El Tigre

The face-painting lady at our community picnic today did this in about 3 minutes -- it was amazing to watch and Thomas was quite proud of his tiger face.  The hard part for Thomas was having to wash it all off before we went to Mass this evening.  The community picnic was really neat -- it was held at the lakefront near our house, and they had all kinds of free activities like the face painting, a guy making balloon animals, a magic show, and a couple of bounce houses.  A handful of local politicians roamed around and "pressed the flesh" which was kind of neat.  The whole picnic had an old-timey feel to it and it was an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon.

Tomorrow David, Jack, Thomas, and Peter are heading to an Orioles game.  Davy and I will have some quiet time together, probably reading lots of books, playing cars, and maybe making cookies or something else creative and fun.  And when he goes down for his afternoon nap, the house will be super quiet and I might just have to kick back and find a chick flick to watch :).
