Father's Day

Randy was out of town for work the week leading up to Father's Day. This came in pretty handy when it came time to work on our gift for him. The kids & I loaded up & headed to the store to get all of Daddy's favorite treats. Then we turned them into this:
Here is how we did it. We emptied out a 6 pk of cream soda bottles & cleaned them out. Then i set the kids to work filling them up with all the goodies. We chose jelly bellies, hot tomales, sunflower seeds, honey roasted peanuts, gumballs, & sour patch kids.
Then i spray painted the carton & covered it with scrapbooking paper, ribbon, & a printed out template of the images. It turned out soooo cute!! And the kids were VERY proud of it!

The boys couldn't WAIT to give it to Randy... so we had to do it on Saturday morning instead of Sunday! Oh, well!!

Happy Father's Day Randy! We love you so much & are so lucky to have you. Of all the things you are good at (which is quite a lot!), being a father is what you are absolutely the BEST at! And i couldn't have chosen a better man to do the job or to share in the joy of parenting. You make us laugh & keep us on our toes. And thanks for balancing out my parenting neuroses! ha ha!
PS. If anyone wants the template to save for next year for the 6pk. You can find it HERE in .pdf form.
