    My son Devin manages a family restaurant. Every Tuesday is Family Fun Tuesday, and Sam the Balloon Man comes in and twists up all kinds and sizes of balloons and makes cute little figures from them. The kids love it. I've taken various of my grandkids to see Sam the Balloon man at Uncle Devin's restaurant, and they enjoy it SO much. They leave with balloon swords, giraffes, helmets etc. He's very talented.

    Sam, who is also friends with Devin outside of the restaurant, has taken to costuming Devin in balloons! The patrons get a real kick out of seeing Mr. Manager Person attempting to work while garbed in some of the most ridiculous outfits you've ever seen.

    This week's theme was of course Christmasy, given the season.

    Have you ever????

    Devin looks less than thrilled-has Sam the Balloon Man lost a gig?
    Just kidding--very imaginative and Devin is a sweetheart to go along with the costuming!

    MG, Devin has the patience of a saint! He just sort of looks long-suffering lol! :)

    This is actually one of the less ridiculous getups, if you can believe that! I'll dig around and see if I can find some of the other pictures of the more outlandish getups, just for giggles! :)

    I love the idea of Sam the balloon man!! He has a great talent especially getting Devon to dress up like a Christmas tree. I'll bet the customers all enjoyed seeing him like that. :-D

    Devin is a cutie pie and Sam the Balloon Man is a very talented balloon man. It's all so very cute....

    Give them both a kiss for me but surely wait till after you get well to do that.
