This is what passes for entertainment at our house. Tonight the whole family spent about 10 minutes in the smallest room in the house in fits of giggles. The boys found their attempts at body art highly amusing and we were laughing at their gales of giggles.

Edward was "putting on lipstick," which is interesting because I could probably count on one hand the number of times he's seen me do this so I'm not sure where he took his inspiration.

Daniel had himself completely covered, practically requiring a second bath. It rubs off very easily, but by the time they were done the water was kind of a dingy grey. Ugh.

They tried coloring on each other, but found they preferred to keep things more personal.

We got the mirror so they could see what they looked like. John was pretty proud of this "artistic" frame.

While I'm posting pictures, here are a few from our weekend festival, "Sand in the City" which was primarily a sand sculpting contest, but also included a huge pile of sand dumped in the street for kids to play in. The bath above was tonight, but an even more vigorous scrubbing was needed Saturday after this filthy fun.


There was also a bouncy castle.
On our way back to the car, the boys stopped to play "real music" at the outdoor piano on our pedestrian plaza. Earlier in the week they'd wanted to stop to play but someone was actually playing with sheet music and I told them it wasn't their turn because someone was "playing real music." Perhaps someday they'll have a "real" duet.
