decorating people.....

Today was spent away from the house at the old estate with all the people I actually miss a fair bit, I had some work for once at a children's party as the face painter, always a popular bet. It was lovely to see some of the gorgeous little people I have known since tiny dots, and great to see their parents. Working as a face painter is always nuts, everyone wants to be next and children (some of them angels) can be very fidgety, and not like you touching their faces to much. You can understand why, most of them don't like having their face wiped with a flannel at bed time by mum, let alone a stranger painting it. Then you have the bossy ones that know exactly what they want, and then the quiet ones, that never know what they want really and are to shy to tell me. I think every one was dead happy today, and I got every ones faces done, and even had time for people that wanted a bit of body art like trailing flowers on their arms, or skull tattoo ones....A brilliant day.

Poor old Zack has chicken pox (chicken spots as josh used to say), apparently most of the village has it, lucky we have a local chemist that knows everyone's business, was fantastic with advice it's the kids that have it so next week at school will be quiet for josh, he had it years ago. Maybe the fail with the Easter egg last week will be looking up for the egg rolling competition...he wont have many rivals. Hopefully all the kids will be well for Easter, it will be a very long holiday for some of them now they are all spotty and itchy. Zack's back is covered, and he has a few on his hands to, luckily so far there are none on his face. Telling a 4 year old not to scratch doesn't work to well, so it is calpol and calamine lotion for the next few days. oh 'eck!!!!
