Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!

Today was Steve's birthday.  The kids had a lot of fun picking out his cake and gifts to make for him.  I wanted something that they could make for him themselves, and we searched the craft department.  I had hoped the perfect idea would hit me when I saw it.  I found a kit to make coffee mugs for $10 for 2 mugs.  SCORE.  Everything they needed was in the box! It was so fun to watch them paint the mugs, and they were so proud of their work.


You can tell by the teeth that Chaille was a little unsure of what we were doing.  Thankfully the paint was non-toxic.... I think!?!

He was very intent!  And I was impressed at him painting with his "cast hand!"

Nolan didn't quite get it either, but he had fun anyway.

Avery had a plan and stuck with it.  He wanted a camping scene with a fire and a tent.

All of the kids working, sans shirts, so that we didn't ruin any clothing!

Looks like it was a good thing they didn't have shirts on, huh?  She was "art" herself. LOL

Super Dad!  Happy Birthday!!

The finished products.  I'm sure Steve can't wait to drink out of these mugs... Ha ha ha...

We had to have cake and ice cream to celebrate the day!!  Happy Birthday, sweetheart!!!
