The things we do...

Michael's is a cornucopia of surprises, in my opinion. Wandering the aisles you never know what you are going to find in terms of little projects for the little ones. Last week, I found, in the bargain bin, (clearly leftover from Halloween) a face painting kit. Every time we go anywhere there is a face painter my kids are all over him/her so I thought this would be a great afternoon activity. Yesterday I pulled the kit out since they were dressed up in their polka dot best, figuring they couldn't ruin a shirt we had already ruined and was prepared to spend the afternoon painting faces. Painting faces is what they wanted to do unfortunately it wasn't their faces they wanted painted - it was mine. So in the spirit of "The Things We Do for Our Children" I let them paint me - Greyson one side of my face and Quinn the other. After I was completed they were more than happy to let me do theirs. I don't know what I enjoyed more - their giggles as they painted me or the look on my husbands face when he walked in the door.....
