Kindergarten Picture

I am in love with everything about our new school, but the one public school standby I can not live without is the school picture. I'm determined to take a school picture of him every September, or October. Here's how this year turned out.

October Crafternoon Painting Ceramics

This month we ventured out of my dining room for the first time and headed to a ceramics store. All of our painters carefully searched the store for just the right item to paint. And for some, one item wasn't enough.



When I walked into the store the place was packed. Every table was filled with friends and family painting away. A bit of a panic set in when I realized that I had invited 12 people to paint with me and there was no place for us to sit. I spoke to the staff and it so happened they were just cleaning up a party in the party room and we could slip right in there when they were done. No one was the wiser. It was the perfect space for our crafternoon.



After about an hour the kids started to go a little stir crazy. We had some cookies to hold them off for a little bit, but those quickly disappeared. Having antsy kids in a store filled with breakables is a dangerous situation. Fortunately there was a small park right next store. While some of our crafters stayed behind to finish their projects the rest of us made our way to the music park where some much needed running around was enjoyed by all.



One of the highlights of our October Crafternoon was our newest crafter, Sophia. Welcome to the world Sophia!
