Flashy Father's Day

Photo from Mister Pink's Breakfast 2 years ago.  Do you love my German chocolate sucker?

Ok so this is what I love about you and I.  We love tradition and always do the same type of thing but in two totally different directions that are so us.

This year we will be making our 8th Funky Father's day tie.  Every year I go to my local thrift shop and find an old funky tie to spruce up. 

The girls and I gather all of our doo dads from different drawers, bottles of glue and puffy paint.  On the tie above we made lots of shrinky dink drawings and then they magically shrunk into little works of art all over his sparkly tie. I think on the bottom they sewed one of the stretchy sea animals.

In 2204 I made the tie above and had put photos of the two little girls (I was pregnant with number 3). Mister Pink was not so happy with the homemade tie as it did look a little more clownish than normal.  He said he like the classic tie gone wild more than starting from scratch.  I did agree.

But starting with a blank canvas made it easy to stick it in my embroidery machine and work it's magic.
He is always such a sport to wear his tie to church every year.  Especially the year the girls tied jingle bells all along the bottom.

This year had shrinky dinks along with mini charms with the girls faces on it along with buttons, bells, ribbons and such. 

I am also throwing in this post what we gave the dad's at church in 2004.  (you should remember you wrote the poem for me even though you had already moved to Texas)  Sorry about the horrible flash reflection photo (this was pre my awesome camera days)
We got plastic pocket protectors, Bic pen and a sugar daddy sucker with a sticker with your poem.

Hip, Hip Hooray
Today is Father's Day!
For all the things you do for us
without complaining, without a fuss
As our ward we would like to say have a
"Sugar Daddy" Day.
Father's Day 2004

Yesterday was the last day of school - Finally! - so I will gather my school endings together in a post soon.  I am off to clean my house for a visit from Grammy and Papa Pink this week!

See ya friend! (we are so lucky our littles have such super dads!)
