Fall Picnic

Lilly and I went to the fall picnic for work this year. She had a great time! Sophia, her, Braden, and Claire were all born within the same 5 month period and they see each other at different functions because their parents not only work together, but they sometimes play together. It's really fun to see them all growing up. And even though they don't see each other that often, when they do, it is like they say "oh hi! it's you again. let's go play" and I'm sure there is sweet music in the background.
This is Sophia and Lilly at the pumpkin decorating station! Oh, Lilly made a mess! And it was my fault for suggesting "Lilly, do you want to use the paint?" Who would ask that question? (besides me.)

Enjoying the slide.

And they all loved playing on this bouncy fire engine.

There was an awesome face painter there. Lilly stood in line and waited twice to have a little pumpkin painted on her hand. She only waited in line for a couple minutes and would leave to see something else. She sees an older girl with her whole face painted like a tiger. And she looked at me and said "I want that." Then she walked over to the face painter and waited. Even the face painter questioned her ability to sit still for this to be done. I assured her I had no idea if she would and that I had low expectations. We told Lilly to just lay back and close her eyes.

She was so still and relaxed she almost fell asleep.

And she was so happy with it! It was adorable! How do you tickle a tiger? Surprisingly, very easily. Now because we were at this picnic having so much fun, we missed our nap time. So we had to keep her awake until bed time now! So much fun. This is her extremely tired and concentrating so hard on painting. She went to bed so easily.
