After working three days, I finally had Friday off to spend with the kids.  We had made plans to watch the Lego Batman movie and to meet up with Michelle, Mckayla and Marcus afterward at Color Me Mine.  All three of us enjoyed the Lego Batman; both of the boys looked sad when they were about to lose Batman toward the end of the movie and Connor was wiping his face off the tears too.  When we came out of the theater, Logan finally allowed me to take a picture of him in front of the movie’s, Logan, poster.  On our drive over to Saratoga, I had the boys eaten a small lunch despite all the popcorn we had earlier. 

     We arrived at the ceramic place and started choosing a piece when Michelle, Mckayla and Marcus joined us.  It was tough for all of us to make a final decision on a piece, and both Logan and Connor both ended up getting a pencil holder of some sort.  Once we returned to the table, all four kids did not seem to have any trouble finding the colors or deciding how they wanted to paint; on the other end, Michelle and I had more difficult time choosing what we wanted to do.  The kids jumped right in and started painting, and all of them were quite content.  Mckayla had more experience at the studio, so she was giving Connor advice and getting him a turn table to help.  I reminded the boys to do second coat to ensure more even painting; Logan basically did that on his own while I helped Connor with the edges to make sure he did not mess up his previous colors.  At the end, I helped Logan painting in the small parts, Snoopy’s goggle and his initials, under Logan’s supervision, and I also helped fixing an area for Connor’s and adding in the eyes.  Then the kids were all finished and were having a snack so Michelle and I could finish our pieces.  I think we must have been at the studio for close to 2 hours.  Once we were outside, the kids were happy to run around at the sidewalk.  Michelle and I were watching them playing this game where they had to straddle when they lost to Rock Paper Scissor.  It was funny as I had never seen Logan and Connor straddle down that low.  After some time, we said goodbye to our friends and went home to see daddy.  It was a fun day and we definitely can’t wait to pick up our pieces in one week.
