no one told me it would take a power washer to remove face paint and truthfully had i known, she may not have sported this charming butterfly.

nor did anyone tell me we'd both laugh this hard trying to
remove said face paint.

it was decidedly worth the giggles.

i wish sundays lasted a whole week.

  2. Wonder what kind of paint they used....our reg face painters use something that comes off really easily. We have experienced the hard to remove type of paint. I now keep a jar of baby cream on hand for exactly that purpose.

    Glad you enjoyed your day.

  3. Oh dear....it happened here once and I had forgotten all about it. Since Lily no longer has any traces left, I guess it must come off eventually ;O)
    She does look beautiful with it though.

  8. Ahhh!!! This is my specialty! You know, being an art teacher & all...try cold cream or baby oil next time! :)

    Super cute, though, with or without the butterfly! ;)

  11. Thanks MUCH for sharing the joy. I'm pretty sure a person could not NOT smile (big) when viewing these photos. Huge heart smiles that make things light.

  12. Oh, but she is an amazing The Butterfly! (Did she get a rash from it? The Tongginator totally gets a rash from face paint.)

  14. I had a temporary tattoo in middle school. My mom tried to wash it off with everything, including eye makeup remover b/c the next day was school pictures. We finally got it off. The next morning I had an abrasion instead of a tattoo. My mom felt so bad. Needless to say, I had pictures taken on make-up day. We learned the following day that they easily come off with baby oil or hairspray.
