Pottery Works

 
We got up one weekend and decided it was time to try something a little different.  Mommy and Daddy can only play My little Ponies, playdough, or watch Caillou so many times before we pull out hair out so we deciced to take Mya down to the Pottery works here in town.  For those of you that don't know what that is it is a place where you go and you can pick different clay figurines, cups, bowls, or just about anything imaginable and you can paint them.  They keep the pottery and they put it in their kiln and a week later you go and pick up your masterpiece.  Jessica and I have gone and made a couple of bowls.  Here is a picture of what one of the racks looks like.  Mya loves coloring and painting (mostly finger painting) so we knew she would just love this.  Right now being only 2 she doesn't have a long attention span so we didn't go with a bowl or a figurine right now we just went with a letter.  We were going to have her paint the letter M but they were all out of them.  Must be a popular letter.  We then chose the letter D.  We also let her pick out the colors.  She had a blast.  She started with the blue under coat then her and Jess painted flowers and stems on them.  I have also attached a video of her painting.










Here are a few links to some other videos.  You might need to make an account to view them but it is a free account.



Enjoy!!

By the way....Jessica/baby update.  Everything is fine and healthy.  We are desperatly praying that the baby comes soon.  We are all excited to meet the little.....(you get to guess what it is until the baby is born).  :)
