So we did one of those clay hand print kits for H's grandmother. All of the great-grandkids did them for her birthday. I thought H was in charge and didn't realize it takes 3 days for it to try before you can paint it, which I think was the plan for everyone. We did them this morning but we only have until Saturday morning so two days... Some of the reviews said it took theirs 5 days to dry. UGH. Is there a way to speed up the drying? I also don't want to risk it cracking and I don't know if drying it faster might lead to that.

You may still get cracking though. here are some alternatives. www.ehow.com/how_5142129_make-airdry-clay-dry-faster.html

Hello hello! I used to be active way back when, have mostly lurked since as I went back to work and got so busy!
I have a March 16 boy and a August 18 girl.
I will try to actually log in more to participate instead of creep in the bushes!
I recognize a few of the names here from my BMB.

Hi, just poking in here after seeing the invite from sheilathetank. I have an almost 4 year old DD (July 15), a 1 year old DD (Dec 17) and am pregnant with DD3 due 11/8. I work full time behind a desk so am pretty much always on at least reading posts!

Finally heard from the cardiologist for DD. The earliest appointment they have is at the end of August. Since it's at the Children's hospital in the city, I took a morning appointment and am planning on taking the day off and taking DD to the children's museum afterwards. Hopefully we can turn something semi scary (for me at least) into a fun family day.

Hello! How have you been?! Our BMB died and then I went back to work and had another baby, and kind of stopped logging in. I didnβt know about this board!

I hope it ends up being nothing concerning with your DD

Hey. I'm trying to jump back in. This pregnancy is kicking my ass. I feel so behind on everything. The mounds of laundry are piling up. What I really need is my mother to visit to help fold and put it all away.

Hello! How have you been?! Our BMB died and then I went back to work and had another baby, and kind of stopped logging in. I didnβt know about this board! I completely missed that you had another kid in your intro post. Congratulations! I never go on the FB page. I tried several times, but I loathe FB, so I never stay. Plus all my free time is spent on here anyways. I've been good. Trying to survive the 3s which I don't like at all. 2 was much more fun.

What are everyone's plans for father's day?
Last year I made this crazy scrapbook thingy of all pictures of DD and Mh. It used a real board book about dad's and their kids doing stuff, and you replace all the pics with pics of your own. It came out so awesome. But I blew my load on that because this year I have nothing. lol

He loves working out in the yard and has it decorated so nicely so I thought he might be into it. I usually do something crafty from the kids but got nothing right now.

I need to take new pictures of DD with the "Papa" letters I bought last year. Then I'll replace the photo in his frame on his desk, and add the old one to an album. I'm running out of days for that, but thank goodness for instant photo printing. Other than that, I have no idea. He took me to the mall to pick out my own purse for Mother's Day, so I honestly haven't given it much thought. Plus our anniversary is next week too (which in hindsight was piss poor planning by myself for future gift giving).

This is the blog post I followed for the idea. It was a lot more effort then I had anticipated because I had to edit and get all the photos as squares. Eta: it would be helpful to include the actual blog post yellowfence.blogspot.com/2008/06/make-something-monday-fathers-day-gift.html?m=1

But since I'm only a little bit petty I also got him a box of his favorite teas. He also won't be home on Father's Day (works offshore)...

DH just got the new HP Vans and asked for that to be his gift. Sounds good to me! I got him a card from the kids and Iβm sure DS will make something cute at school.
