Working on a Special Surprise

Pea Poddery Painting Afternoon

We spent the afternoon at Pea Poddery today. This is a great place to go when you want to work on an activity for a couple of hours. I find that painting pieces of pottery is quite relaxing. Today, we were there on a special mission. I cannot say exactly why we were there or what we made but I will show you a little hint and when everything is fired then I will reveal the final looks of everything we made. Each of us had our own project to work on, the image above was the one that I did. I cannot wait to see what the final color will look like. I tried a few of my own techniques to add certain touches of color but I will have no clue until it is fired.

It began to get warmer so we had a quiet night in and watched some of the last episodes of Andi Mack together. The kids are going to miss that show when it goes off the air.

Andrew is keeping “Summer Brain” at bay by working in a workbook for his grade level and also he’s reading more. I took Andrew with me to my Krav Maga class to watch because his class was right afterwards. He brought along a Summer Reading book and was able to get through several chapters before it was time for his class. I was very impressed with how much he read. He barely wanted to put the book down. I had to make him take his nose out of it as we walked across the parking lot, though. He’s reading a Boxcar Children book.
