Lots of Reasons to be Happy

Last night my little niece Leah came over with her mom and her grandma, and her great grandmas to paint pottery with some ladies from the church. But she didn't have any interest in painting pottery, she wanted to be with her uncle instead. So Leah and Adam hung out together and played golf on xbox and watched the Pistons game. (Adam had a little help from the grandmas when she finally got board of her chair.) She is so cute in her chair, I had to try really hard not to laugh while I was recording this video.

The rest of us had a good time painting pottery. It was a lot of fun to have people over. With all the remodeling we've been doing we haven't been able to have people over (except family, they never shun a messy house.) Speaking of a messy house, I had an awesome surprise when I got home from work tonight. My mother-in-law has a key to my house...that could be a bad thing for some, but for me it means surprise house cleanings, homemade meals and clean laundry. All the laundry on the spare bed that I have been avoiding was folded and put into laundry baskets. All the beds were made, even mine and all the stuff I had left on the floor was put away. And when I got home from work yesterday, she had been to the pottery store and stocked my shelves so full of paint, it looked like I was running a store out of my house. Before I was married, I was under the impression that mother-in-laws were a bad thing, I guess I got lucky.

We have a really great group of ladies at our church. We had one person in particular who was especially entertaining... thanks to Jackie we all had several good laughs. And thanks to Dawn and again my mother-in-law we had lots of help prepping green ware/bisque. We will have to do this again sooner than later.
