I thought I had the answer!

Joshua and Katerina have been so infatuated with their crayons and
markers lately, I would let them colour for hours. They absolutely loved it.

So, this morning, I thought they were in the dining room colouring. Or
so I thought.

Katerina discovered that you can bite the tips off of the markers. Of
course, Joshua has to do the same. Sigh. Katerina came to me with a
marker that she couldn't open and her mouth and hands were *so* black!
So out of 24 markers, they have 4 left. I have a dining room carpet that
looks like it came down with Chicken Pox. Thankfully, the markers were
the washable type.

The things they discover continue to amaze me! :-)

Oh Brigitte! I can just imagine the mess. Even if it is washable, I bet that
was so difficult to clean. As if you can bend over at this point!!

I'm sure it will be hilarious when you recall this when your children call you
up complaining about the messes their children are making!

Brigitte,

You are a brave mom! I wouldn't *dream* of giving mine markers. They probably
won't even touch a marker until kindergarten! BTW, I hope you got pictures

Well, they are (were) the washable kind. Actually, I had run out of
film (bad mommy!) so I didn't get any pictures. :-(

Kathleen and Chris stomped a pound of grapes on the floor once (around the
same age) and complained that the "floor was sticky" after 3 scrubbings!

We just gave each of my kids a set of markers (non-washable). I
didn't like the idea, but my wife talked me into it. So far, it's
been OK (knocking on wood).
