This year we have a distinct lack of money, which I am sure is the same for a lot of you, so we have decided to not bother with the presents (especially because poor old mum didn't get anything on Mother's day!!).
Instead we are made a nice card and the girls will be helping me to make his favourite dinner (paella) on the day.
Now we didn't want any old card, I find it is always nice to have something a bit personal, means more I think. By chance I happened to find the lovely Bella-Doodle on facebook. She makes beautiful handmade crayons and chalks and when I found her she was selling small pots of her crayons along with different Father's day cards that your children could colur in using said crayons.
It must have been fate because Daddy Hazelden is carpenter and she was selling a set with a card that had carpenters tools on, I had to buy it right??
When they arrived, I was really pleased. We had a mixture of shapes and colours, including hello kitty, stars, peppa pig, lego and a cupcake. So the kids set to work on colouring in the card. They each chose a different tool and letter to colour, taking it in turns, for once there was no arguments!!
That was until the time to write in the card came. Both Elise and Freya can write their own names and their sister's names, so both wanted to do it, neither one could agree on who wrote what, that's when the tantrums started (joys of being a mum). After a good 20 minutes we finally had the card written and sealed. It is now in hiding somewhere, I don't know where, let's hope the girls can still find it when Sunday arrives.
What are you doing for Father's day??
