Aunt Kelly

Aunt Kelly graced us with her presence last weekend. 

Two things she brought with her, face paint and some funny yoga moves, best weekend ever! 

Having never used face paint before, but adoring tattoos and any sort of accessory, they completely embraced being painted and decorated. Aunt Kelly didn't disappoint with her artistic abilities, thank you in part to pictures from the internet, she turned them into tigers, princesses, and our new OBSESSION, Ninja Turtles. 

Kelly was the perfect visitor, low key, go with the flow, willing to get on the floor and play anything they wanted, so helpful to my aching body, fun, entertaining, and so much fun! We all went out to bagels on Saturday morning and then just hung out and enjoyed each other. No busy schedule just a great weekend. 

Quinton was up first. 

Next was Rex who wanted to be a Red Tiger. 

Check out these scary boys.

 

Myla wanted to be a princess. How do you face paint a princess? This is what we came up with and she seemed completely satisfied.

Are you wondering if Kelly painted Dan's face as well?

Despite the beautiful work, she was not the artists. My big kids joyfully helped their Daddy out. He is always an amazing sport and at face painting he didn't disappoint. The best part was that shortly after being made up he had to deal with some people who were cleaning out our gutters for us. He made the kids come outside with him so that he didn't look like a crazy man. Love him!

After nap time it was on to the next character to be. Without question the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the new obsession in our house. I'm not sure who loves them more, my husband or my kids. They all adore them. It's amazing how long they can play ninja turtles and it's amazing at how great my daughter is at staying in the game.

These boys were thrilled. A little face paint can provide tons of entertainment!

Oh Aunt Kelly was the best. I would have never thought to bring face paint. Notice Titan got a little orange and green paint on him too!

My favorite kids in the world!

Michelangelo and Aunt Kelly.

Kelly got to experience Titan's full craziness. He was so funny while she was here!

And it was only fitting to order pizza for dinner, the Ninja Turtles LOVE pizza, and so do Kelly and I!

Wonderful weekend. I love my sister. She is just a delight to be around and a wonderful Aunt. I am so thankful that she took a weekend to drive and hang out with us. We are looking forward to more time with her at Christmas! So thankful for family.
