face painting

addie and i had a fun-filled saturday. first, we painted some pottery at this little place in the morning. our next stop was the library to pick up some books. and then we went to this little local event called "kids day at the park". they had police, firefighters, and EMT ambulances there and stuff so the kids can see them up close. they also had a bounce house which we did not go in since addie's not really a fan of those. it was a gloomy day so the turn out for the event was pretty sad. but they did have a face painting booth there (which is pretty much the sole reason why we went) and the woman doing it was actually one of addie's dance friend's mom. so we got a little one done...






it was too bad because after the park we have to come home for nap time....in which i told her we probably have to wipe the face paint off so it doesn't get on her pillow and sheets. she was disappointed, but understood. she certainly did not want to "ruin" (as she called it) her bed and her dolly.

and to cap off our day, after nap, we had a 1st birthday party to attend to. the party was great.. they had a cotton candy machine AND there was face painter there too! addison was thrilled. not only once, but twice in one day! though this face painter was a bit different and more elaborate than our earlier one. she was doing like whole face stuff! i was thinking in my head... that's fine for other kids, but i don't know if i want addison with her whole face painted! a little one like earlier would be just fine. i better stick around close and make sure she doesn't pick out one that's kind of obnoxious. well, i stepped away for a moment and came back.. but i was too late! she as already sitting the chair and the artist was already doing her thing. addison picked out a butterfly. initially, i kept having visions of mike tyson and his face tattoo in my head! but it ended up looking really cute on her i must say. but she could be wearing a potato sack and i'd still think she was the cutest little thing. :)
