Painting

North loves to paint. And I love the paint your own pottery places. And so recently Alan had the brilliant suggestion that the 3 of us head to a paint your own pottery place near our house--it was such fun for all of us and we got two great (although admittedly a bit ugly) new bowls. North painted the insides of each bowl all by himself and helped us with the outsides.

Of course there were times when it was necessary that North convert his paintbrush to a lightsaber. Thankfully the paint was all washable.

Our finished products waiting to go into the kiln.





Afterword painting we went to a movie--North loves the 3d glasses and so we never are able to recycle his--he's building a collection and has started insisting on wearing one set OVER another set of glasses.
Unrelated but on our photos from that day, North has also started combining his 2 great loves--Tron and Star Wars-- by insisting that Sam Flynn and Rinzler ride in starships and Star Wars guys ride on lightcycles or motorcycles. Admittedly, Darth Vader does look quite appropriate on his little black bike.
