Artful Fun

In smaller towns there seems to be a lot of festivals like the corn roast festival, founders day festival, harvest festival, I got-my-new-teeth festival - OK maybe not that one, but I think they need to for those who are missing a few pearly whites - and the art festival which we just attended here in Forest Grove (this hill is right by our house)...

There was a puppet show which Teni loved, but my big boys informed me that they are too grow up for that kind of stuff now. Don't they know you're never too old for talking hand socks. And what would a festival be without face painting? Eddie took Teni while I waited for balloon hats with the other 2. Teni kept this on the entire day and showed it to any and everyone who would look. Why the guy put this on him is beyond me. Maybe he wanted to put the town's "unofficial" coat of arms on someone...
After waiting for about 35 minutes in line the boys finally had their "CRAZY" hats. The man making the balloons was entertaining and funny right up until you got close enough to smell what he was cook'n under his shirt. Lets just say they need to add a "Got a stick of Deodorant" festival to the list. People watching me must have thought I had Tourette's syndrome because ever time he lifted his arms my head shot in the other direction. Let me tell you people, it's not easy to smile and talk with out BREATHING!!! But the end result was well worth it for these two, minus a few brain cells!


All in all I would say another successful festival down - 3 happy little campers, 1 mom with a better appreciation for hygiene, and 1 husband who thinks his wife is a NUT!!!
