Take Your Kids to Work Day

There is one day a year that Brent does not blend in with the other commuters. He stands out and draws a fair amount of attention. Not that he does anything different per se, he just happens to have these darlings in tow:
The girls' excitement for the annual Take Your Kids to Work day is pretty darn obvious.

After a hearty (ha!) breakfast of donuts, Liesel and Ireland ran off with friends they have made in years past so most of these photos are of the youngest two who aren't too cool to hang out with Dad.

New this year were balloons. Sydney got a princess and a wand. Brigitta got a mermaid, turkey, and a sword. Ireland lucked out with a unicorn. Liesel felt it was just going to pop so she opted out.


Face painting is always a big hit.

I sent Brent with four little girls and four unicorns came home with him!

Next was the Noah's Ark stuffed animals. After picking their animal, each of the girls received a star to kiss and put inside after saying, "Star light, star bright, I wish I may, I wish I might make a wish, on this star tonight!"

Most of the stuffed animals in our house are from past Take Your Kids to Work Days. Ha!

Glitter tattoos were such a hit, the girls did everything they could to preserve them in the days after the event. Arms were held high during Saturday night bath.

Lunch was hot dogs from Portillos and mac and cheese from Panera which was a HUGE hit! Brent's work really does this thing up right. The girls talk about it all year long.

As if they weren't conspicuous before, the girls really stood out with all their goodies on the train ride home.
