Happy Father's Day!!
First and foremost, Happy Father's Day to all the MGoDads out there. Go Blue!
As my wife actually works later today, we're keeping it pretty simple here - my kids wanted to help my wife make breakfast, so we'll be enjoying that as soon as everyone is up. My daughter heard me reminscing about a full English breakfast a while back, so supposedly this is what I am getting.
They also apparently made something for me and that is the reason I was barred from the basement yesterday. That was a bit of a shame as I needed a few things from down there to fix something, so right now the wheelbarrow still has a flat tire, but I would rather be surprised by this gift.
Beyond that, we'll probably take the kids to the splash pad in Canton if the weather improves and do whatever else before my wife leaves for work. I'll also call my own dad later - my parents are up north for the weekend, so there won't be the same multi-generational gathering as we've had here in the past.
Ribs.
That's all.
oh man, that might be the only thing worse than a wedding on Sat in the fall.
look on the bright side of things. send the kids to grandma and grandpa's house and get a bottle of bubbly - celebrate the double day!
here i'll be getting kids up for barn chores, then church, then the girls will make a sick brunch for us all. for dinner there will be singing, some homemade goodies, and all of the children will undoubtedly come in waves with little gifts like drawings, airplanes, cards and a 'grown up' gift or two. might buy myself a handheld gps today since mine died last fall after a decade+ of good service.
happy father's day to all the mgodads. it is a blessed thing. and don't forget to honor your own dads - it will go well with you.
I got Yankee tix to a pair of weekend games in the bronx.
Daughter wrote a book about me in her 1st grade class.
golfing today is probably the worst of it (for everyone involved) so not a bad deal!
Also my third father's day, though my second with 2. We're headed up to a little family cottage on the lake where everyone can unplug for the day and just enjoy a bit of quiet in the beautiful outdoors. Can't wait.
Later we will be going to see the movie "Epic" in 3-D. Watching cool kids movies is a good perk of being a dad. I will likely be experiencing one of the best perks of fatherhood later in the evening when the kiddo is all gorked out on popcorn and glucose. That would be impromptu songs about things like armpits and stinky butts with an oscillation of singing voice between choir and heavy metal.
Already got some cool gifts - a bunch of bbq stuff, including a Michigan BBQ platter, drawings from kids for my office, and a new Michigan garden gnome to replace the one that was destroyed during Sandy.
After breakfast, the 6 year old is taking me to the driving range, then some general weekend stuff until our family BBQ tonight.
Although not a Michigan grad himself, he most
Exemplified what
Although my Dad's gone, I still have the pleasure of spending today with my twin boys and talk Michigan football with them, my brothers and brother-in-law. Happy Fathers'Day to all!
Nothing better than spending Father's Day in the beer garden with your wife, daugher, a couple liters of your favorite brew and some good eats. Can we get another verbal commit today? That'd be the icing on the cake.
Hanging out with the Man that made me into a MIchigan Man. MY FATHER.. Hes a great man and im glad hes my dad.. GO BLUE and HAIL TO THE VICTORS
Seeing Man of Steel with my son -think I'm as excited as he his. Then hitting the lake for some tubing and cruising.
Happy Father's Day to all my UM adversaries. Yes we butt heads but more than the teams we bleed for we share the greatest calling on earth. Being a Dad. So cheers to you all, even though you are steering your kids in the wrong direction, my hats off to you.
It's my first Father's Day as a dad. Sadly the wife is in medicine so she went in to work at 7am this morning and won't be back until 11am tomorrow, but Little Wolverine and I will have fun chasing each other around. Plus, my wife got yesterday off so we had a fun birthday/Father's day celebration (my birthday was Wednesday, the previous time she worked all day--sigh, just one more year of residency left!).
Calling my dad and stepdad and wishing them both a Happy Father's Day and then letting my wife and stepsons sleep in. I'm a morning person, they're not. Also going to watch highlights of the 1969 Michigan ohio game again.
I get the big piece of chicken.

My dad was an alum from Michigan and took me to my first game when I was just an infant. He had season tickets and I was lucky enough to see some of the greatest moments in Michigan football history (with my dad). I have only seen my dad cry around three times ever and two of them were when I was accepted to the University of Michigan and when I graduated. Go Blue! Happy Father's Day!
This year she had another son for me (Thursday), so I guess that's a good Father's Day present, too. It has been an amazing week to be a father in our house. Now, if we can just get a little sleep, lol.
And I was fortunate enought to be at the game in the OP. I grew up around a bunch of Spartan fans and one was kind enough to take me to the game because they knew I was a huge Michigan fan. Some MSU fans are gracious.
Took my wife, our kids and my parents and sister to the American Polish Cultural Center in Troy for the Father's Day brunch. Lots of fat-laden meats, great soups, a few salads, enough carbs to choke a mule and awesome desserts... Oh, and a cash bar. What's not to love?
