Mischief & Art

So, tonight after dinner, the boys were coloring in the dining room while I was washing dishes in the kitchen.  Lex left that room for about three minutes, and he was very quiet, wherever he went.  We he came back, he showed me his marker-covered hands, and asked me to clean him.

You see, he had gone into the other room to color on himself.  With the black marker.



I informed him that he was too messy for me to simply wipe clean, and that he would need to have a bath.  Like, right now.  He disagreed, but in the end, decided to comply.  Something about a blue Mr. Bubbles fizzy bath changed his mind.

And when he was getting into the bath, I noticed that he had colored all over his skin *under* his clothes.  That's right, you can't even see half of the marker on this child in that photo.
