Lessons from Grandma Charlotte

Grandma Charlotte is an incredible decorator of pottery, and has spent many years perfecting her technique. She is famous for her birds, and does beautiful flowers as well. Now that the kids are older she has begun to teach and help them get involved in the process. The plates above are the girls first attempt with designing and painting, and to the right is Jacob's first rocket bowl (which he eats out of at every opportunity). Charlotte was very brave on this trip, and let all the kids work together. They take it very seriously and are very confident in their abilities already (thanks to Charlotte's continual praise and encouragement).
(Don't mind the face paint, just the residue of a great time painting their own faces)
This was Brooke's first go at it, and she too is very fond of her bowl. Thank goodness she has one, or we would have a serious dilemma on our hands every morning when all the kids get out "their" dish.
