Gifts for the grandpa's are e'er tough for me. Men inward full general are e'er harder to buy/make for, in addition to it seems most grandpa's are at the betoken inward their lives where they convey everything they need/want in addition to a lot of what nosotros could laissez passer them are exactly going add together to the clutter. So I seek to mean value of things that are thoughtful in addition to useful.
Pete's dad (and mom) loves to pass fourth dimension inward the yard, hence nosotros decided to brand a stone that could survive position inward the garden. We collected rocks to while out "PAPA ROCKS" (our kids telephone weep upwards him Papa John). Kind of cheesy, I know. In hind sight I may convey exactly had the kids brand a cool pattern alongside the rocks. Oh well.
I used concrete mix (only costs a few bucks) in addition to used a apartment charge per unit of measurement transportation box every bit my mold (because we'll survive transportation it... utter nearly getting your money's worth, this matter is heavy!) I exactly position the box together, sprayed it alongside cooking spray, in addition to hence poured inward the mix. Then I wrote the letters alongside a stick in addition to had the kids house all the piffling rocks.
Once it dried, I painted over the rocks alongside modernistic podge a dyad times to brand them stand upwards out a piffling more. And that's it! I'm crossing my fingers that it tin larn to him without keen :)
