A local store had a "customer appreciation night" with lots of cool stuff for the kids. Crafts and balloons, cupcakes and cookies ... and face painting! Brooke was so excited, she waited in line patiently (by herself) for about 30 minutes. When she was done, Ryan couldnt take his eyes off of her. She kept pressing for him to get it done and told the artist (Mary Macaroni) repeatedly how bad her brother wanted some painting. Brooke said he wanted a "flower on his arm". I suggested something else and we decided on a football.
So Ryan gets up there and I say "Do you want painting on your arm?" and he points to his face and says "eyes!". So, we decide to try. I figured he'd never sit through it, but he knew exactly what he wanted. Afterwards he couldnt stop looking at himself in the mirror :) Both kids had an awesome time.
Afterwards we went out to dinner to celebrate Mom's birthday ... followed up by presents and cupcakes. I seriously hope these kids know how awesome they have it ;)
