There are many birthdays coming up in August/September in my family. The kids are going to range between 3-5 years old. I have decided that I will no longer contribute to the useless toys that have no educational value that they receive mountains of from the rest of the family each year. Instead, I will carefully and lovingly plan a fun, educational present that they will love just as much as the mind numbing video games!

This year I'm going with a gardening theme. I painted tin buckets, each with different garden related objects (ladybugs, sunflowers, grasshoppers etc.) and found matching gloves, mini shovels and watering cans to go with each tin. I will pick up packets of various vegetable and flower seeds. The last thing I want to go with these presents is a GOOD childrens picture book that has a gardening theme. Something that is going to be colorful and either teach them about the growing process or have a cute story about gardening. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

There's the classic --The Carrot Seed.

Or Lois Ehlert's -- Growing Vegetable Soup (among other books she's written about the subject of growing).

My grandfather (who adopted me at birth and I call him "father") is turning 75 years old shortly after Father's Day, and he is very active physically. He singlehandedly grows a 2 acre vegetable and herb garden, grows peach trees, loves to BBQ, hunt, fish, and he's very intellectual. He loves military history, and discuss you tired with current events. He also loves a good drink and very kind and loving to cats and dogs. With that being said, what are some great Father's Day gifts that caters to his interests? Thank you in advance.

I know this might sound a bit hinky, but I really don't intend for it to be such. I have found, with my hubby anyway, that if in the morning I give him a little pleasure (usually oral and/or manual), I own him for the day. He calls me on his way to work. He calls me on his lunch break. He calls me on the way home. And he comes straight home. On weekends when I do it, I have gotten him to clean out the garage and his junk room (without a fight!). He cleared the fields in back of our place for my vegetable garden. He has surprised me twice with gifts and 3 times with taking me out on a dinner date without the kids along.
I was thinking that for 5 to 10 minutes of "work" I am getting mountains moved. My sister and g/fs think I am being manipulative and abusive. All I know is he is happy and I am happy. What do you think, am I a bad wife for doing this?

I am not married yet, in fact I am still a virgin, but, looking at the answers you are receiving here, I would say your husband must think he has died and gone to heaven! I think I am going to do this same thing when I get married and see if I get the same results. The thing I am most impressed with here is that all the guys seem to be on the same page and think you are wife of the century! Hey for ten minutes of "work" you are getting maximum returns on your investment. By all means you need to write a book or get on the talk shows...when women find out about this trick (hahaha) I think divorce lawyers are going to go out of business!
