Made by Melissa

Today we joined Devin on a trip up to St Pete to visit the St. Petersburg Clay Company who was hosting a arts fair today. The kids got to create some tie-die shirts and some spin-paintings ... oh how kids love paints. Melissa then took part in a Topiary workshop where she got to create a monkey ... one of the hardest projects. Completed with top marks even if it was her first time. Meanwhile, Joe and Owen got to play with some clay on the throwing wheel, play in the garden, and draw some chalk pictures on the sidewalk.

Oh, and ... there were trains there :)

Well ... there we have it. Joe is now four ... 4!!!!! Can you believe that it was four years ago that he looked like ... this. Now he looks like this:

And with the great growing ... comes some great fun. This year Joe requested a spiderman birthday, he wanted a pool party, he picked out the decorations, he picked out the cake, and in he was just so excited for it all. We were really just along for the ride, and what a ride it was - we are still coming down. He does a great spiderman impression by-the-way ... which brings up, we still have no clue where he knows spiderman from. We don't watch the cartoons or movies, have any spiderman toys (until now of course) ... just a pair of PJs, and he knows all about him. Now Owen is into spinning spider webs too ... oh the fun those two have.

Be sure to check out some of the pictures from party.

Happy 4th Birthday Joe!
