Face painting

After helping me in the yard one Saturday I took the girls to the craft store as a reward. We had a hard time finding two things under $5 so they decided to pool their money and get a face painting kit.
This had been a long time coming, since we went to the circus and I told them if they would stop asking to get their faces painted, I would buy them their own face paints. 6 months ago.
So Anna painted Eliza's face first

Then Eliza painted my face

And I painted Anna's face.

The next day we took the paints to Grammas house and Anna painted her cousin Lincoln's face, she did a very good job turning him into Spider-Man all by herself. We may have praised her a bit too highly because on the drive home she decided she could set up a face painting booth on our driveway and earn a bunch of money painting all the neighbor kids faces. She went to school on Monday ready to tell all her friends to come over after lunch to get their faces painted and -

They did. Anna didn't charge them anything and she even let them paint each other. It was a solid 3 hour face paint extravaganza. 

Eliza kept her witch face all day until she could show daddy

This was from another day, she let her friend paint a goatee, it was pretty funny.

So if you need something to do this summer, set up a face painting booth! 
But not on our street, this is our turf!
