I’ve never been to Clay Your Way until the end of April. I decided the kids and I would check it out and make some Mother’s Day gifts for my mom and Lane’s mom. We went the Saturday before Mother’s day so it was a little busy. I knew before we went in that I wanted to do flower pots. Both my mom and my mother-in-law like flowers so I thought it would be a fun gift idea. I gave MaKena strict instructions to not touch anything when we got inside. We found a table and I told her and Jacob to stay put! I really didn’t want them to break anything! Once I found the pots the girl working gave us some directions and on our way we went. It was a lot of fun. MaKena and I worked on one pot while Jacob worked on the other. About a half hour into the project MaKena started to lose interest. Before I knew it she has managed to mix the paint together on the plate and had about 10 different paint brushes in the water. I guess she was finding her own fun! Once we got the pots painted we stamped the kids hands on them and finished them up. Jacob was really into decorating the pots. I think I’ll have to take him back to make something else without his sister!! MaKena was not happy when we couldn’t take the pots with us. I tried to explain to her that they had to cook them before we could take them home. She was proud of her work and wanted to show it off!!
