The one thing every man wants on Father's Day and everyday is R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Treat Dad with the respect he deserves for Father's Day by making him king for the day!
Here are some ideas of ways to give him the royal treatment:

1. Address him as King, Master, Royal Highness, etc.

2. Obey Dad immediately and completely (as usual :)) Let him know that he can command his "servants" to do anything he wishes, as he sits on his royal throne (the lazy boy, not the toilet). Dad can give silly commands like "jump on one leg all the way into the kitchen to get me a drink."

3. Make Dad dress the part with a paper or foil crown (see above) and scepter, with royal bathrobe or cape (sheet clasped together in the front).

4. Tell him how great he is while you feed him a royal feast (grapes, goblets of drink, and more) as he is fanned by his followers.

Tell me how your family shows respect or honor to the king of your home?

More than a Mug - Dad's Day #5

My Husband's Mug - Summer, Kyah, and Jolie

Hopefully by now you have thought a little about what you plan on doing for your husband for father's day. Dads love for the kids to make or buy them something, but they usually are not expecting more than a thoughtful mug or a crafty card made with love from the little ones.  However, they may want a little more from you. I know your husband is not your dad, but he is the father of your children, and he likes to know that he is loved and that all he does for the family is greatly appreciated. Since our children are so demanding, Dad often gets neglected. This is your chance to make it up to him. You know your husband better than anyone else. If you think real hard, I am sure you can come up with something that doesn't cost anything at all that you can do to make him feel loved and appreciated sometime this week. Do you know what I am talking about?:)

Theme Night for Father Fun - Dad's Day #3

You don't have to go out to have fun on the weekend.  Plan a fun theme evening at home anytime. 

For Father's Day it would be fun to pick one of Dad's favorite events or activities and get creative about recreating that event at home as a family.

For example, if Dad likes baseball, host a family baseball game complete with hot dogs, national anthem, big league chew, a trophy for the best dad and player, etc.

What are some theme evenings, you think your Dad would like?  OKC Thunder basketball anyone?
