Apparently I set the bar too high for myself when I started working with him, because now it is pretty much expected and sometimes (grandparent's birthdays) even requested.
This year, Little Man made his mom a card/book that was inspired by something I saw on pinterest. (And let me tell you... even that wasn't much help. Practically everything I saw on there we have already done!)
For Mother's Day 3 years ago, I had Little Man answer some questions about his mom. Then I typed it up, put it on nice scrapbook paper, and covered it with contact paper. This year we recreated that. I thought it would be fun to see how his answers had changed over time.
(I know you can't read it... that was sort of the point. I am just showing what it looked like.)
It turns out that both K and G have a birthday in May. G's was the day before Mother's Day, so we went ahead and made him a gift too.
I bought a cheap frame at Jo Ann's and Little Man painted it green. Then he (sort of) covered it in washers. I saw something like this a long time ago--I'm not even sure where--and it stuck in my head as an idea to use. I think the original piece that I saw was completely covered in washers, but I thought our rendition turned out pretty cute.
Sorry about the photo quality. I decided that I should take pictures for my blog literally as I was wrapping them and walking out the door to pick Little Man up from school. You can still get the idea though.
