Hey Dads
What did you get. I got a great big lump of home-made rocky road delivered on my forehead at 5.15am this morning and a cardboard door handle hanger that says dad rox priceless
Father's Day Present was early for me. The Cat's pumped Collingwood on Friday Night (AFL) !!
Present Number 2, was my 2 year old boy (2 and 2 months) actually being able to say "Happy Fathers Day Dad".
But I'll drop the hint today, that they should get me some Rocky Road!
Pressies:
Leave pass last night to the 'G to watch my Sainters cane the Blues ![]()
Sleep in this morning;
brekky feast of pancakes, maple syrup, bacon & coffee (Mrs Cartoon is a Canuck and therefore a pancake savant
);
home made cards from the kids;
and a Garmin 305 ![]()
It's all good here.
They let me sleep til 8:30 ![]()
Then presented me with a new rashie and a block of chocolate. Nothing better than lying in bed wearing a new rashie and eating rum n raisin choc ![]()
Home made card also very cool and a book on architecture which i love but i think they might hinting that thier brand new house is s??t, spoilt barstards
No kids here...so fathers day is boyfriends day![]()

Congrats kiteboy!
I bought myself a s/h sup last week, within days after buying a paddle...so wasn't expecting anything.
But, I forgot that it's about the kids, so got 2 coffee mugs, each decorated by my 2 (primary school) kids, 3 stubby holders (can never have too many of those
), a Darrell Lea bag and various home-made cards & pictures!!!
Spent yesterday windsurfing & sup'ing with mates & my 8yo son, paddling around in the harbour on a homemade board we got given to us, relaxing night with friends & a few ales last night, and just got back from a family stroll down the street, fish & chips lunch at beach playground, now kids & mum kicking back & I'm about to load up my gear for a sail - about 15-20kt cross-shore.
Very happy dad here! I'm not one for these 'commercial' type days, but a great weekend all the same.
My one and only (19) got up early before I went to work to give me a big hug and tell me he loves me
I also got a card and good present but he wasted his money as the hug did it for me ![]()
Congratulations kiteboy dave!
The first year or two be prepared to play second string to the missus as she loves him to death. Then they're fantastic for the next 5-6 years when they're innocent and completely trusting in you. Then they become older kids and eventually teenagers. You gotta keep your patience for maybe 10 years during that time until they become human again but it's fantastic watching them grow and develop. Eventually they become young humans and if you're lucky, good mates to boot.
Which all means you've still got the best ahead of you. Enjoy the ride!
I got a decorated cardboard tie from my 20month old boy ![]()
Visited the grandad and great grandad and watched their eyes light up to the lad's antics ![]()
And just now tucking into a bottle of Gage Roads Tripple (Limited Edition 2169/4000)
(That I grabbed off the shelf yesterday while said 20 month old was having a tanty in Dan Murphys - and then found out it was a $17 bottle of beer!) ![]()
Its alllllll good ![]()
Congrats Dave... it just gets better mate ![]()
I got a hand made card telling me not only was she stoked I was her dad but her best friend as well, a GoPro, taken out for brekky and a home cooked BBQ last night.
Oh, and 2 days of sailing thrown in for free. Happy dad!!!![]()
Congrats Kiteboy but just remember he'll disappoint you dearly when comes home one day and says he wants to be cool like the other kids & take up windsurfing ![]()
PS - great photo
