After my sentimental post of yesterday (which, by the way, you should read BEFORE you read this one!), and everyone's nice comments back, it was a sweet reminder that I need to do all that I can to appreciate these days when they are young.
Of course, the joy was short-lived.
When I went downstairs this morning to finish getting ready for my sister-in-law's visit, I found that Becky and Josh had taken markers and ran a nice little circle around the room coloring the walls. They had also colored the computer and all the chairs. Nice.
So today, I will tell you that while I am loving and appreciating them, I am also thinking that they are stinkin', rotten kids (at least while I wash the walls).

OH NO! It makes me sick to even think about. Who ever invented markers, obviously wasn't thinking clearly. Happy Scrubing!
It is good I read your posts in chronological order and not the order that they appear on the screen. Was the "art work" at least abstract in some way? You may have a Picasso on your hands. I am sure his mother cleaned a lot of walls too!
I've had one of those weeks with Mathison, and I'm still trying to figure out if he's a rotten little angel,or a wonderful little devil!
Does Becky want to come over and play?
Argh!!! Urge to kill rising...
Where are the old pictures?
Why were you cleaning the walls? Here's a sponge... Josh & Becky- get to work! J/K I know it was probably one of those moments when you said,"Run!" and wanted them to stay in their room for hours. I've got 2 words... Magic Eraser. The best invention in the history of moms (and dads, at my house)in the modern world.
Did they at least get to clean off some of their artwork?
