Its always fun to see pieces go from brown, to white, to COLORFUL!! Monday was no exception. Ryan arrived excited to take the Candyland players to their next level.
Grant was in a prime time slot today. His acting skill were not required for this gig however. He base coated lots of cardboard and the backboards for the games. Thanks to all his work we can finally start with the stuff that is a bit more interesting...adding color.
Day 4 - brought in some new (to prep this year), yet very familiar faces.
Carolyn, Angie & Ann immediately went to work figuring out what needed to happen. They organized, glued, painted, and then streamlined the process for turning shirts into bags. If only they could spin straw into gold, think of the decoration possibilities.
Alyce, Liz & Lydia jumped right into papermaching candy pieces with Christy.

This prompted a long talk about the goo chromosome. We have determined thru somewhat empirical(ish) evidence that children seem to be born either goo + or goo -. People seem to wind up polarized on either end of the spectrum with either a deep connection to the gooey process of papermache (It's so zen...) or an equally deep adversion (aaaaack!). There have been, on rare occasions, observations of a few genetic mutations that result in goo neutral.
Alyce, Rylie, and Liz had just returned from NBTSC and regaled us with their adventures. Ellie was a willing participant in everything that needed an extra hand, including toting Katelyn. It was really great to see everyone. I feel like I am at a much needed family reunion each year when this time rolls around.
After priming lollipops for the afternoon, Elizabeth, Molly, Louisa, Lydia, and
Kristen spent time trying to assess their goo factor. Elizabeth was surprised that her girls
(covered with paint) had apparent symptoms of goo negativity.
They gave it a shot, but there's always tomorrow - I'm a gooeyvangelist :)
