Having 5 kids causes me to spend extra time thinking about all the locations an abundance of germs could be found. I thought of a place this week that I hadn't considered before.
I always disinfect toothbrushes, or buy new ones when a sickness starts moving it's way through the family. But I never considered the toothpaste. The opening where all the kids rub their toothbrush across, or in Justice's case, the part that he walks through the house sucking on. (Don't act like your kid's have never done it! Especially that yummy, sweet, bubble gum flavor kind. Or in Trinity's case the kind that tastes like dead strawberries)
Some pretty girls....enjoying the sun.
We were invited this past week to visit a ceramic making factory that is owned by a member of the church here in Barcelos. This nice man has been on me for weeks about stopping by his shop to pick myself out something pretty for my house. I told him I'd like to have a large vase for an over sized flower or plant. He told me Sunday he had some pretty ones right now, and I'd better hurry.
Here are some pictures of our visit....
Praise the Lord He did NOT throw the clay away!!!
Still drying.
Ladies hand painting.
Well, instead of one thing...I ended up coming home with all sorts of things....take a look...
This pot will look fabulous with a huge plant...maybe even a tree! It's much bigger than this picture makes it look.
These cute kitties were for the kids.
The three vases on the left....
And lastly this cool vase. Yes, it's supposed to look cracked. Wonder what I can do with it?
Have a great weekend everyone!

The girls look adorable and I hope everyone is feeling better now.
I love the pottery pieces.
Lib (squirty berty) looks just like her Momma when she was this age. How ever... her Momma says she looks just like her Mimi... Perhaps she looks like the both of us. Isnt she pretty!?
Those are all really pretty!!!
The girls pictures are lovely.
I bought a new tube of toothpaste and have hiding it for the use of my husband and I only. My daughter is just gross. She's a mixture of bag lady and street urchin, but she's sweet. ;-)
