Busy adding new designs - but don’t worry … the classics remain. You can still get your crowns, frogs, swords, monkeys, and hats.

Changes made ….
Added another wearable category: Rings - my engagement ring will hopefully spur on romance and save gentlemen $10K a pop. My next event is a college one - perfect timing to add this option. Added about 20 designs overall. A few designs changed from being on the “Only if there are 3 or less in line” list. For example, the “Loch Ness Monster” can now be asked for at any time with more ninja (another new option) fast hands experience making that possible.

Slightly changed my top 10 but “Baby Jesus” still holds the #1 spot.

Stayed the same: past designs - I may have only received 1 “tadpole” request in the last couple years but I’m proud of that design so I’ll keep it. No clip art - the mystery is a MAJOR part of the fun. Little to no designs based on screen time/TV characters - after all, it rots our brain. "T Rex eating a lawyer" still squeaked into my top 10 - perhaps I'm holding a grudge that a law firm has never hired me.

Get something new or ask your “I’ll take the usual” in 2026

I’m personally not a believer that aliens are real (but know they’d have 3 bellybuttons) but this lady is. What’s your take?

Next week is the “Week of the Young Child” - I’ve historically done several daycare shows that week - feel free to tag your provider here - I have done them other times throughout the year as well.

Short kids deserve balloons too I say

Hope you are having a great Easter weekend with your family as we remember Christ's sacrifice for us at Calvary.

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!

If you're local and need a place to go feel free to join me at Calvary Evangelical Free Church, Spring Grove 10:45 Easter service or any future weeks.

Tizzy. Panic. Distraught. Flustered. I am just all out of sorts today. After years of work on Balloons For Tiny Humans: A Mr. Rogers with Muscles Guide to Life I forgot to save (in my opinion anyway) the penultimate chapter - Chapter 29: Ambidextrous Bo**er Pickers & the file is unfortunately lost for good. Don’t worry though, I should have it rewritten by April 2nd since I have vast experience dealing with this population + there’s a significant crossover with Chapter 48: Negotiating with Toddlers anyway to get you by in the meantime if you decide to order your copy today (instructions elsewhere in this album).

Truth be told, I’m never in a tizzy. In fact, I’ve observed how the role of the father could be defined by 8 words - To ensure his family never has to panic. While not a father, having a “Mr. Rogers with Muscles” approach means people don’t have to panic around me either & the analogy holds for leaders in general.

Were/are you an ambidextrous bo**er picker? Nowadays, I have the manners & decency to only do it when no one is watching.

We truly care about our employees here - every so often we offer our “employee of the month” the option of a paid vacation, pay bump, or pizza party. This time, Kevin earned this reward and as usual he picked the pizza party since he doesn’t take vacations (he argues we already live in the best part of the world) and is content with his financial situation. He was thrilled and, I quote, “This is great - thank you. It’s at least twice the portion I got at my school pizza party in the 3rd grade!”

He’s really hoping this gracious gift + his free meals he often gets at events + his (he’s too humble to brag about it) “A Country Boy Can Survive” skillset means he’ll spend about $2-3/day on food or 3 figures on the year. That along with his 4 figures spending on himself and 5 figures spending on others w/ Blue Collar Christ will make for a great 2026.

If you ask me, it’s perfect irony that someone in a definite “luxury” profession rejects that for themselves. Being in “show biz” it’s important to have some high maintenance traits though. This is why when new clients (who assume he’ll be high maintenance) ask him if he needs anything, he responds with ….
“Some chocolate covered strawberries would be nice.” Kevin assumes they know it’s a joke since they’ve never felt obligated to give him any. I don’t think he would turn them down though.

How does your boss show gratitude to you?
