Karen and I just wanted to wish all you daddies out there a wonderful and especially sweet Father’s Day.  I am terrible about mailing cards.  I don’t think it has anything do do with being frugal as much as it does laziness.  The way I see it, if I am going to spend $ on my daddies for Father’s Day, I want to hear their voices – not just send them paper.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.  (I know we have some faithful dad readers. ;) )  We hope you have a great, chaotic-free day with your kids. 
I’d especially like to wish my three favorite dads a great day – my husband, my dad, and my father-in-law. 
Here’s a little song from one of my favorite sites for preschool activities.

Have a happy Father’s Day!

Check out this easy and thrifty craft idea for Father’s Day.  We made these this week in my preschool class.  Last week I took pictures of the kids as they were holding a child size fishing pole.  Today we used jumbo colored craft sticks and glued them around the picture.  Then we used fish craft foam stickers and put them on the frame. The stickers are thrifty too.  I got a bucket of 300 stickers at Dollar Tree for $1.
