Donuts/Doughnuts with Dad and Happy Father's Day

Just sent these 3 off to Donuts with Dad at school. The boys were SO excited that Daddy was going with them today! He is normally gone before they wake up so this was such a treat! I'm sure that Joel will not take a picture at school so I had to snap one before they went!
 

We had a fabulous Father's Day weekend at the lake. Will update soon with pictures. Life has been so busy lately that I have not had the time to blog, but wanted to make sure we celebrated Daddy on his 5th Father's Day. We love you!
 
Also, Happy Father's Day to my Dad and Joel's Dad! We are lucky to have such great Dads in our life!
 
Lastly, the spelling of donuts has always really bothered me. Is it donuts or is it doughnuts??? In case you were wondering (like I was) on the correct spelling of donuts/doughnuts, here's what I found:

Doughnut vs. donut

The dictionary-approved spelling for the ring-shaped cake made of dough and fried in fat is doughnut. The shortened donut has been around since the late 1800s, but it wasn’t popularized until the late 20th century, when the successful American doughnut chain Dunkin’ Donuts made it ubiquitous. Today, writers outside the U.S. still favor doughnut by a wide margin. Donut appears about a third of the time in published American writing.

Donut is a simpler spelling, so it may grow even more common now that it has a foothold. Those of us who don’t wish to assist Dunkin’ Donuts’s branding would be wise to resist the trend, though.
 
Happy Monday!!!
