Our house is near an elementary school, so it really feels like summer has begun now that the campus is quiet and the children are gone. In addition, Father's Day always falls at the end of the school year, so it is confirmed...summer vacation! Speaking of Father's Day, College Girl put together a basket of her Dad's favorite snacks, along with a new golf shirt. He has a few golf shirts to wear, but continues to choose a green one which has seen better days. You know how that is...you find a favorite clothing item and keep wearing it over and over? I've done it myself so I understand. The replacement is a new green golf shirt. Hope it brings him luck on the course. :)
We found some great free Father's Day printables at
Hello Lucky to dress up the basket and the root beer bottle, as well as a festive tabletop sign. Dad requested spaghetti for dinner, and College Girl made him Rice Krispie treats for dessert~
With Father's Day behind us and the weather warming up, guess what we spotted? An ice cream truck...but not just any ice cream truck. We saw the comic book version of Archies Ice Cream trucks!
These trucks are available for all kinds of special events and have a celebrity following. Our local neighborhood ice cream truck is not as colorful as Archies. But, I do enjoy hearing it play the song 'Camp Town Races' late in the afternoon as I work on a card or scrapbook page. It is another reminder that books and lunch bags won't be needed for awhile, and that setting the alarm is optional.
Hope everyone enjoyed celebrating Father's Day with the special men in your life.
