Color Me Mine

This past Saturday I decided to take a break from what has seemed like nonstop work with National Boards and take Mia to Color Me Mine, a really cool place where you can pick out something ceramic to paint and then they will fire it for you to bring home a couple days later.  Color Me Mine just opened in the Burr Ridge Town Center, which is so close to my mom's you could walk.  Unfortunately the weather was windy and rainy so we drove over.  :)  My mom had the idea to bring the 2 older kids there and it was a hit!  Mia saw several things that caught her attention, but ultimately she picked the clownfish (still hanging on to that love of Nemo!).  Noah appropriately picked a guitar. :)  They got to pick out the colors they wanted to paint and then they got to work.  Mia was very focused on her painting, it was cute!  Afterwards we headed over to Buffalo Wild Wings where we met up with Cort and Mike and the 2 little ones.  What a great day and THANK YOU mom!!

You didn't realize this is what Nemo looked like??
