We like to paint in this house. Mostly Eve and I like to paint, but Lex gets involved sometimes too. Recently for a girls night out, some friends and I went to a pottery studio and painted. I made this birthday plate and a little pink bunny.

Yes, I know it looks like a child’s work, but really it was all me! I’ve always wanted a family birthday plate. :) Lucky for me MY birthday comes next!

When you finish painting you leave your piece there and they put the glaze on and then fire it in the kiln. A week later they call and you go pick it up. When I went to pick them up the kids were SO excited and talked me in to staying to let them paint too. Actually it is something I’ve always wanted to do with them. The timing wasn’t the best, but we stayed and had a pretty good time. Eve painted a unicorn, Lex picked a heart shaped box, and I did a cool tea mug! I’ll post pictures next week when we pick them up.

Hard at work, painting unicorns and heart shaped boxes.

The kids have already decided what they want to paint next, when we go back to pick up these pieces, but the place isn’t cheap so things may “happen” such that I pick up our finished pieces without them! School is starting soon, right? ;)
