Father's Day

So, Father's Day has come and gone and boy, did I work my behind off to be this creative person. Corbin and I worked super hard this year making our Father's Day presents.

I tend to love, love, love homemade gifts. They make my heart smile. I hope they do the same for Allen!

Corbin painted two rocks this year. After we painted the rocks, we threw some designs on the and then I painted "Daddy rocks" and "Pa Pa rocks" on them. It was a pretty simple idea. Corbin loved being able to paint them. He even got mad at me when I tried to help.

He's a creative little bugger!

We had so much fun doing that we decided to continue on with our painting skills. I decided that it would be AWESOME to do some type of gift the involved hand prints. SO I found this poem online and typed it up and printed it out. Then, I took Corbin's little hands, covered them in paint and BAM, made another brilliant little gift. Of course, I couldn't leave out Devin so I did his hands too. That wasn't as easy (or as fun!) as he was not thrilled with me forcing his hands open. He likes to curl them up still. Of course, doing Corbin's hand print wasn't all peachy either. It took three tries to get it right but we had fun doing it¡ Corbin will probably have our fun etched in his little mind and next time we pull out our paints, I have every idea, he's going to try and paint himself! Hopefully, it's Allen that decides to paint with him again!

We also took a Pringles can and cut out some construction paper. I let Corbin draw all over the paper and then we taped it around the Pringles can. Then, I put a million Hershey's kisses in the can and wrote, "Filled with kisses." This was a super simple gift that just popped in my head.

But, we aren't done. I got carried this year and also did a edible treat that spelled out "DAD." The two D's were brownies and the "A" was a cookie. It was easy but I did it while Corbin was asleep because he enjoys eating sweets way too much and I don't like giving him junk food. Anyway, Allen enjoyed it!

Finally, I ordered both my dad and Allen's dad, and Allen, a mouse pad with pictures on it. They looked pretty awesome!

All in all, I think we did good for Father's Day. Allen got a lot of homemade gifts and I only spent like $15! I'd post pictures of our creations but I'm not that talented and I have no idea how. Plus, is it really worth posting pictures for the ZERO people who read this stupid blog? UM NO.

Hopefully though, next year, I won't discover that I did ALL the cool ideas this year and be stuck with no creative gift ideas!
