National day and trailmix recipe

Today is National Write to Your Father Day.

If you haven't had your kids make a card for their dad, today is a good day to do it. Also, if you are anything like me you haven't talked to your dad much lately. It's always good to be reminded to take the time to tell someone you love them.

I did hear a good idea for a father's day card. It said to do an invitation for dad on the outside it says "You are invited..." and the inside they write an activity like
On one evening walk with me.
To go camping in the back yard with me.
To go on a bike/hike with me.
To go to the park for a picnic with me.
or any other activity you kid would love to do just with dad. Then they can decorate it and put it in with some homemade snack and then wrap it.

Daddy Snack
Spread 4 cups bite-sized shredded wheat on a cookie sheet. Cover with 1/3 c melted butter and bake at 350 for 15 min. Add 1 1/2 c pretzel sticks, 1/2 c peanuts, and 1/2 c dried fruit. Mix well. Bag in individual portions for each child to give for a gift.

Activity
Make homemade wrapping paper. Cut a potato in half and write "bAb" on the flat part. (has to be mirror immage so it says dAd on the paper) Carve out the writing and use the potato as a stamp to decorate butcher paper.
