Father's Day Part 2

I didn't want to post this until after Father's Day just to make sure Dave doesn't see this before he gets his presents.

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.


Is someone teething? Good thing the paint was non-toxic, these are dishwasher safe,
and I'm glad he was more focused on the painting part than the chewing part when we made these!

  1. This is a really clever and sweet idea.

  2. I'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!

  3. I like the picture with Dave trying to display them but Neil decides he'd rather chew on the pencil cup.
