Pottery

Last week Meghan needed this very large lump of clay for her art class. We asked around and found out where we could buy it. With some assistance we were able to get some and she took it to school last Friday. (More about the place where we got the clay in a later post.) We were surprised when she brought home about 80% of the clay. They only need a small amount for their art project and she brought the rest home for her sisters to have. Lilly and Emma were delighted. So, Saturday morning they started early working on their creations. 

This is how they started....a bag of clay and a bucket of water.

Sweet girl!
You can see the lemons on our tree beginning to ripen.
What will I do with a tree full of lemons?

Quickly they had a problem....they did not have a surface to work on. So, they went to Daddy and he set them up working on the bottom of my laundry hampers. 

Lilly's creating begins

And Emma's as well

They were outside ALL DAY. We had to make them come in for lunch and they worked into the evening. They had a totally of about 15 different masterpieces by the time night fell. 

So proud of herself!

The two of them talked and talked as they worked.  

Some of their work

More creations

By the end of the day they were quite dirty, but so proud of that fact! 

Our prayer is that we continue to make relationships and learn more language so that in the coming weeks the girls can have friends over to play on Saturdays!
