Father's Day

This year for Father's Day I got ambitious and decided that we would make Pratt's gift this year...I know right, crazy!?!?!?! Anyway, thankfully there is this really great craft store called Michaels and they make it really easy to do crafts for the craft impaired. So the children and I headed over there and found a whole section dedicated to Father's Day. They had everything we needed to make picture frames for Pratt's new office and I couldn't have been happier with the result! Shelby and JP had so much fun painting their little frames, picking out which picture they wanted to put in the frame of them and Pratt, and then giving the presents to Pratt on Father's Day. Everything went smoothly with the whole project except I forgot one little thing....the children painted those little wooden frames that you put the little peg in the hole on the back of the frame to make it stand up; well, I didn't think to look at the hole placement before we started and they ended up painting on them upside down, so they don't exactly stand up like they are supposed to...ooopppsss;)

I decided that it didn't really matter in the end. They had fun, I had fun and Pratt can figure out what to do with them at work.

Here is a close up of Shelby painting. I just love profile pictures....doesn't she look like an angel?? Okay, I might be a little biased, but still....



And here is JP. He really surprised me at how much he was into it. Shelby loves doing crafts of all types so I knew that she would be excited and work hard, but I was a little concerned about how JP's attention span would be. Turns out, it was great. He worked diligently on his frame and made sure that he even painted the the edges.



Father's Day was an absolute blast and since it was his day we let him pick whatever he wanted to do. Pratt decided he wanted to go over to John and Sandi's to enjoy the water and get in a little boat ride. We were pleasently surprised to get there find that some of Pratt's cousins and their children were there as well. We had a wonderful day and I hope that Pratt really enjoyed himself.

Shelby, my little fish......
