Free Post with a Twist

So I will try to use as many of these words as I can...

Alrighty, so an avocation of mine has always been art, and ever since Thanksgiving break I was somewhat inducted  into the staff position at an art camp that, until I turned 15, was a volunteer at, which was really awesome as well.  It was not any less work there or any less fun to be had there, the exact opposite really.

So earlier today I got to work at the Arts Council for a couple hours while 30 or so kids came to paint canvases for Zoes restaurant so that they can be viewed and sold later this month.  It was tacit that I wear clothes that  I didn't mind getting paint on, which I did, and subsequently got paint all over my hands.  The children, about half of them I knew from camp, were surprisingly not as raucous  as I at first thought they were going to be.  Sure they were noisy, but well behaved- they didn't mess with the work on the gallery walls- this work looks amazing- and they were quiet enough that you could hear yourself think and have a conversation with one while the others carried on talking.  Their demeanor was very nice for being a weekend and paint and a room with that as well as candy and cookies to eat. 

No children made another one feel like a pariah and all of their work turned out looking nicely, although not the work of an artistic prodigy to my knowledge, and will look nice hanging on the walls of the restaurant.  Some of the kids there were proteges and protegees of some of the erudite artists helping there, having been taking some lessons from them and what not.  Another staff member was here helping me with pouring all the paint colors on the plates and refilling the water and washing the brushes and such and, i must say, we are pretty adroit at dealing with acrylic paint in an art gallery full of children from the ages of 5 to around 10. 

The two hours lapsed quite fast and after the definitive "Thanks for coming and hope you come to our holiday camp..." speeches, we picked up all the trash and paint and brushes and put them all back downstairs in the museum. After this, the other staff member and I talked about how she would be crusading to try and get all the paint off her nails for her date( did I use this right??) and then went to go do some paperwork.  Finally, we talked about the themes for this summers camp which go from mermaids to tiaras and from monsters to pirates.  It will be exciting and we are both excited for that.

Well thats all the words I can use...

I would really like to know if I used any of these words wrong, so if I did please tell me! OK, well time to go wash all the paint off my hands...
