RegGuheert Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Might I recommend a nice striped necktie? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Might I recommend a nice striped necktie? :D :D No, no. We did that for his birthday last April. My hubby is getting 'Beyond Belief' by Josh Hamilton. He asked for it and I'm dying to read it myself. Don't know what else.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 A 5-opening picture frame, with pictures of the kids holding large spray-painted white letters to spell the word D-A-D-D-Y. One letter in each opening. Black and white pictures. Each kid will have one individual, and there will be two group pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Mine wants a small-sized Channel Locks to match the large one he got for his birthday... so that's what he'll get. The nice bonus is they are made in the US (in PA at that), so that'll be our little 'spur' to the economy. Then we'll head out geocaching... probably a mountain hike, but I need to find one first. We've had our eye on one in Harper's Ferry... so far it's top on my list. We'll just have to see if it's top on his list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 What's dad getting for fathers day?? We are taking him out for a seafood dinner(we are in New England:)), mini golf and ice cream at his favorite place. Then we will hit the drive-in (the kids LOVE going) and watch the movie UP:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughing lioness Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 We are getting a nice waffle maker and making a waffle breakfast for him-complete with strawberries from the garden. He keeps saying, "if only we had a waffle iron- we could have waffles for breakfast." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 A grinder for his compost, if I can find one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofSeven Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 New curtains, hanging pics of the kids, shelving and some chachkas(sp?) sprinkled about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) JC Penney portraits has a coupon for free sitting fee and a free 8X10 right now. So my dh is getting a pic of the kids as one of his gifts. We haven't had a professional group picture of our children taken before so I think he will be surprised. We usually buy him some of his favorite tea and chocolate covered almonds for Father's Day. Other than that I am out of ideas. Update: Thanks for the Father's Day reminder - I just ordered him new swim trunks. He is really tall and they are hard to find in the store so I order them in tall for him. Yeah!

elegantlion Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'll probably buy dh some DVDs. We've been working on getting some seasons of our favorite shows. Probably "Mission Impossible" and "The Closer". It's June 21st in case any one else is curious. I had to look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I've narrowed it down to either a subscription to World magazine, or a new ice chest. I'll probably also bake something for him, lol! That doesn't happen very often. If you want me to bake, you have 'ta pay me! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Oh gosh! :( I have not thought about it at all really. We will have to make him something tomorrow while he is at work. My oldest will not be here on Father's Day (he will be with his grandma on his dad's side - dh is his step-dad). My dh doesn't like the traditional stuff. He doesn't want sweets (because will EAT them LOL), don't want me to spend lots of money to buy him something he probably won't like anyway (he is super picky about everything). Gosh! I have no idea. EEP! Then, there is my dad who is getting a divorce...I guess I oughta at least send him a card, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peek a Boo Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 A gray pocket T-shirt [his eyes are steely blue/gray]. On the pocket, it will say "My Kids Walk All Over Me On the back, it will have this poem: "Walk a little slower Daddy," said a child so small, "I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me. Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be; Then I will have a little child Who'll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true, So walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you." each child will have their own color paint, and we'll put their footprints all over the shirt. we did one yeeeears ago and he wore it EVERYWHERE. but we've had a few more kids since then......

Doran Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 ...a charcoal chimney from Lowe's (Weber brand). Dh does not grill...but his whole life is about to change. :lol: Actually, he expressed interest, so the girls are seizing the moment.

mohsmom23 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm taking the kids today to get their picture taken together since he's always asking for pictures of them to put in his office at work. We've never had professional pics taken of the kids before so he'll really like this...that is if they cooperate and smile for the camera! We'll also be making a nice breakfast for him since it's his favorite meal of the day, and he usually has to cook his own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Maybe a new laptop, but it will be delayed just a bit until I am back to work (off with a back/hip issue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
