Greek Fest!

Last weekend was our church's Greek Festival. Once again, the food was amazing. Nate and I especially appreciated all the Greek food this year since we were not able to go to Greece. I think I gained five pounds just in the two days I worked at the festival. Nate and I worked at the ticket booth on Saturday. I sold tickets again on Sunday with my brother and also worked at the kid's tent. I really enjoyed working at the kid's tent. I've been away from my preschoolers for so long, I really do miss them. It was nice to be around kids again and just have fun. I was in charge of face painting. I am hardly an artist, but none of the kids complained about my paintings. I would offer to paint a heart or a sun, something easy, but in the end the kids would decide on SpongeBob or a dragon. Kids are so sweet, they all said that my paintings were beautiful, even though most were unrecognizable. Some of the kids enjoyed the painting so much that they wanted to paint me! Before long, my arms and legs were covered with kids' artwork! I miss preschool. I don't want to go back to work, but working with kids this weekend made me miss preschool.

Then Katie started painting me!
Alaina wore a Greek dress that my parents bought for her. It's hard to see when she's sitting in her carseat, but it was really cute!
