    Fun with the kids

    Todays Mood(s): Tired, calm, relaxed
     
    It is cold and wet here today, so i'm just planning on curling up on the couch with the girls and watching movies all day. Having snacks while doing so, and just enjoying some time together. Tori and I already started by watching You've Got Mail together before Miss Elizabeth woke up. It's been raining here for days actually, and i'm hoping the weather on Monday will be nice. I have to take Miss Elizabeth and Patrick to the ACH for Patrick to have another RSV shot. He was supposed to be done with the last one he had, but they called me yesterday saying that the season was running long this year and they want him to come in for another. A few weeks ago, the kids and I went out on a family event with Lasting Impressions. It's a program that is run for families where one or more family members struggle with mental illness. They hold events for the families to be able to get out and socialize and meet other people, and they also have family mentors who work with your family finding ways to better understand and work with their mental illnesses. I love it! It has been such a great help for me, and the kids and John have come to understand so much more. So for this event, we went to a place called Fire Escape. It is a place you go to and you pick a ceramic item, paint it however you desire. They provide all the supplies, and instructions on how to paint it for those who have never done it before. When you are finished it, you leave it there and they clear glaze and fire it in the kiln for you. Then a few days later you can go pick it up. The group painted tiles and we finally got ours back. Here are our creations:

    This one is Camerons. He wants to go back and paint two more making it a set of three. One with a red background and black and white lines, and another with the white background with red and black lines.

    This is the one Tori did. She gave it to me and it even has a title, it's called "The Mom"

    This one is the one Miss Elizabeth made. She had me put her name on it.

    Last is mine. Four hearts joined together to show unity, and a pair of baby feet. It's supposed to represent my four children.

     

    Anyways, i'm off for now to go watch some more movies with my girls.
