Today we went to one of those places where you pick out a piece of pottery and then paint it with glaze, leave it and then they fire it for you. How FUN. Loved it.
I've only seen those places on A Baby Story, where the little families go and look all yuppie-ish and calm and patient as the toddlers handle breakable items on camera. I'd never go to a place like that if I were being taped for a television show, but otherwise, it was cool. And no one recorded how many times I said, "BE CAREFUL!!"
My favorite part was when Ethan-6yr looked up from painting his dinosaur figurine and proudly announced, "Mine has a red mouth!" We all look and nod and appreciate the red mouth. Then he adds, "It just ate a BLOODY meal!"
Well, yes. We ARE classy and we like our art to be realistic and all.

Kids sure can call it like they see it, can't they? Like on Thursday night, when I told Sweet Girl that daycare was closed on Friday, so she would spend the day with me. "And we'll go have lunch with daddy. Doesn't that sound nice?!?" I enthused. "No," said she with a straight face, "I don't want to go have lunch with daddy. I want to stay with you. I want daddy to stay at work and keep busy all day". At that point, we were wondering if her daddy's boss was bribing her...
tee hee
Now this brings back memories. As a kid my older sister and my mom took me every Saturday to a ceramic shop to paint and have fun. Between the three of us we must have painted nearly a hundred peices. I stil have many pieces from each of us, including a set of Christmas ornaments, one for each family member with their names. I loved it.
Thanks for bringing back a great memory. I wish the place was still around.
That's funny, I too have only seen it on A Baby Story. If I see you on there in the background, I'll call ya.

Hello! I discovered your blog in looking for some Christian mommies out there, and it's great!
I love how you said that before this you'd only seen those pottery places on A Baby Story, where everything is all perfect and tidy lol! A Baby Story is the only place that I've seen them---maybe I'll have to try one sometime, since you said it was fun!









Realism rocks! Lots of blood 'cause it probably ate the entire thing - like, a big thing - a triceratops or something. And it ate the WHOLE thing, guts and boogers and everything. 'Cause it was hone-gry!
Ethan-6yr knows about stuff like this because 6yr boys are total dinosaur experts.
