father's day present

my kids are obsessed with star wars. and I am only half of the reason why. (I married the other half). and doug likes to mock the family stickers on the back of cars (especially the ones that put the kids name on it).

so the kids gave him those for fathers day (purchased here). they make our new van look stylin'. Isaac calls our van the Death Star.

might have to learn how to knit, so i can make these:

I really am still alive...
