Color Me Mine!

We kind of had a day out today! We went to the mall and I have totally fallen in love with the tree house play area for kids. Abby LOVES it! She runs and really enjoys watching all the kids. Its a great FREE place indoors for her to play until it warms up enough for outdoor playgrounds. Then we went to Color Me Mine and attempted to paint a few pieces of pottery. I thought it would be something that Abby could "help" with, but it quickly turned into a disaster. Abby was tired and cranky, and I totally bit off more than I could chew. I was trying to entertain and keep Abby under control at the same time, painting. I finally put her in her stroller and strapped her in so we could get stuff done and not have to worry about Abby breaking something. Cameron painted a mug and I painted a plate for Abby to put her hand print on, which I think turned out really cute. When I finally finished and moved onto MY piece, Abby's patience had really run thin (so had mine), so I quickly painted something and we packed up and left. Although we pushed Abby to her limits, it was a fun day that we spent as a family.
