Color Me Mine

While Pop and Nana visited this week for Ben's school show, we decided to take the kids to Color Me Mine the next day to paint some pottery. Ben had been here once before - when he was about Nate's age - so it was fun to visit it again and have two little artistes this time.

So, in going with their stereotypes, Ben chose a Mater pickup truck bank (our truck lover) and Nate chose a soccer ball bank (our jock :)). At least their pottery will match each of their rooms perfectly, right?

What fun they had....and they were both so serious about making their creations perfect. Ben put about 37 coats of red and orange paint on his Mater pottery to make it look like Mater from the Cars movie. Nate painted each area of his soccer ball to perfection :). We will be going back in about a week to pick up our pieces, after they are fired and sealed. The boys can't wait to see them and put them in their rooms!
