Spontaneous Painting

A few days ago Chance and I were looking for something to do. We had been stuck in the house for the last couple days because Chance wasn't feeling well but it was so cold. Just then a local company Chez Clay posted a but one get one free sale on their Facebook page.

We have been there a couple times and it was fun both times so it seemed like the perfect thing to do on this chilly day.

Chance picked out this little car and I painted the little vase. We had a good time painting, it was so nice to do something spontaneous for a change. We will be picking up our fired pieces on the 21st. Chance's birthday!

Birthday sleepover

When I asked Chance what he wanted to do for his birthday this year he said he didn't want a big party with lots of people. He just wanted one friend, Emory to have a sleepover. So that's what we did.

This picture was taken during the only 15 minutes they were sitting still all evening. We stated a movie but I think they really only sat on the couch to drink their juice boxes because soon after they were playing with Legos and hexbugs once again.

They were up EARLY the next morning so after more playing and breakfast we went bowling.  It didn't take the boys long to decide to team up against me and in a kids vs me matchup they won everytime.

 I'm good but I'm not that good. That's rounds 1,2 & 3 in order. Chance broke 100 in round 2, there were bumpers but still.

This last picture is of the boys playing Weeping Angel tag, yes they watched a bit of Doctor Who.

Lafayette the fish

We seem to be able to keep a betta fish alive for 2 months. We are learning though, this time we got a heater to go with our new betta. 

Since we had a blue and a red bettas before we went with purple this time. He is very pretty and with the heater he seems very happy swimming around with his tail and fins on display even on the coldest days.

I took these pictures right when we brought him home before he went in his heated bowl.
