I haven't had much time to blog but I thought I would show you what we have been up to. Lots of pictures. Oct 31 I took four of the kids to a local home whose family is doing pottery classes for the homeschooling community here. Mr and Mrs Currado here it their web page. This is what we did. While DD2 wrote out name tags Mr. Currado wrote on the board. God is the______ We are the______. We had a lesson on waking up clay and what can happen to it. How God shapes us. We made coil and pinch pots.Turns out that DD1 goes to Varsity Awana with their son and an other of their sons is the director for Varsity.(DD1 volunteered to stay at home and babysit DS2)This is what they completed when our class was over.We went back the next week to see if our stuff had made it through the first firing. All made it through so then they glazed their projects. Here we are recieving instrution on the colors.I will be picking up the finished product sometime this week. I have sceduled a new class for later in the month.

I finished 5 pairs of mittens. DD2 needed hers modified for PE class so she can still grab the ball. DD1 wants a modified pair as well.Here is the Breast Cancer Ribbon scraf I made for my mom for Christmas. I don't think she looks at this blog so I think I am save to post it. If not oh well mom you know what one of your gifts are. lolDS2 needed a new pair of shoes because he had out grown the pair I had made him last Christmas. I had made them too big so he didn't fit them till this summer and wore them constantly but he needed a new pari. DD4 wanted a pair too. Hers are too big for her now but hopefuly they will fit soon. I found DS1 taking a nap with his truckDog ran up to the front door, pushing carpet up and then proceeded to take her nap.
