Meg's Grandma was so thrilled about her recital performance, that upon returning home, she ordered for her oldest granddaughter something for which Meg had been longing...
Face. Paint.
How very, very quickly the UPS man arrived with the package in which four sets of face paints were placed.
Oh Grandma. Thanks so awfully much...
...for all of that paint.
Meg was looking forward to following the directions and turning Molly into a puppy or a clown or a butterfly, but...
...nothin' doin'...
"See! I can do it mythelf!"
Boy could she!
Just a bit here...
...and some highlights here...
"Now! Take my picture!"
Then she found some more real estate...
...right there,
...and maybe just fill in...
...here on the cheek bone area...
At lunchtime, we cleaned her up a bit...
a very little bit, so that her pillow wouldn't suffer at nap time.
Thwarted by Molly, Meg gained permission to use Kate as her canvas...
and then she turned her face paint back toward her very own self later in the evening...
Molly, not to be outdone, decided to have one more go at this whole color-your-face event and we were all surprised at what a fine job she did...
...but perhaps, none of us was more surprised than she...
Eat your heart out Barnum & Bailey!

Looks like the girls are ready for their Cirque du Soleil debut!
Brava, Meg, on a superb performance!
I love these pictures! Elliot and Wynton would love these too!
