The End of Another Week

Nothing ever goes smoothly.
I began the bisque firing process of the ceramics that the boys have been making. At the end of the process an error occurred. I could have guessed something like that would have happened. I guess the problem is that there is not enough electricity running into the kiln to fire the clay projects.

Crazy. Crazy.

But on a good note. The boys have been enjoying the ceramic class. (I have a feeling though, the main reason they like it is because it gets them out of the cold and out of working for an hour. ha.) I have had fun seeing the creativity flow from the boys that I would have never guessed would have enjoyed pottery. They are creating some beautiful pieces. The adorable thing is that they all want to finish and give it to their mom. So cute.

oh another crazy thing. The wood burning furnace hasn't been heating the pottery room. So... I have been quite cold the past few weeks. BUT... Yesterday, the best thing happened for me. One of the guys on staff brought me two electric heaters! I am starting to feel my fingers again. ha.

(just got back from driving the mail down to the mail box, the car I was driving just died on me. I had to walk back up the lane, and I had forgot a coat. ha)

I love being able to just talk with the boys. I hear some of the funniest things with my time with them. One story: One day I was talking with a boy, who has Auspergers Syndrome, and out of no where, he asked me if I could have a "crush" on him. I said I don't think that would be possible. He asked well what about til June and then I will just dump you then. I responded, well that wouldn't be fun to be dumped. Why would you want me to have a "crush" on you til June. He replied well sometimes I just would like to have a girlfriend. He also told me that he was a nice guy and it would be a good idea cause we would make a good match cause we both like the game, Mouse Trap. I was able to change his mind so that we could just be best friends!

Well that is a little about the adventures I have been on. Life is crazy but oh so wonderful.

I have started reading through some books for my j-term class on interior decor. I am excited for Monday to start and to begin to dive into the class. Come Monday I will be posting every day and sharing what I am learning as well as some photos, to show the progress!
