Birthday Banner Fun


My Grandpa is turning 87 on July 22nd!  All of us family members are going to send birthday cards, so that he has dozens upon dozens of birthday greetings in his mailbox come 7/22. So for our family alone, we will each send a card out = four cards just from us. We all think he will get a big kick out of this gesture and have a lot of fun reading these cards!
 
I thought it would be fun to make a big birthday banner with Quinn (while Jack napped). We got out finger paints and markers and went to town. It was a lot of fun. It was especially fun when Quinn walked right into a big glob of wet paint, didn't realize it, and ran into his room to get more 'supplies.'
 
Right as we were finishing taping up the banner, Jack woke up. I thought it was be the best idea to just quickly get my photo (so we can mail it, along with a birthday card.)  If we waited too long to get the photo, I could see the banner being ripped down by some innocent looking little boy.  Jack was not digging it. Quinn was pretending to be superman, and for some reason, superman was way too busy flying around to stop for ten seconds.  The last one if FAR from being perfect, but it's the 'best' one out of the bunch!  That's a winner in my book. Happy Birthday, Grandpa Shepard!
