This year for Father's Day, Mr. Serious got some very special artwork. Two years ago, I did some artwork for Mr. Serious for Father's Day and he loved it.
I painted this canvas, and put some cute Izzy foot prints and pictures on it for him to take to work. It was also framed, but I don't have a picture of that. I also did a collage for the house.
So, this year, I had to do the same thing. And, one easy thing about having your kids' birthdays one day apart? They are the same age on holidays (roughly).
But, there was a twist. This year, Isabelle got to paint the canvas. And while it doesn't look like it, they are the same colors. It also has Natalie's cute footprints this time and pictures. And, of course, there is now a collage wall hanging for the house.
Of course, Mr. Serious loved them. Izzy presented the canvas to him saying "here daddy, I painted this for you!" She has been wanting to paint non-stop ever since.
At his request, after church and nap time, we headed up to the pool for a swim in what felt like bath water.
He and Izzy had a great time. She kept jumping in the water and was even trying to swim to us. I never would have guessed my water fearing baby from last year would be such a fish this year.
Happy Father's Day, babe. You are the best father the girls could ever ask for.

I love the artwork and I like that you can compare how the girls look because of how their birthdays fall.
Have a great day!
The artwork is wonderful! The best presents are made with LOVE. What a wonderful Father's Day!
Cute collages. What a nice way to spend Father's Day.
You show up in my reader just fine.
