Just because it's inevitable doesn't mean it can't be postponed.
I felt this way about festival face painting. Whenever you go to one of those festivals, the line of the face painting lady is ridiculous. And at $7 a pop, not exactly cheap. But Carolyn must have heard someone talk about face painting at school or the playground or something, because all of a sudden, she's got her heart set on it.
And if Carolyn has it, dollars to donuts Penny has to have it too.
So our pre-face painting lives are a thing of the past. But even though it's totally a scam and annoying and wasteful, don't the girls look cute!
Carolyn's a butterfly!
Penny's a tiger. A rainbow tiger!

I swear I last read your blog like a week... or maybe two weeks ago. Now I realize how truly fast time flies. After reading through past entries, I feel like I've spent the summer with you in fast forward. The face painting looks super fun, I understand the fascination (and it's totally worth $7, as long as it doesn't get to be a habit!) Also, I definitely think the lifeguards were overreacting, but it is nice to know that Carolyn is safe at the pool! And lastly (for now) - fascinating stuff that left-handedness is (sorry for the syntax - read it as if I'm speaking and it will make more sense). Both re: Penny & the scientific research.
WOW, that's some fancy face painting. At first I was like, whoa, $7, but then I saw how it was totally worthy. My first thought was, geez, that's expensive for a little balloon, heart of shamrock on the cheek like we used to get. Face painting has come a long way.
