Now that we're pretty much done having kids, I think I'm going to attempt the Pinterest popular D A D frame. I'm also getting him a DAD camping mug. The girls will help me make a card for him.
Day of we'll make breakfast in bed for him and whatever he wants to do. Which I already know will be steaks on the grill and celebrating with his dad. 
The girls will also help me with this craft for FIL. He's a huge sweets fan! and a card for BIL.

@regberadaisy: I love that sweets card!! My FIL has quite the sweet tooth, too. Definitely stealing that for him this year!
We've done the DAD frame every year with DD1, and I got DH an album to keep the pictures in for each year. Excited to do it again with both girls. His "gift" is going away for a weekend to see a concert with his buddy. On the day of, we will let him sleep in, make breakfast, and let him dictate what else he wants out of the day. Golf maybe?

I have a picture of my dad on his John Deere tractor with my DS on his ride-on tractor that I want to get printed on wood from woodsnap.
As far as DH... no idea yet. He's not super sentimental and I did some cute pictures for him last year.

@MrsRoo: I saw that on Pinterest and immediately thought of FIL! Rite Aid always has crazy candy sales, so check there! I need to come up with some alternatives because some of the candy used in that image are British.

I bought him a Yeti cooler which I've already given to him because we are going to the horse races this weekend and I wanted him to be able to use it. I got him matching ties for him and our baby boy, and coordinating t-shirts for him and our 3 year old girl that they'll give to him on father's day. We'll be down in Destin, FL father's day weekend so we'll probably sit on the beach all day and let him pick where we have dinner.
No clue what I'm getting my dad!

Probably nothing! DH gets me flowers/card and that's about it. I might either surprise him with a date day/night, or tell him to pick a day to go fishing and I'll watch DD.

I don't know yet, but I've been thinking. For his birthday, I offered him a night away if we wanted to go to Atlantic City with friends or something and he said he would miss the kids too much. So that's a bust for Father's day.
I'll let him sleep in, of course. He's not really into brunch like I am---maybe a day of bike riding as a family? One year I bought him a bike seat for LO for Father's Day and that was the best gift ever, because he looooves taking LO1 on bike rides. And we need a bike seat for LO2, but I'm not sure if that's dumb to do the same gift again.

Yep! I will actually be away for work on Father's Day so I can't do much for him on the day. I'm planning a really fun day out for the family when I get back and some gifts that I know he'll love!

I'm thinking of letting my husband play golf with his friends while I take the girls to see my dad. I'm thinking of attempting some of those chalk drawings I've seen on Pinterest... but I might just get him an updated DAD picture, since the last one I did was when my oldest was an infant.

DH and I will be on a kid-free trip to Europe on Father's Day itself, so we are "celebrating" the weekend before. We'll probably do the exact same thing we did on Mother's Day - trip to the park and our favorite dive restaurant/bar for lunch afterward. I got him a cell phone wallet case for our trip. His gift "from" DS is going to be a Keurig.

No clue what I am going to get him. Probably something he wants for the Big Green Egg. I just am not sure how much it costs. We don't do anything big really.
I already got my Dad a pocket knife and then a family sign for my Mom and him as a Mother's-Father's day combo gift. It is also serving as our pregnancy announcement.

I gave him money toward his fancy new bike, so I think that's it. We will of course get him something from H.

I bought my husband a tshirt but then I gave it to him because I'm really bad at waiting. I'm going to take our older son to one of those painting places and have him paint a mug, and then I'll plan something nice for dinner.

I picked up some cards for him a few days ago. A perfect superhero one from the kids. I did buy him a t-shirt but he opened the package and has already worn it a few times. Father's day fail! Haha.
I'm thinking he loves road trips and it's a lot of work to get the kids out but, for Father's day, I'll make it work.
Depending on where we stay and if there is a kitchen... maybe I'll try breakfast in bed.

I'll get him a Hawaiian tee, which is what he's requested instead of a tie, lol. I'm not going overboard, because he went to PAX East last month and that cost a pretty penny so that was part of his gift.

My husband and LO have a father's day activity: they go together to the comic book store and pick out new comics together.
Then, my parents come over and we grill up huge cowboy steaks for DH and my dad.
We don't really do gifts for MD/FD; we each buy ourselves something we want and I might get a small gift for my dad.

Not sure yet. DH is the best dad ever so I really want to make sure he feels appreciated and special but I just haven't figured out what I'm doing for him yet.

The only idea I have is a homemade card with NEPTR from Adventure Time on it. Maybe I'll get him a framed print of LO for his desk at work.
And for my father I was thinking a framed photo of my LO and a cookbook. I got him a slow cooker for Xmas and I was going to get him a healthy slow cooker cookbook.

There was a hot roast beef sandwich recipe on The a Kitchen last week that I plan to try for Fathers Day along with any special requests DH has.

I don't know yet! He'll be on vacation with his brothers that weekend. DD and I won't be able to talk to him until late in the evening. We'll celebrate the following week.

We're getting him a hammock for the yard. He's wanted one for years.
Also excited to do D.A.D. with three girls. It was hard last year getting them both to look OK at the same time. Having a third has made that so much easier.

@Meowkers: yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. My husband is hard to buy for because he doesn't really care about stuff. I will try to let him sleep in that day but I'm sure the kids will wake him up!

@MrsRoo: @oliviaoblivia: @BabyBoecksMom: Ok, I'm out of the loop, what's the DAD picture? Tried to google it but no luck.

LO is working on a book for his daddy. I'm planning on buying fishing gear DH has coveted. And other than that I suppose just wait and see what DH wants to do with his day.

@oliviaoblivia: Just bought my DH a hammock yesterday. He's also been wanting one for a while.

Getting him and dd1 matching sneakers. He always wants to match with her so I think (hope!) he'll love it. That's all I got so far!

@petitenoisette: kid one holds letter "D", kid two holds "A", kid three holds "D"

Our father's day was three days before mother's day here and the kids had done craft activities at daycare so we didn't do anything else.
(I see MD and FD as days on which the children are supposed to celebrate their parents and thus when they made a gift I am fine with nothing else happing that day).

I'd like to get a couple pictures framed for DH to have at work and key chain print of DS's foot. Besides gifts there isn't much else DH will want or want to do.
