.Happy Fathers Day.

Starting on Friday Silas and I tried to do a little arts and crafts project for Quinn's first fathers day. My initial plan was to make a mold of Silas' hands using a recipe that I have where you mix boiling salt water and flour together to make the "clay" then you press your hands into the "clay" and bake for 3 hours. Yeah, that did NOT work at all. First Silas would press his hands into it but then he would grasp the "clay" and mess up the mold of his hand. Once I finally got a somewhat good mold going and baked the dern thing for 3 hours, it did not turn out right at all. I was so upset! So then I went to the wonderful Wally-World and got a hand mold kit. Same thing. Every time I put his hands into the mixture he would start grabbing at it rather than just leaving his hand flat and making the hand print. After re-doing the hand dipping process like five times the plaster dried up and the kit was done-so :(. By this time I was getting PISSED! So I went to Wally-World, AGAIN, and got yet another kit but this time I was smart enough not to do Silas' hands. We did his feet!!! Much better idea with a 2 month old. Although the finished project did not look that great because Silas was wiggling it is still the thought that counts I suppose.
