Have you ever read the children's book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? Well, today was a bit like that. First, Gracie needed a butterfly painted on her face to go with her fairy costume, so Mom asked me to do that for her. It turned out quite a bit better than I had expected. :D
Then, of course, she had to do mine...
Then I had to get out my camera and take her to the backyard for a quick photoshoot...
Then I had to take a shower.
Then Clay came and asked me to paint a blue flame over the side of his face.
And while I did, Gracie kept asking me to let her re-paint my face, seeing as how it all washed off in the shower. So I let her.
Then, as I was passing out candy to two young trick-or-treat-ers, one of them wouldn't come close to me. She was probably two or three, and kept staring at my face like I was a monster. So I washed it off again.
And now, as I'm writing this, I'm waiting for more trick-or-treat-ers to arrive and eating the candy that's supposed to be for them. (Only the really good stuff, like the Reese's and the Twix.) No. I'm not that heartless. I'm only eating some of it. x]
And about an hour from now, Gracie will come home and probably ask if she can paint my face again.
