our super dad.

Have you ever been inspired by one tiny little thing, that has snowballed into a full blown avalanche of ideas? This happens to me all the time. It can be a color scheme, a paper plate, a kids toy or even something as simple as a bottle.

And that is how a bottle of this…

turned into an all out ‘Super Dad’ Father’s Day bash!

I had stopped down the pop isle to grab a case of Jone’s Soda, figuring I would put a cute little label with a picture of Darren on it, to drink for Father’s Day. But when I spotted the case of Dad’s Root Beer, I couldn’t have been more excited.

Thinking I would do a red/blue/yellow color scheme, I quickly realized that Superman’s colors are exactly the same, and the ‘Super Dad’

theme was created. (that’s how my mind works, in case you were wondering how I do it)

Red paper plates, blue napkins and yellow tissue paper, coupled with some funky bowls (which I already owned, and couldn’t have matched better if I planned it)

And my favorite part was the Super Dad banner, which honestly was so simple. (I put together a little mini album if you want some instructions as well as the font I used. LINK)

And there’s our Dad himself, cooking up his own dinner, how cruel of me. LOL! (I don’t bbq, or mop if we’re being honest)

Now, let me tell you. Those steaks he cooked were to DIE for!! Seriously, I actually worked up the courage to ask the butcher at our local grocery store to pick me the best cut of steak they had, and he didn’t lead me astray. I doubt I can ever got back to the cheap steaks we’ve been eating. haha!

We had a short break from eating to digest all that yummy food, and opened some gifts from the kids.

Some new killer shades. ha!

Then onto the cake. Darren requested Chocolate Skor Cake, but with Crispy Crunch bars instead.

Add some red/blue/yellow sprinkles and turn it into a Super Dad cake.

This mess however, was not quite so super.

Hope you had a great day with the men you love!!

I can't seem to print your letters out on my computer and I can't make my letters on my word any bigger than 72 font size. Is there a way you could send me a link to your printable font?

[Jessie]

Thanks so much for the printable Super Dad letters! Having the layout already done sure saved me some time!

[Megan]

Where did you buy the dad's rootbeer?

[Sharon]

Love this idea and am planning on doing it for my husband. I even found a Superman shirt at Walmart to go with the theme. Do you remember what size you made the letters? I know you said the bookman font but just wondering how big?

[Tiffany]

Very cute idea! Where did you buy the Dad's Root Beer at?

[Verna]
