Last night at our ward Halloween party I volunteered to do face painting. I know you are all laughing at me for taking that on....come on, who volunteers right?
It sure was an interesting night. I had one little boy who was all dressed in camoflauge ask me to draw a army guy on his face. Uh, stick figure ok? Nope. He walked away quite upset. Sorry guys, I'm not a professional!
There was another little boy that asked for a blue tree. ??? He was dressed up as the devil.....I'm not sure where he got "blue tree"? But we were cracking up about that one for a while.
There was another little boy (what is it with these boys?!) that asked for a flashlight. Maybe he forgot his at home? After some convincing, he ended up with a bat. :] I'm a party pooper, I know.
Muriel helped me with some of the face painting, and she got the little boy that asked for a blue tree. She was worried that the mother was looking at her like she was crazy....haha she probably was! :]
By far, the little girls were the easiest. Butterfly. Flower. Star. But one little girl asked for a Black Widow. Uh, I don't even know what the looks like or how it looks any different than a "regular" halloween spider.....and that's what I told her. Of course then she explained to me how to draw a black widow.....bascially, a "regular" spider with a red dot in the middle. :]
These kids were fun. Some were silly and some were sassy. Some were girly and some were puzzling. Some were total boys and some were surprising. Some knew exactly what they wanted and some sat and thought for a while.
It really was a lot of fun being with them......I think I just may volunteer next year. ;]
