BIG Trouble

Owen and Nora were "playing so well together" behind Owen's closed bedroom door. So well, that Mama and Auntie were enjoying a nice chat with each other and commenting on how we so rarely get to do that these days.....

We started to get suspicious. Auntie peeked in the cracked bedroom door and made a loud gasping sound... we opened the door to this:



They had colored themselves with markers... washable markers, thank goodness...
AND they had colored the walls...and the bed...and books... and the carpet(!)... and just about every surface in Owen's room.
After a bath and some brief damage control, the kids had a BIG talking to. Stern parenting voices were put forth... But, Auntie and Mama couldn't help but laugh. Seriously? How could two little kids do so much damage in 20 minutes...?
Thank you Crayola, for making washable markers.
