February Mom's Night Out - Alpha Fired Arts and Comedy Spot

A small group of NMG moms (Katie, Kate and myself) headed to Alpha Fired Arts in February for a Mom's Afternoon Out. We all picked out the ceramic pieces we wanted to paint and set to work. The conversation flowed as we worked on our masterpieces although you could tell when one of us was working on a particularly detailed part when we became silent and hunched over our piece. We compared painting/artistic skills and decided if the piece didn't turn out as nice as we hoped we would just tell people our kids painted them! Although, in the end, I think we were all proud of our art work. We were having such a great time talking and painting that the time flew by and before we knew it the staff was informing us that they closed in 5 minutes. It was a great afternoon out and I think all three of us are looking forward to going back! Katie and I decided that we were going to extend our Mom's Night Out and head to The Comedy Spot that night to see The Real Funny House Wives of Rio Linda. It was Amazing!! I highly recommend you go and see their show the next time they are performing at The Comedy Spot. I don't think Katie or I stopped laughing the whole show! It is definitely a show for moms by moms and a perfect outing for the NMG. It was a great way to end a fun day out!

Children's Outing - KidzArt

Plenty of budding Picassos turned out to showcase their artistic talents at the new KidzArt studio in February. There was so much excitement generated by this outing that KidzArt offered two classes so all the kids could participate. The classes were broken down according to age so that KidzArt could plan projects suitable for each age group. The older kids (ages 4 and up) went first and learned how to draw a dog and a gumball machine. Then is was the younger kids turn. They got the chance to use paint and make an ice cream cone using different shaped sponges and paint rollers. I think everyone had a great time and all of us moms were very impressed with the art our little ones were able to create!
