sunny side up: cookies and canvas

daryl finally came home from chicago friday afternoon, and boy were we glad to see him! it had been an exhausting week, so we went out to supper at la fiesta! yum!

after that colby convinced daryl to go to gamestop to get a pokemon game for his dsi. i don't do gamestop, so i sat in the car trying to figure out why my phone suddenly needed a password to check voicemail! ugh.

somehow i managed to capture an image of my screen while i was doing that, and i'm so glad i did. when i woke up saturday morning i realized i hadn't taken a photo of the day for friday! gasp! it wasn't until a few days ago that i discovered this picture on my phone! woo hoo!

saturday afternoon i went to a class at church called cookies and canvas. i had been looking forward to this class since the day i signed up for it! (i felt like a little kid watching the clock all day wondering if 3:00 would ever get here!)

cookies and canvas was a painting class with cookies for snacking. clever, right? it was so fun! i've always wished i could paint like that dude on pbs with the big 'fro who has the calm voice. he makes painting look so easy. in just 30 minutes he has a gorgeous landscape!

we didn't paint landscapes. we painted flowers. it was amazing to see how everyone's painting turned out. the ladies i sat with made amazing pictures! i was definitely not as talented as they were. i also discovered that i'm a slow painter. it takes me a while to get an idea, and then i have to practice on paper before i ever touch the canvas. needless to say i didn't get finished with my painting. but when i do finish, i will post a picture of my masterpiece!

the gifted table...i sat at the wrong place!

our amazing and patient teacher!

after supper that night the boys and i went exploring at the non-developed part of our neighborhood. it was getting late, so we didn't stay long. i didn't take many pictures, but the sky was gorgeous! god is the ultimate artist!
