Well, the kids are in bed, Andrew and John Paul are at a baseball game, and I've done all the gardening I can manage for the night... How about some quick takes?

My Sunday Best, Volume 59: Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! Do you have someone in your life you're celebrating today? Are you wishing your priests a Happy Father's Day?

I got Andrew and the boys adorable matching Tolkien t-shirts from Kaitlyn's shop (affiliate link!) and grabbed muffins for breakfast, so I'm feeling proud of myself for actually remembering a gift! Did you get your husband or father something awesome? 

Father's Day Gift Ideas {Five Favorites}

Father's Day is in a week and a half! What are YOU getting your guy this year?

1. Rustic Bottle Opener with cap catcher - perfect for mounting right near his favorite spot to pop open a cold one!

2. Dadasaurus-Babysaurus Shirts - comes in different colors and sizes, too!

3. Father-Son Nerd Shirts - because seriously. Amazing (sizes baby through big kids!)

4. St. Joseph Icon - because who would be a better role model?

5. Reef Bottle Opener Sandal - there's a bottle opener on the bottom. Always be prepared.

So what did I *actually* get Andrew? Well, I'll tell you right now because he already knows... This book just came in the mail and I'm planning on letting him pick out some cocktails for us to make together soon!

Linking up with the lovely Jenna for Five Favorites.

Happy Father's Day!

As you can see, Elizabeth made the most impressive contribution...

Of course, RIGHT after I showed this to Andrew, she started marching around saying, "Wuv you Dad!!!"  

A good student, clearly.

Here's Father's Day 2013, Why I Love My Husband, Father's Day 2012, and Father's Day 2011, just in case you want to click all the things and read about nothing...

And in the interest of answering more of Cecilia's incessant questions (why can't I see the noodles when they're cooking? can I touch the hot pot? why would fire burn me? when will you die? can I take the name Therese when I'm a nun? why did the witch not want Rapunzel to leave her tower?), I'll leave the post at that, and maybe try a WIWS post later, since I got pictures!
