Today is Father's Day. We've been celebrating since Thursday and our trip to the Aquarium. Yesterday we had a family outing to the Farmer's Market, lunch, and a little shopping. Today we're having a quiet family day at home.
Since Daddy's gift was more performance in nature, the only thing we had to give him today was a card. Since we're still a year or two away from the twins being able to write their names, I've come up with another way for them to "sign" cards. Since they were just babies, I've been tracing their hand prints into cards for birthdays, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, etc.
They're actually pretty cooperative with this process. I normally do it when they're in their high chairs so they can't move around too much and we have a good flat surface.
For those who keep cards, they are not only keepsakes but also a record of how the kids have grown. Needless to say this usually gets the best feedback from grandmothers.
The hand prints are getting larger! I'll have to begin figuring out what to do when I run out of space!
