Mad Platter Madness

Saturday, the 28th of March, we met some friends and family at Mad Platter to do Easter Plates. Logan and Sara Grace made one last year for me as a surprise while I was out of town at Grandaddy's funeral and I love it. So, I thought Hampton needed one also for his first Easter! We met lots of friends there. In this picture is Sawyer and Maddox.
Mimi came to help us and pick out what she wanted for her house. I was so thankful to have the help!
Some more of our friends, Elizabeth, Margaret (the owner), Aunt Chappell, and Mandy.
In the past, Logan has always screamed during the painting of his feet. He did so well this time. He just sat there and stared while Margaret did her painting. I think it may have helped that he was being held by Mimi...
What's that??? It looks like he may have even looked happy about his footprint!
Then, Aunt Sara showed up to help also...Yay for Aunt Sara's help!
Mommy and Aunt Sara working with Logan. He made Easter eggs with his thumbprint.
Mimi brought us her exersaucer so that Hampton could play. He really enjoyed it!
Working so hard!
Can you tell he just woke up???
Mimi helping Mommy with Hampton (at this point, Grandaddy had taken Logan to his house for a nap so that we could get our painting done). Hampton was soooo good. He was there for
3 1/2 hours and never even fussed!
He was so tired - poor baby!

The final product
It is Hampton's footprint and Logan's thumbprints as the eggs. I love it!
And the springtime plate I had the boys make. Each butterfly is a set of the boys' footprints. And, there is a caterpillar in the grass. It looks better once it has gone through the kiln. I'll have to post pictures of the final products...but here is the "before the kiln" looks.
