Face Painting

This was it! "NO FEAR ZONE" held it's annual event at the Opera House. I face painted for the first time in my life and had a great time with the kids. I had made some simple templates out of vinyl sheets like a star, heart, moon, etc... and some more complicated like a rainbow, flower, or animal. The girls loved the glitter you could add to their selection and the boys loved things like footballs, robots, and cars. But the number one design for both the boys and girls was the Iowa Hawkeye emblem. Go hawks!!!

No Fear Zone

I am preparing for "No Fear Zone." An alternative Hallelujah (Halloween) party for Kindergarten through 6th grade kids. My church does this each year for the kids. There is games, prizes (many that are donated - and they're great prizes!), food, candy, skits, and more! I will be face painting for the first time in my life and I'm nervous about it. What do kids like painted on their face? Only time will tell. The excitement is building and it is one of the most talked about events coming up. Let's go and have some fun!!!

Good Buddy Day!

Today is "10-4 Good Buddy" Day! Remember the CB radio's that truckers use. When traveling with my family on trips we would listen to the CB radio and the conversations back and forth between truckers and travelers. You'd pick up lots of quick little sayings. But the favorite was "10-4 Good Buddy!" So on October the 4th (10-4) - remember your buddy and wish them a "good buddy" day!

First Love!

My son, Tyler, has his first girlfriend and is experiencing for the first time - LOVE! Oh how I remember my first love. I never understood "Love is Blind" but I sure do now! Because when you are in an infatuation type of love, there is so much you don't see that others do. He's handling it very well and responsibly. Erica is a sweetie!
