painted.

i hope they remember these nights.  filled with friends and no restrictions on

the number of pieces of candy that can be eaten.  jumping in the bounce house

time and time again and winning at the cake walk.  [5 times.]

i hope they remember my eyes kind and our laughter free.

that time he said, imma have 'em paint my whole face for 2 tickets, k?

i nodded my head encouragingly and he was off in a flash.

i hope i always remember his sweet voice as he ran back for approval,

you like-a my face, mom?!

oh, sweet boy.  i like-a your face so very much.  

[i like all of their faces so very much.]
