the daddy banner

This is what we made Matt for Father's Day :) 

We finished late Saturday afternoon and everyone was so excited that we hung it right away, even though it was a tad early :)  The kids each decorated a letter (or two) and we also filled the first 'D' with sentences that start with the word 'Daddy'.  Isaac was the first to blurt out a sentence: "Daddy is big!"  He then hollered "Daddy throws me up in the air" about six hundred times and no matter how often I showed him that I had already written that sentence, it never seemed to sink in.  I sighed and tried to think patient thoughts.

The daddy banner is hanging across the world map (behind our kitchen table) and I think it looks great.

[And would totally make another one - maybe every Father's Day? -  except I need some tips on using a glue gun with a large letters and yarn strung over the kitchen floor and a very curious little boy who can't keep his hands off anything... ha ha.]

I like this picture too, you can't see all the letters but I LOVE the faces! 

We had a low key fairly lazy day.  Matt is actually out working this evening and the kids are snoozing, so it's a quiet house.  This Friday afternoon I leave for a THREE day weekend visit with some friends in another city so I'm sure the week will go quick!
