Well, I thought perhaps this should go under Tea and Conversation, but really, it *is* about Family Life.
My ability to think creatively has all but vanished within my little brain since having twins. (You know, with the 3 hours of sleep I get in any given 24 hours) I have my usual Father's Day gift for my husband (I like to do a yearly photo collage of the kids over the past year - something he can take to work and put on his desk - that kind of thing), and I typically have the girls make him a card. ... but lately that's become a bit of a chore and the girls aren't very enthusiastic about it anymore.
What are some good ideas for my little girls to do for their Daddy? My little ladies are still little (7, 5, 3, and of course, the baby twins). As self-serving as it may be, I really, really need something easy that doesn't take up much of my time and *preferably* something they can do on their own. ... I'm just not up to being "stellar crafty-mom" yet (... if ever).

When my boys were littler, one year they made Daddy coupons for "special" treats, like hugs, kisses, emptying the garbage out of his car, helping him take out the garbage, clearing his dinner plate, etc. just simple chores and helps that they could do as little people. They each decorated a small 5 page coupon book (a few sheets of stapled together paper). I only had to write the "gifts" on each sheet for them.

What about making some SUPER easy for desert?
I am thinking instant pudding or arranging a box of cookies on a plate.
