 It was so nice to be throwing with good clay again.  Also we can use the pugmill again!  Yay!!  I pugged clay and then made a few spoon rests and a tall tumbler.  Jared worked at home today.  He had time to throw on the wheel and made a bunch of bowls and a vase.  Every break Jacob had today he worked on the puzzle.  It's a hard puzzle and Jacob is good at finding the right pieces.  It was another beautiful day today.  I moved things around on the deck and swept off the leaves.  Got to play soccer with the boys.  We watched the new Mandolorian while eating dinner.  The boys played minecraft with Nik.

Playing with the laser light.

Practicing spelling words

Had to move to the big table

Today I had mugs to trim and handles to put on.  I also did fluting on the mugs.  Jacob didn't have any zoom meetings today.  He only has zoom meetings on Mon and Wed's.  Daddy stopped at the store on the way home and picked up a couple puzzle.  The boys picked the Star Wars puzzle one to do first and we started it tonight.  It was a beautiful day today.  We played soccer until it got too dark.  Adam sure does love his Spanish class.  Its one of his favorite classes.

He is alway happy to scrap my windows.

Silly Adam

Jacob enjoyed school at home today.  He had 5 zoom meetings.  I threw some mugs using the last of the white clay. Yay!  I will only have enough to make handles.  I scrubbed the pottery room and took towels outside to hose off.  Jacob and I had lunch together.  I cut up onion, carrots, and potatoes to put with a roast in the crockpot  The onions and carrots were from our garden.  Jacob had a zoom meeting when it was time for me to go get the boys.  He came out to greet us when we got home.  Adam and Eli cleaned their bedroom really good.  Eli went through his junk/treasure box and got rid of a bunch of stuff.  Jacob and Adam went outside to kick the soccer ball.  They came in to play minecraft.  After dinner we played a game of 3-13.  Daddy won.  Eli was the high score.  In one round he got 93 points!

Scratch art

Talking about math.  All three of these boys really love math.

New spot for all of Adam's mineraft legos.

Moved Jacob's dresser in his closet to make room for a desk.  He really likes it.

Watching Three Stooges. 

Jared had to go into work early this morning.  I took the boys to school and then stopped at the post office to drop off a couple packages.  I made lots of mugs using the white clay. That clay is almost gone.  The boys packed lunches when they got home from school and then they played minecraft.  I gave all the boys and Jared haircuts this evening.  Jacob and Eli were asking for haircuts.

It was rainy and very windy today.  Lots of power outages in the area.  We didn't lose power.  After church we were going to play soccer but it was raining.  The boys helped me clean the house.  Then Daddy and Eli played a few games of battleship.  Daddy won the first two game and Eli won the last game.  We went shopping and got pizza for lunch.  The boys played minecraft.  Jared and I played 3-13 and I won.This evening we watched Full House and Three Stooges and had popcorn pop and ice cream. Jacob's school is going to virtual learning starting on Wednesday until Dec 10.
