Our typical Friday night lately has consisted of watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Last night we had every intention of returning home from our date night to watch the show, but our artistic side got the better of us... or maybe it was our lack thereof which led to a three hour painting extravaganza!
We went to a craft shop called Color Me Mine where you can paint clay pottery of many shapes and sizes. Amanda painted a plate while I decorated a vase, which was obviously hand selected by Amanda, with the less than subtle hint that something needs to go inside it! Anyway, despite our collective grumblings about a lack of creativity we managed to produce two pieces that we were moderately proud of. Now we have to wait a week before we can pick them up, to allow time for them to fire and glaze them. Soon enough we'll have some decorative pieces to match our blank walls...
At any rate, our outing was very much worth the cost of missing our weekly program. Now I'll have to surprise her with flowers soon... conveniently, her birthday is less than two weeks away :)
