Painting Pottery

This past Monday we had the day "free". I woke up and decided I was going to try to come up with something fun and "constructive" to do at the same time. Finally I thought that we call some friends of ours and ask her to meet us at the "paint-your-own-pottery" store. I decided that the girls would have fun and at the same time we could make a few Christmas presents!

So, we headed out. Anne Marie cracked me up because she picked her outfit out that day. She picked out most of it to match quite well, but then she wanted to wear this beach hat she had. It's hard to see in the picture but it's green with white dots & a pink bow...made me laugh.

Of course she had fun -- she was a little impatient as she waited for me to do the "hard work" on the pottery pieces, but she still had fun. And of course, I can't show anything that we did, because we wouldn't want to spoil the surprises before Christmas -- but believe me -- it's too cute!!

Anne Marie all dressed up and ready to go.
