Hand/Foot Crafted Mother’s Day Gift

For Mother’s Day, Mom and I took the kids to paint pottery. We painted tiles to use as trivets for myself, Mom, and Zona. The kids came and donated their hands and feet to the cause, then Paul came and picked them up while Mom and I finished painting. To get the prints, their hands and feet were painted and then imprinted on the piece. Greyson thought it tickled so his reactions were pretty funny. He also painted a Christmas ornament by himself. Piper was quite the handful, she wanted to jump right in to the paint, literally.

You can tell the two on the left were taken by a professional :)

I underestimated traffic to say the least. While on the highway, Greyson started saying “I have to go Tee Tee real bad! Right now! I have to go! Right now!” We tried to convince him he could hold it, but were obviously not successful. He went in his car seat. 2. After finding a local Target to buy Greyson some new clothes, we hit the road again to the BBQ. When we arrived I started getting Greyson’s clothes changed and Paul went to get Piper out. Well – she had an accident also. Her diaper had leaked all over her pants. She went to the BBQ (with my clients and co-workers) without any pants on. 3. On the way to church this morning I shared my granola bar with Greyson. He took too big a bite and threw up all over hims...
