A few big events for us in May. We taught a puppet seminar May 7th. Next weekend we will be doing balloons at two different events. Friday night Balloons for Greenville's Relay for Life and Saturday night Balloons for Greenville's Animal Hospital. Looks like it will be a busy summer. We'll keep you posted.

Well, it looks like March is going to be a busy month! We are twisting balloons at a charity event the first weekend in March. http://www.wheelsfornoah.com/ Then our regular gig at Pelham Rd. Chick-Fil-A on March 8th. The second weekend will be a church conference at Reidville Baptist in which we minister to the children for the weekend (this will be the 3rd year we've done this). Bible Conference will be upon us toward the end of March and both sets of Parents will be visiting. :-)

Balloons, Puppets and Magic - alright!!


Well it has been awhile since I've been here. Hands Full of Fun has been busy!! (and I've been a slacker and not updated the blog)

In the Fall we did balloons at Farm Fest and regular puppet shows at Chick-fil-a's in the area
At Christmas time we helped Carl Woody (http://www.joyset.com/) with the Roper Mtn. Lights - that was tons of fun!!

We just did a Birthday party this weekend and almost every weekend is full the spring, 2010.
Everyone loves balloons, puppets, and magic - and we seem to be getting busier.

SC Homeschool Convention - Children's Program



Melissa and I led a Children's Program with 10 of our friends. We were at the SC Homeschool Educator's Association in Sumter, SC. Lots of fun and a lot of work to entertain over 100 children for the weekend of June 19 and 20. We did things like puppets, animal balloons, magic, crafts, songs, games, and of course snacks! There is no way we could have made it through the weekend without help from our friends. Thanks for all your help! I'll do another blog later about some of the highlights.

Melissa just finished some balloon flowers. They look great! It's for someone's birthday tomorrow at Melissa's work in Greenville, SC. She tried some new designs for her balloons and put them in a cool balloon vase.

Hands Full of Fun - Birthday Party


Well, we're back home after entertaining at the birthday party in Greenville, SC. It looked like everyone loved Hands Full of Fun today! We started with puppets and had a "Happy Birthday" script with Ralph and Elmer. I did magic tricks in between. The kids were entertained with the sponge ball magic tricks. After the puppet show and magic, Melissa and I made some animal balloons for the children. We're tired, but had a lot of fun.

Puppet Practice


Puppet practice tonight! We went over new scripts and new songs and had a lot of fun. Another thing we got accomplished was taking some pictures of Melissa and me so our Hands Full of Fun website could be updated. Before there was only a picture of Melissa and me with our balloon Mr. McDougal. And the picture was very grainy, so it was time that we showed you our puppets, Ralph and Elmer. We hope you like them - these puppets make Hands Full of Fun . . . extra fun.

Magic Tricks


Some of you are probably wondering what kind of magic I do. I love sponge ball magic tricks and so do the kids. I usually try to do some magic tricks in between our puppet songs or puppet stories. I also do coin magic, rope tricks, silk tricks, and card tricks. And some magic tricks that use specialized props like the crayons in the picture.

Balloons

Melissa is making a balloon sculpture right now. She keeps bopping me with balloons as she twists her creation. :-) I think it will look cool when its done, but right now it looks like an balloon octopus. . . . or a balloon tower. . . . but she said she is making a balloon flower vase. I'll take a picture and post it here or maybe on our website.

Under our slide show link we have other flower balloons that you can look at.


Well she wants me to make some balloon flowers to put in the vase. too bad I can't use my magic to . . . poof . . . make some appear. ;-)
