Do-Over....Part 2

I've been wanting to do something for Danner to redo his Father's Day gifts that he lost along with his wallet. I know that he's really into air soft stuff so I got him a plastic tote and filled it with container of 5000 air soft bee bees, a pair of safety glasses, a big bottle of Gatorade, a variety pack of sandwich crackers, a pack of camo band aid, a canister of bug spray, a pair of flip flops, a wallet to replace his stolen one, and of course a card with Allison's hand print of six fingers (see pic. below) ;-). I know these aren't very much but we are on a budget so we have to be creative with our gifts instead of the old days when we both worked full time with good jobs and can afford to give more lavishly. While I was picking out these items, the Lord gave me an idea of putting descriptions on each item and read them out to Danner as he opened take them out one by one. I even made sure the tote I gave him can perfectly contain the bee bees, glasses, and safety kit inside of them!! Go me! My creative juice is coming out slowly. He was really thankful for the gifts and even kept the descriptions inside the tote to serve as his reminders. :-) Allison was very happy that she got to prolong her bed time a little bit to watch him open his gifts from us.


Getting cleaned up after finger painting!!


The result! Allison has an invisable finger

(only shows up on paint and cardstock!)


A little of everything for Daddy

Helping Daddy checking out his goodies


Here's what I came up with while thinking about what to get Danner. They're so cheesy but he liked it :-)

-The wallet represents how giving you are to all those around you

-The bee bees are to remind you of how quick you are to help others

-The safety glasses are to fix your eyes on the Father and not the standard of this world

-The flip flops are to guide your feet toward the purpose the Father had made just for you

-The band aids are to remind you to let the Father fixes your boo boos

-The bug spray to remind you to pray away the enemy

- The cheese crackers are for nourishment and remind you of your daily bread from the Lord

-The Gatorade reminds you to allow the Father to refill your cup daily

Then comes the confession: after getting all the items looked over, Danner realized I bought him women flip flops!!! Oops, sorry honey! He returned for something better. :-) It all worked out and fun was had by all!!
