Top 10 Reasons Why it's Good to Have All Girls #3

#3: Creative Color Coordinating: Claire has found a new hobby...munching on markers. Claire is very sneaky in this endeavor. She takes markers from Amy when neither Amy nor mommy are looking. Then she hides. Claire likes to experiment with different colors (and her 5 senses). So, sometimes they mix. But Crayola has made things way more complicated. It's not just "green" anymore. It's "mountain meadow". And with all this creative color coordinating, we must match Claire's skin tone with "piggy pink", her eyes with "beaver", and her hair with "desert sand". (Shout out to Crayola for always making their products non-toxic!)

Jackson colored his uncle's cat's face with a marker this week

hahaha, that's too funny. Yes I agree...thanks for non-toxic & washable markers.

Haha, Scarlett likes to think the markers work as fingernail paint as well. However she is indifferent as to the color, and furthermore it somehow ends up on her clothes, (The markers we have here aren't Crayola, unfortunetly)

Colorwonder (although annoying slow to appear) don't stain anything in my house! (I let Kaitlyn have one yesterday thinking it was safe and she ate half the tip!) All our 'real' washable markers are up on a high shelf. So, mine find calligraphy pens and dry erase markers of mine and put marks on cute clothing and mommy's quilt...and those are "undelible on porous surfaces" (=you can't get it out!)

I think Jackson draws a mural on himself every other day and also paints his nails with them. I guess he's watch me paint fingernails too many times! Isn't it funny how the things that drive us crazy like this now will be the things we will laugh at later? (And cackle at when we witness our grandchildren do it one day!)
