For Father's Day, Neil and I went to Color Me Mine here in Pittsburgh. Neil finger painted a pencil holder and I painted a mug, and we put Neil's feet on both of them. It could probably have been better- to do it without Dave knowing I took him after his 4 month appointment which had some shots, and Neil was not in the best of moods (ended up having a fever the whole weekend and being pretty cranky). But he was a trooper and was very focused on his pencil holder.
I picked them up a little over a week later, and they look amazing! I was really happy with the final product.

This is a really clever and sweet idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Neil loved doing it. It probably was a nice change after getting shots... And I LOVED them both! Pencil holder is here at work, and the mug I'll use at home. Really awesome! Thank you! Love you!
ReplyDeleteI like the picture with Dave trying to display them but Neil decides he'd rather chew on the pencil cup.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!
