So, yesterday- we bought a 6 pack of soda (glass soda bottles) and then proceeded to empty 5 of them into a 2 liter bottle and wash and dry them. The girls then worked on painting the box them came in black while I worked on painting the D A D letters white. I got a picture of each girl holding a letter- Iris held D, Penny A, and Coraline D... then, somehow, lord knows how!... I got them to each sit still on a step outside long enough that i got ONE good picture of all three of them spelling out "DAD" and put each of them in a frame. It worked really well.
After the bottles were dried, we filled them with candies purchased from my first trip to B.A. Sweeties. 1 bottle remained filled with Black Cherry cola, and the others got filled with gum, snow caps, jelly beans, Reese's, and chocolate covered sunflower seeds. Then, on the outside of the box, i wrote Happy Anniversary/Father's day (since they fell on the same day this year... and, in case you don't know, the 6th anniversary is Sweets :-p)
Today, we made Father's Day cards. I simply cut ties out of construction paper, let the girls decorate them, and then we put hand prints on them... in Penny's case, she didn't want paint, so I traced her hand....
Overall, it turned out to be a wonderful day and a very nice surprise for mike... Sorry for the vagueness yesterday! hehe
