paint fight!

not being able to go to the lake for labor day was upsetting,

but not as quite upsetting as the fact that

cute kyle was leaving in two days and none of us had gotten to spend time with him.

so, the plan was formulated: epic paint fight at the lions park as kyle's final hurrah.

everything was ready: the paint and squirt guns bought, the old clothes put on, the camerawomen ready to take some beautiful shots...but one thing was missing.

...kyle.

and this is when we were informed that kyle wasn't going to make it in time because he was in delta spending time with his family.

:(

well, the show must go on!

(mostly because i already had my paint-pants on.)

so we shook up the paint cans...

and opened them...

then even tested the guns...

got our war faces on...

and were ready for battle.

all hell broke loose.

my theory is... since i was the only girl, it was "soak brielle until she's so covered in paint she'll never recover" day.

i guess being a girl doesn't make you much more than a moving target in the land of paint.

but revenge is sweet, my friends.

tip to borg: don't mess with the girl.

somehow, we eventually managed to end the fight, put aside all hard feelings, and pose for a group picture. (:

but the damage was done.

my hair was coated in paint.

my teeth were painted yellow.

my shoes & bra will never be the same again.

and i have personal vendettas against these three young men.

...and with good reason!

i spent a good hour scrubbing myself, and i'm still finding paint in places i didn't even know could get dirty!

all i can say is...

boys, watch your backs.

♥ me.
