but I give DH an A for trying.
He told the boys he had a project for them. So, after dinner, he took them in the basement and a short while later, I could hear him saying, "Stop it, Max", "Stop!", "Get over here", "Leave that alone" and "Damnit!", among other things. Then the boys came up with dirty feet and my DH was covered from the waist down in plaster. It looked like he rolled in cement.
The poor thing tried to make me a stepping stone for my garden. It all ended up in the garbage, but at least he tried and the laugh it gave me is all I need! I was cracking up listening to what I was hearing go on in the basement. I wish I could have watched too!
Re: My Mother's Day gift is a big fail :)
DH was SOL too. I have a pandora bracelet and have one of the books with beads circled that I like. He told me this afternoon. I tore about the house looking for that book-I couldn't find it anywhere. So needless to say-I will probably go with him tomorrow and pick out my own beads!
It was pretty funny. He doesn't really have the patiebce for that type of thing to even attempt it. Everytime we try to do something like that with the kids, we end up yelling at them and eachother, which is kind of funny since we're trying to do something kind and memorable.
Did you look online? I have a Pandora bracelet too and I've looked online at their beads.
Have a great Mother's Day!
Oh, I got it now!
That was very sweet of him to try to do that.
See, sometimes it doesn't matter what the gift is or what the outcome is, as long as the effort and thought is there!
