I signed my older daughter up for a half-day camp this week about a month ago. It is at a fabulous place called The Enchanted Learning Center run by a mom that used to be a teacher but is now homeschooling her three children. When I got there she met daughter #2 and said - as long as she was potty trained - that she could stay too. It was a day for art and classical music. You bet your bottom dollar I reached into my purse and grabbed some cash before she could change her mind.
I actually got some time alone to do a few things. Not many, but enough to enjoy a cup of coffee and sort through some of the mundane stuff in life - like bills. What I really wanted to do was stop by a local quilt shop to buy thread. It will be closed all week. They're all at some show in Philadelphia. Oh well. Maybe I can find a different fabric shop tomorrow.
The girls painted and got to create with clay. The clay did start off colored - but it was played with so much that it became gray and brown. Lucy made a mommy snail with a bunch of babies. And, just after I snapped this photo, it was changed into a bird's nest for one of her toys.
Simple pleasures are always the best.

Beth-That is absolutely precious! It's a good thing you took a picture before it was transformed into the bird's nest. Although, I bet that was cute, too!
It's nice to have some time for yourself, huh?:-) Lori
The clay snails are precious and how creative. I love playdough and clay it's so relaxing to play with it! So cute! I love snails! If only I could figure out how to do a snail softie.
I love all the baby snails on the mommy snail!! I have definitely felt like that somedays, kids all over me! So cute and a great day for the girls, I bet.

That place looks neat, and it actually isn't far from us - but I've never heard of it before. I wonder what other cool kid things are lurking in the area! :)
