Paint by Numbers

So, I mentioned in my last post that Mikey and I recently shared an anniversary.  I am somewhat ashamed to admit that after Mikey's romantic suprise list for me, my gift to him was a bit more juvenile (but maybe that fits??)

I created a scavenger hunt, where Mikey had to follow clues throughout the house to gather up lots of little silly presents.  He was one of the worst clue-decipherers I have ever seen.  My clues were very easy, but he kept wanting me to confirm everything before he would go look.  That's why it's a scavenger HUNT...because you are supposed to HUNT for the items, not ask the person who hid them.  I stayed tight-lipped and made him do most of the work.

One of my favorite gifts was a "Paint by Numbers" activity that I had to force him to do...but then he admitted that it was actually fun.  Here are some pics of Michelangelo and me....  :)


Getting started...

Seriously concentrating...we didn't make a sound for about half an hour!

Voila!  Beautiful, right? Ha!

Ta-da!

I realize this might look silly, but it was so fun.  Try it!
