Face Painting With Friends

My friend Julia casually mentioned the other day that she'd picked up some face paints off Amazon and would my kids like to come over and get their faces painted. Would they? We can't pass one of those godforsaken face-painting booths without my daughter asking to be a butterfly, and my son pretty much wants whatever my daughter wants. So of course we accepted. And yes, Julia is supremely gifted in all things artistic. Just look at her beautiful work! Snook, the butterfly. I don't think she's ever been more pleased with herself.Bubs, the snake. This is his "mean guy" face. And below are the artist's own lucky daughters. And two more adorable little cuties from that day. With a friend like this you can be sure I won't be throwing down $12-$15 at those booths anymore. Not that I ever did. Julia, you are an inspiration! She truly is. I already bought my own set of paints and gave it a go. I'm embarrassed to even show you, but more on that later . . .

Thanks, Heather. I used my friend's fancy camera and that made all the difference. She's a photographer too and her house is covered with the most gorgeous pictures of her kids. But I would love to come photograph your children anyway! Any excuse to see you guys . . .
