut up a few pieces of scrapbook paper and let them color or write messages on the back of each slip. I wrote a few things the boys wanted to say, but the rest was all them.

(By the way-all those boxes in the background are full of little girl clothes being sent to all my various nieces this week. Bittersweet, happy to get them all out of the totes and out of the garage, but sad to know, no more baby girlies for me).
Then we had a basket of little notes and drawings ready for something more......so they wrapped them around some fun size candy bars, (my hubs has quite the sweet tooth), and taped them up. Now he will have a sweet treat with each little candy bar he opens.
The kids have been practicing a little song to sing for him when he comes home from work today and they are super excited to give him this basket with all of their hard work and love inside.
