Oompa Loompa

Austin's school did a St. Jude's fundraiser. To celebrate the end of their fundraising week, they had a parade. His classroom's theme was Willy Wonka. His classroom was decorated like Candy Land, and all of the kids dressed up as Oompa Loompas. I was the only mom that put white eyebrows on her child - MISTAKE! When I got there, the teacher loved them so much, I got volunteered to paint them on 11 other children. I'm pretty sure two of those kids hate me now, and I made one little girl cry when she saw herself. I slipped her a piece of candy from Candy Land, and she was all smiles again. Thank you again to the friends and family that donated money and helped Austin meet and exceed his fundraising goal!

Austin is so cute! This really turned out well. He looks happy, and hopefully Candyland took care of the rest! :)

Haha I don't think you told me about making a child cry when I first heard this story. =) Very cute Oompa Loompa!
