This is my new favorite place!

They just opened one in our hood last month and Mia has been asking to go every since!

Well with 2 birthdays in September I figured now was a good time to check it out!

The first birthday is my mom's.

All Mia kept saying was that she wanted to make a hand print plate.

I wasn't real thrilled with the idea (what does a grandma do with a hand print plate?)

but when we got there I saw that you can turn your plate in to a clock!

Brilliant!

A functional hand print plate!!

So Mia got to work on her plate!

 She had so much fun and did the whole thing with very little help from me!

She is very proud of her masterpiece!

We think it turned out awesome and so does Mama d!

While we were there I was looking at some of the examples hanging around,

And got an idea for Caleb's birthday!

It required both kids to be there, and let's just say that it wasn't as much fun as Mia and I's first experience!

Once I had both of their footprints - that was all I needed them for!

I left my tile there 1/4 finished, took Mia to school, fed Marshall and put him down for a nap, handed Grammy the monitor and went back!

This is the finished product for Caleb's birthday!

 It turned out so great!

I must admit the time that I spent there alone was the best!

It was so therapeutic and relaxing!

I might have to come up with some more gifts I need to make and plan a date with me, myself and I!
