Phebe, the Tiger

Cannon Falls First Thursday Fun Fest has begun again! We went downtown last night to check out the street vendors, food booths, kiddie games, wacky hair, the Community Band, and ... best of all ... Bozie the Clown! He started painting kid's faces at 4:00, and he was still going strong at 8:00. He does such a fantastic job, and takes so much time with each kid, that the wait is over an hour for one of his creations. Phebe didn't have the patience to wait in line in September and May, but she was determined last night. Fortunately, the band was playing during her wait, so while she stood in line, I relaxed at a picnic table and listened to some good music.

Finally, the wait was over! She chose a tiger, and Bozie began.

All done! Isn't that amazing?

We didn't get home until after 8:00, so she posed for a few pictures and then went up to get ready for bed. I just couldn't make her take a bath and wash all that off after her long wait.


When she came downstairs, she had put on her Halloween cat costume, and the transformation was complete!

Pretty cute, huh?

She finally got to bed, and she really thought she would be able to lie on her back all night long. Guess what? Didn't happen. When I woke her in the morning, she had black facepaint all over her hands from rubbing her eyes, and her whole face was totally smudged. I should have gotten a picture of that! Good thing her pillow case is dark purple.

Off to the bath tub!
