Yes, I braved it today.....I took Gabriela, Isabela & Maya to The Potter's Wheel to paint their own pottery today. Gabriela and I did this a few weeks back and we needed to pick up her finished pony and cross that she painted. She had such a great time and I knew that Isabela & Maya would like it too....so.....I decided to brave it up, take the plunge and enjoy the adventure.
There were a few rules discussed before entering The Potter's Wheel:
1. You must sit in your chair at all times.
2. You cannot touch anything in the store (ceramic and plaster everywhere!!)
3. You can only paint one item.
4. You can only put paint on your item.
5. You cannot put paint on anything else. You cannot paint your face. You cannot paint your hands. You cannot paint your clothes. You cannot paint on anyone else's piece of pottery.
6. You cannot touch anyone else's paint.
7. Repeat at least two times :)
I gave the girls a few options of what they could choose to paint. Gabriela chose a sugar bowl from a tea set so that she could put some of her jewelry in it. Isabela chose a cute blowfish and Maya chose a daisy flower.
They all chose to paint in their favorite colors of pink, purple, yellow and blue.
Maya was so concerned about the painting rules ~ and she should've been, since she's the one who always likes to paint everything but what she should be painting! She's a free spirit for sure. Every now and then, Maya would say ~ "CC, I'm doing really good over here....I listened." Indeed!
The bribery worked and the reward for good behavior was a trip to Chick Fil A for lunch. Just a few snapshots of 2 very sweet but silly girls...
Yet another fun filled day with the girls; yet another wonderful memory made.
