St. Patrick’s Day!!!
Connie sent me a pic of her Alfie. SO I knew it would be a great day.
I had a plan for us to go to As You Wish to paint. Upon Tatum telling me she wants to be a Marine Biologist when she grows up. Along with being a teacher, a mom, and a wife…she will have her hands full! Well, she drew these, and I knew she wasn’t kidding. The mako shark and green turtle. Now on her wall.
Well, we’d take her talents a bit further. She’d paint! I love this escape palace. Honestly, I’ve been coming here for 20 years, and each time, I lose myself in the work, and the time just flies by.
She worked on her shark for a long time.
I am used to her grabbing a dog, pig, bunny..some type of ceramic creature, putting a few paint strokes on it and calling it a day. Again, the Tot shocked me. She took her sweet detailed time!
And WOOOOOWZIE! It’s so cool, and it hasn’t even been kilned yet. She got the colors correct, carefully starting with pencil. I was so impressed. I wanted to do something inspiring and symbolic.
We’ll see how it turns out…The long winding road toward light. The Lord is My Light (Psalm 27:1) is what I wrote.
I used about 15 colors…and I wanted to spend another hour on it. But…alas we had to go to an appointment. Tatum’s Ortho. NOOOOOOO!
But, it ended up being a good thing since she needs to get her bite normalized. She is determined to wear her rubber bands around the clock.
Coopy ended our day as usual.
Tomorrow, will be part 3, and much more adventure awaits.
