Mudshack

Grandma Joan came to visit this week which has been a great relief and help to me! We took the kids to Mudshack today which is a cute little paint your own pottery place here in town. The kids each picked out a piece of pottery and all the colors they wanted. Oh what a difference in their styles. Amelia picked the tiniest little brush and barely dipped it in the paint. We thought, oh boy, this is going to take hours for her to paint. Luke found the biggest brush he could and went to town on his dinosaur. He piled on the paint 20 layers deep. It was a fun afternoon.

We've been watching a lot of the Olympics lately, the kids especially love the diving and the gymnastics. Luke loves to "dive" off the couch backwards. He balances backwards on his toes and then jumps off and says, "Hooray, no splash!" One of the nights we turned on the Olympics and it was the very beginning of the broadcast. They were scanning over parts of China with just music playing and Amelia says, "Hey mom that's the Great Wall of China." I said, "How did you know that Amelia?" She said, " That's where Mulan lives." Oh well, now I don't feel bad I let them watch Walt Disney movies, look how educational they are :)
