face painting

Well, it's official. We have now successfully accomplished our first "outreach" event with our church. We spent the day painting kid's faces at a local block party. To be honest, I've never had so much fun in my life.

I think the more surprising thing for me was realizing how much the kids enjoyed getting their faces painted...even if it was a terrible job. It makes me wonder if part of the draw of face painting is 1) you get the undivided attention of someone or 2) when all is said and done, you are different or unique. I haven't decided which is more the case, but it was a really fun event. I highly recommend giving it a try.
