our famous niece and nephew

First of all, my sister-in-law, Amy has already blogged about this- because she is a much better blogger than I am! haha So if you read her blog you have already read about this.

A week or so ago (I must admit I don't know what day- they all sort of blend together these days) As You Wish was offering a free summer class in their Mesa store, because the news was coming in to film a little promo. Nathan thought it would be fun to invite his nephews to spend the night and come to class, since this is what they would be painting:


Carson got a little nervous about spending the night away from Mom and being in front of the news cameras, so his awesome big sister Madison came in his place and painted to car for him. She's such a sweetie!

Here they are- Garrett and Madison- the latest and greatest local tv celebrities- practicing their smiles for the camera.

Getting ready to get started with their pottery in front of them- like a blank canvas ready to be turned into a police car masterpiece!


I tried to get a decent picture of the news guy without disrupting the broadcast, but he kept moving around a lot! I swear he was facing the camera when I was started taking this picture...

And here is Madison and Garrett again! Paintin' away! Garrett decided to make his police car all red... it must be an undercover cop!


Here's a shot of part of the class with one of As You Wish's most awesome associates, Jaycee. There were a lot of kids that showed up for their 15 minutes of fame.

They lined all the kids up to show off their "works in progress" to film one of those teasers they put on to get you to keep watching. To see that video, check out Amy's blog. I was able to find the rest of the tv spot online though!




Out of all the pictures I took, this is the best one I got of the weather dude. Here, he is checking out some of the really awesome summer class samples.

Madison- with her, well, with Carson's police car. She did such an awesome job!

and Garrett, showing off art work.

It was a pretty neat experience. Hopefully Madison and Garrett fun and will look back and remember that time they got to be on tv!

If you're interested to see what other classes As You Wish has to offer check out the calendar on their website! They aren't all just for kids either, they have fun adult classes too.
