at the last minute before heading to school the kids remembered it was spirit day at school and they were supposed to dress in blue. so outfits were changed and it occurred to logan that the blue face crayon was a necessary addition.

so i painted maori patterns all over both of their faces to the best of my ability and to their amazement. logan asking “were you an artist when you were a child”.

it was raining and we were now late for the bus so we had to grab backpacks, umbrellas and run out the door without getting a picture.

at the bus stop the kids showed everyone their faces, just in case anyone hadn’t noticed on their own.

then, when the bus showed up and i took their umbrellas away, both bowed their heads and covered the faces with their hands to protect the valued face paint.
