Father's Day

First of all, happy Father's Day to all other FATtie daddies here (especially the new ones like me!)

How did you make out for Father's Day 2011?

Man, I CLEANED up for my first father's day.

-new work shoes (nice and fancy Italian-lookin' ones, super comfortable)
-new work blazer to wear as jacket to work. Complements my relatively new shirts nicely.

but best of all...

three coupons:

1) One backyard clean-up veto - every Sunday, i gotta clean up my backyard after our two big dogs and mow the lawn. It's no big deal but it's literally one full shlt bucket when I'm done and then I got a push-manual-lawnmower which is a workout. So yeah, this coupon gets me off the hook once when I wanna relax (wait a sec... that means I'll prolly have to look after the baby then...)

2) One free video gamin' weekend. A weekend where we don't leave the house and I can play all the games I want (like I used to pre-Emily) and my wife bring me tea when I want. Holy crap this is the best coupon ever. I think I'll use it one of the next two long weekends. (also some sexy perks I just noticed in the fineprint, man I married the best girl evah)

3) One free casino weekend - this one is insane and I'm not sure I'll use it. I get to go with friends to any casino I want for a weekend (local, indian, Foxwoods, Vegas, whatever). Pretty crazy and awesome. Not sure I'll use it but it's an awesome gift.

...oh, and a nice card.

pretty awesome. I think i'm spoiled cuz it's my first father's day. Next year I'll prolly get a technocoloured tie like I used to get for my dad.

Yesterday my two boys hosted a pool party. Which means I got to work my ass off cleaning, shopping and grilling for all the guests. So today I got a pass to not do a damn thing. I fully intend to use it too!

Happy Fathers' Day to all the Dads out there.

I got a Scooby Doo balloon, Cars 2 coloring book, and an Optimus Prime talking card. Yeah... my kids are 2 and 3.

Still cool though, my oldest brought them to me like priceless treasures, pretty funny and special to me.

I did get to order some Savage Worlds Deadlands stuff as well, so good score all around.

Belgian Waffles with blueberry sauce.

A case for my Blackberry & a card made by my youngest.

Totally Bacon Breakfast (I splurged and bought 2 lb of Boarshead bacon) followed by some disc golf.

Eggs, Bacon and sausage patties. Served to me on the couch while I watched Sportscenter. This was followed by the expectation that I can do absolutely nothing for the day. Hopefully, this will be followed by some gaming with the family this afternoon.

Happy Fathers Day everyone. I barely slip in there (19 days).

An EB games gift card and several full diapers. Tomorrow a lobster is added to the list (Night shift tonight so I can't enjoy it today).

wow great replies. Sounds like we have some loved fathers in the fort

You want to do Mohegan Sun, it's better than Foxwoods. Either way, you show up in CT, we might need to do some gamblin' together.

Congratulations. Where's the baby pics.

Ok, I tried and I am officially too dumb to use the internet. I never understood how to post photo's and I still don't get it.

But I promise you he is adorable.

Sunderland Morley George Russell (all family names) was born June 1st. I know I didn't post anything about it but I was a little timid and was unsure of the appropriateness but you guys are as close to friends as internet dudes get so I imagine it's cool.

It's also why I haven't been around much lately.

...but I think you have to be my friend on FB first which I'm totally cool with. Jacob Russell and i have a pretentious shot of me holding my mandolin. It's brutal!

My daughter made me a powerpoint presentation with photos of me and the kids and maudlin country music. It made me look pretty doggone good.

I'll want to lose a few pounds before the next one though.
