9month old and Paint = messy father's day gift

Matt's getting the new iphone which counts as his father's day gift.

but that doesn't come out til the 24th so in the mean time Madison made daddy a little something to have the day of..

Since this is Matt's first father's day i thought it would be a cute idea to make him a keepsake box to keep all the cards and little gifts Madison will be making him over the years.

I decorated the top of with paper letters and one of my favorite pictures of the two of them, then I let Madison do the sides of the box.

I bought some non toxic finger paints and took her into the bathroom. It got a little crazy, that's for sure. the both of us were covered in paint.. as well as my bathroom mat and tub... but it was well worth it.

surprisingly it wasn't that difficult to get her to paint on the box at all. In fact she did most of this herself, but when she had finished with the box, it was hard to get her not to paint the tub and eat her fingers. Thank goodness for non toxic completely washable crayola paint.

and tada!! :)
