Happy Father's Day!

June 14, 2012
It's that time of the year again-- Fathers Day is this Sunday.  Happy Father's Day to all the Macaroni Dads and Granddads out there!  I always have a hard time figuring out what to get our Macaroni Dad.  I mean, does he really need another tie or coffee mug?  At our house, I like to sit down with the kids and "interview" them about dear old dad.  Their answers crack me up!  

1. What is your dad's name?
2. How old is your dad?
3. What is your dad's job?
4. How tall is your dad?
5. What makes your dad mad?
6. What makes your dad happy? 
7. What is your dad's favorite food?
8. What does your dad like to do best?
9. How strong is your dad?
10. What is something your dad always says?
11. How does your dad show that he loves you?
12. If your dad had a superpower, what would it be?
13. What is your favorite thing to do with your dad?
14. What do you like best about your dad? 

You can write down the answers, get fancy and type it up on the computer, or your children can answer in their own handwriting. You could also record a video of your child answering questions about Dad! Add a picture of Dad and the kids, either photograph or child-drawn, and you've got a simple but meaningful Father's Day gift.  

Show your Macaroni Dad how much you love him this Father's Day! (Granddads too!)
