Watercolor Artwork- Ben's "don't spend money on me" Birthday Present

This past week was my hubby's birthday and
 I'm just now getting around to posting about it! (soooo busy.)
I was told to spend no money on presents for him...
I PARTIALLY listened.. ;)


We all got down on the floor and colored him a birthday banner to come home too.. 
sienna was of course trying to rip the paper and eat it. typical. this girl tries to eat everything. sophia was never really like that...my mom said I finally have a normal baby. ;)

I had been wanting to have sophia paint with watercolors...and thought it would be the perfect crafty diy birthday present! she LOVED painting..and I was so impressed with how "artsy" some of hers turned out!
I chose two to frame.. and the rest were saved to show daddy. :)
Sienna even got into it..I painted her sweet little chubby hands 
and pressed them down for some cute prints. 
And of course sophia had to paint her hands then too....;)

I ran by Ikea and got some inexpensive frames.
I'm so happy with how they turned out..

The birthday boy loved his presents!
We had a little get together with friends the day after his birthday.
It was going to be a cook out/picnic at the park..with bball for the guys/dads and the playground for the kids. but all of a sudden a huge storm came through (weatherman=fail) so we did a quick clean(hide) and had everyone over to our place instead. it was fun! and luckily the rain let up and we all went outside in the end to play!

I love you ben.

You are such a such a wonderful daddy to our girls.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!
