Today is our Family Fun Day, we were going to do Wednesday nights, than we all got sick & the schedule was a little hectic, so we just kind of wing it when we can, but, we do it once a week. So today we were up & out of the house by 8:30AM & we went & had our pics taken by my friend Bobbi, she was in town with her family so I definately wanted to take advantage & get our family pics done again, this is the 3rd time she has taken our pics, she is awesome, so fun & I like that she knows our family & that the kid’s know her & feel comfortable with her, she is so fun & it was so good to see her…miss ya Bobbi! I can’t wait to see the pics. Than we were off to The Clayground, we got there when it opened & we couldn’t get in because you need reservations, OK, crap, I drove all the way out there & I can’t get in, so we looked around & made a reservation for tomorrow, than I searched around & found a place thru our Entertainment Coupon Book called Color Me Mine in the NW, it use to be called something else, so we got there & it’s much bigger than The Clayground & a bit cheaper but, it had a studio fee, I thought I would be able to use my coupon since it is quite expensive, but, I found out I couldn’t after the fact since it has changed names / owners I guess, so my son & daughter were the artists & me & hubby helped them along, my son picked a dino & my daughter picked a turtle piggybank, my son lasted about 10 mins & finished a crazy lookin’ dino & than I stayed with my daughter & helped her, she quite enjoyed it, so in 1 week we can pick them up. My hubby & I have been to the Fire Escape along time ago, so this is only our 2nd time painting clay, it’s really not my thing but, my daughter liked it, can’t say I will be doing it anytime soon because of the cost, my daughter gets to do it in class at school on Monday, I will be volunteering so we will see where teachers are from.
Well I better get my butt in gear now, we are going to watch The Golden Compass & have a sleep over in the living room!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother’s Day tomorrow.

OK, it sounds like fun.. Hannah has done “Doin’ the Dishes” here in the Twin Cities, very much the same. I am NOT allowed to help her, per the staff.. afterall, art is a process, not a product. So we have some cool mugs that she has made, and a few other things too..
It would be “funny” if the class is from the same studio.
How was the movie and sleep over???

That looks like so much fun. Lyndon and I did something like that for a date once.
