Yesterday we went to Studio J Pre-School Hour (upstairs in Jack Jones) for a story and painting pottery. For anyone that doesn't know much about this.....it is awesome! They have it once a month and a different person each month comes and reads a story to the children, then they paint a piece of pottery that pertains to the story. The story was about the birth of Jesus, and what the animals around that cold night thought. The children painted a tile that had a drawing of the stable with baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. However...it was kinda hard for the children to exactly paint on those exact outlines, but never the less they all turned out very cute!

Campbell getting her paint on her tray....

Starting to paint....

Campbell with buddy Emma Jane

Very much focused on her painting....

Final Master piece....Can't you see the stable, Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, and animals???

Knoxville Trip

Friday night we all flew into Nashville from Washington very tired, but ready to travel down the road with Nanna and Grandaddy to Knoxville to the TN Homecoming Game Sat. We had lots of fun, and the day was a little chilly , but very beautiful! It was Mary Kate's first time to attend a TN football game..and she did so good. The game however wasn't so much fun to watch, but oh well...like I said we had a GREAT time with Nana and Grandaddy!

All of us decked out in our TN attire..ready for the game!

Campbell insisted on putting the monkey on Mary Kate, and leading her around.

Nana and the girls right outside the hotel

Grandaddy with Campbell on his shoulders..which she loved!

Nana and Campbell cheesing for the camera while we sat at Calhouns for a while before heading to game.

Campbell and I with our orange T's on our faces! She said she wanted to get her face painted, but settled for that instead!

Family Day in Seattle

Saturday we all headed to Seattle which is about a little over an hour from where Tracy is working, and first went to the Space Needle which was very cool, then walked around downtown and came across the Seattle Children's Museum and had to do that! We also went down by the piers and ate a late lunch at a place on the water in front of the big boats. We didn't get any picturs of that though, because it was raining. It was a great day! Campbell especially loved the Children's Museum.

Space Needle as we were parking

View from outside part of observation deck( Tracy took these, because I didn't feel comfortable taking girls out there). It was 520 ft from ground in observation area! VERY HIGH!!!

Another view.....

And another view.....

Tracy and the girls inside the observation area

This one is kinda dark...but its me and the girls!

Tracy and Cam cheesing...

Just outside the Space Needle in a park like area

Again..same place...

This actually was earlier when we came out of the Space Needle.

Cam and I riding an inside kid ride...they had lots of them in this area around Space Needle.

This is the start of the Chidlren's Museum. Here is Campbell in the pretend bus.

They had a cool Mr. Potato Head exhibit, here she is making her own!

Going down a cool slide....

Turning a wheel that makes everything work together

Pretending..and playing with scale in the tent

Cam in the space exhibit

Mary Kate slept through the first 30-45 min we were there, so that is why she is not in any pics above.

Campbell in the pretend grocery..getting her groceries.

Here she is her favorite part of the museum..the mexican restaurant. She loved playing server, and got to take our order and bring us food at the little tables. It was so cute!
