A. is a budding artist. She loves to make things, whether it's crafts or just coloring. She is your typical two year old. This morning she was feeling very artistic. She found some stickers and decided to decorate herself with as many of them as she could. Unfortunately for mom, they weren't really stickers. Instead she had found my roll of forever stamps and had pulled them all off the roll and covered herself with them. I think she had enough postage on her to make it to China and back. Mom was not very happy and I did try to salvage as many of my stamps as I could. It wasn't very many.
After that I went upstairs to start gathering the laundry. It was then that I noticed her newest creation. It was a lovely red shade all over the wall in the game room. I thought it was just in the two spots that I found. When I scolded A. for coloring the walls, she them proudly proceeded to show me all her other artwork. There were four lovely A. originals, all on my walls. I don't know when she did these but it had to have been this weekend some time.
I guess she just wanted to draw me a beautiful Mothers Day card. At least that is what I'm telling myself otherwise I'm likely to let her re stamp herself and I'll drop her off in the mail and let her make it to China. I guess it's all in a day's work for a budding artist.

LOL! I know this wasn't funny at all fo ryou but I have to tell you, reading this I got such a chuckle! I can totally picture Ella doing this-oh and guess what--she has! Permanent marker on my hard wood floors and herself before we moved from NY! :D
Oh No about the stamps!! And the walls!!! They are a freakin' handful - aren't they?!?
Have a good evening - Kellan
My oldest did the same thing when he was two, only he used a yellow highlighter. After the initial discovery and scolding, he proudly showed me all the other places he had colored. We followed a yellow line around the house from spot to spot, kind of like Harold and his purple crayon. Because it wasn't a dark color, it was hard to see. BTW, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works great on making crayon and marker go away.
