He plays guitar... Awesomely!!

(Note: "Awesomely" isn't a word, I know.. but it's the only thing that works in this situation) :-)



Is it wrong to be a little proud??

"Color Me Mine" - Homeschool Art Day

Have I mentioned that I love homeschooling? Nathan was completely stoked today when I told him in lieu of regular studies (booorrring), we would be having a special Art day (wayyyy fuuunnn!!)!!! We don't get the chance to do really creative art very much.. Just the random drawing project, decorating a cake or cookies, shading and color studies, etc... But not alot of REALLY fun stuff that I desire w/homeschooling! We do model cars.. forgot about that! I just try to use the things he enjoys and play on his creativity!

So I had been thinking that I wanted to do a fun day with art soon.. But wasn't sure what exactly! My answer came in my email this morning! I had my daily deal from Groupon, a coupon for $50 worth for $25 at "Color Me Mine"! A great deal!! We were both able to do a project, studio fee and all for the $25!! (I believe I'll be purchasing another one before the end of the day!! We have until October to use them.)

So overall, a great day, great experience!! Here are some pictures!

Nathan did a Hummer:



















And I did a coffee mug for Brian..


















Now we just have to wait for them to put them in the kiln and make them all bright and shiny! We get to pick them up next week! Yea!! We're pretty excited!

Amish Friendship Bread

10 days ago a dear lady at church brought some "starters" for Amish Friendship Bread. Funny thing is, I had just been thinking about this bread and noticing that I don't get a chance to take part in these kinds of things anymore, since I don't work a regular J-O-B. So imagine my excitement when I saw her with these starters!! :-)

So it's finally day 10 and Nathan and I excitedly got the recipe out to create more starters and bake bread.. We followed the traditional vanilla/cinnamon recipe and the batter tasted yummy when we licked the bowl.. So as it bakes we have high hopes!

But in the meantime, I had to reflect on the concept of friendship bread.. Why is it called that?? Other than the fact that you need lots of friends to pass it out to.. Or the starters will die...

My thoughts expand... Wa-la!

You have to cultivate it every day!!

Friendship is a gift... and I never want to take my friends for granted! Love you guys!

Oh and PS... I have some starters if anyone wants some!! :-) (couldn't resist)
