Happy birthday Daddy!

Brent's birthday was this past week.  The kids and I decided that he needed a big, neon sign to welcome him home.  Peter picked out the color because he knows that green is Daddy's favorite.  :)

The boys painted popsicle  sticks and I glued them to the sign before we colored it with crayons.  They had a lot of fun getting things all ready for their Daddy.  They also painted pictures with water colors.

 For his present from me, I made a free-floating Scrabble board.  If you know the Osterbergs, you know how much we loved Scrabble and how we fancy ourselves to be wordsmiths.  So this project was perfect for our bedroom. I painted and distressed an old goodwill picture frame, decopodged a pieced of sheet metal with old dictionary pages and put magnets of the back of Scrabble tiles.  The big white tile has a B and a K on it so we can flip it to know who's turn it is.  :)

 Brent chose to eat at Chuy's for his dinner and we walked across the street to the park afterward.

 Brent said that one of his birthday wishes was to run across the grass as fast as he could while being barefoot.  :)  Wish granted.

 Back home for birthday brownies....

 ..and blowing out candles.

I think the birthday boy was pleased.
