Oh Emma!

So I just put the girls upstairs to watch a movie before they go to bed and as I am moving their TV table I noticed an empty can of soup in a basket on the table. My first thought was, "Oh great, they got into this and probably dumped it somewhere!"...So I ask what the can was all about and Emma pipes up and says, "I am recycling Mom!"...."See, I have the plastics in that basket and the cans in this one"....And she totally did, she had 2 plastic water bottles in one basket and that can of soup in the other. I cracked up and said, "Well honey, it good to recycle, but not in your bedroom, lol"....She just looked at me and said, "Well its good for the earth".....Yes, Yes it is my dear! What a cute kid!

Body Art...or NOT!

So my 4 year old is really into drawing....on her body that is! I thought that after the last time this happened (which was minor compared to this mornings mishap) that I had confiscated all of the markers from the girls bedroom. Well apparently not! Graci awoke about midnight and came in my room because she had to go potty...so we walked to the potty in the dark because why turn lights on? Anyway, I noticed some dark circles on her back and thought "Oh great, the Marker Monster has struck again"...well instead of making a big deal of it right then and there, I thought I would just deal with it in the morning. Well as I am in the bathroom getting ready I hear, "GRACI.....what the hell is all over your body????".....that was Bobby....so I went out in the living room and saw 2 grapefruit sized circles on her back of BLUE marker, drawings on her legs, a big circle on her elbow, her lips were painted, her hands were all blue....so I made her get in the tub real quick to at least get some off (because OF COURSE these aren't washable...they are the smelly ones that we used as a kid...Mr. Sketch or something like that...My mom got them for Emma's bday)....so as Graci is in the tub, she looks at me with those big blue eyes and says, "Well at least I will smell good...like blueberries"....LMAO....yeah I guess so!

So anyway that was the first part of the story...the second kid hadn't quite woke up yet! So Emma come barrelling down the stairs yelling that she had blue marker ALL over and she didn't do it...she swears! Poor thing h ad no idea that the Marker Monster had struck! Poor Emma had marker drawings all over her back, legs, hands...etc. See...my girls go to bed in separate beds but end up in one..and Graci just so happened to do all of this in Emma's bed. Well anyway, Emma was devastated!

So that was pretty much my morning....LMAO...kids...gotta love 'em!
