Snort! That picture is priceless. Oh the joys of kids. My 6 year old (who should know better) wrote her name on my kitchen floor with a sharpie a few weeks ago. The fool kid then had the nerve to say "It wasn't me!"
well THAT will teach you for cleaning out your fridge... what could you possibly have been thinking not giving 100% of your focus, time and energy only to Miss. Ky? Clearly she needed to decorate her world to brighten it from your clear lack of care and general abandonment of her.
Kids. Sheesh.
Olivia full on drew on the walls this week, poured blueberry juice on my the off-whiteish carpet, drew with a pen on my leather couch, drew with a permanent marker on my kitchen table, took a crayon to the TV screen, and dumped a bottle of soy sauce inside my fridge.
They are out to kill us those two "adorable" daughters of ours!!
We had a wall in the basement that the kids could draw on. That worked pretty good, but I guess the 'horse' is already out of the barn.
I had red kool-aid spilled on my white carpet and the carpet cleaning guy used a steam iron with a white tea towel, and steamed the stain out. I was amazed.
Now, the kids are gone, so I have only the hubs and myself to blame for spills, stains, etc.
Marker or makeup? Jason's been getting into my makeup lately. Figures, I get a girl who's all boy, and now a boy who is girly. Good luck getting it out of the carpet.
I had a day like that Christmas day. My mom gave my children stamp pads for Christmas. My carpet in my family room looks more like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese than anything else.
Your little pink angel looks precious. Keep reminding yourself that one day this will hold much comedic value.
That is one cute face!!! What a doll. And what was the fuss about...oh, the marker on the face. I have one that permanently has marker somewhere on her body. Tonight she had me take a wet wipe to wash all her arm decorations off. She decided she was tired of it...for now! Oh, I hope she gets it out of her system for life and this isn't any indication of tattooing in the future!
Oh My! (snicker) But just look at how creative she was and hot pink is a girl's best friend at 3 or 4, right? She was only trying to imitate the clown face she had a few posts ago.
Luckily, Clorox will take just about any stain out of a white carpet... except nail polish. Please say it's not nail polish!
Our daughter was cut from the same cloth at that age... and beyond. ALWAYS getting into messes. Come to think of it, so was I, LOL! Paybacks are hell.
Perhaps Miss Ky needs a girly entertainment area where she can paint, draw, do little girl makeup, etc. I'd be sure to line it in plastic...
What a cute post. And funny. But I do feel sorry for you. My kids have never drawn on anything, but my daughter cut her hair in a bad way once... The photo of your daughter is priceless though! :)
I so feel your pain!!! I have been there and know that sinking feeling when the "face" first shows itself! LOL! Congrats on the "Post of the Week"! Hugs SueAnn
Oooooh dear. Well, parenthood is...more rewarding some days than others? Umm...a bit of a test at times? May cause incidental baldness?
Heaven help you, that really must have been an "Oof!" moment. You know if comics where someone slugs the hero, and the thought bubble reads: "Oof!" Kind of like that. Turn around, confronted by Pretty in Pink, bit of "Oof!", yes?
Ah well, on the upside, she's adorable. I hope the stains came out of the rug.
My son's nineteen and I can honestly say he never did decorate any walls or floors. He did have something of wild imagination, combine that with the fact that his paternal grandmother would turn on the children's programming of the time when she babysat him, so the dread Power Rangers were introduced to him that way.
One time, as we were checking out at the grocery store, my then six-year-old son turned to me, with a gigantic grin, and boomed out into one of those weird silences that sometimes overtakes a normally bustling area: "Mommy, are you going to put me in the cage when we get home?"
Thankfully he was obviously a well cared for, happy, clearly healthy kid because I nearly dropped dead as a preemptive measure, and every eye in the store turned towards us, as I with a look of complete horror on my face I boomed right back, "Oh God, what did Grandma let you watch now?!?"
The entire place dissolved into laughter, but holy smokes, we didn't even have so much as a birdcage in our house. To this day, no clue where that came from, at all.
Parenting: It's fun in ways they never tell you about before you embark on the deal. Totally worth it, and all, but it's an adventure and then some.
Congratulations on making Hilary's POTW list! I'm a grandma so I haven't experienced that particular art form in my house for quite a few years but I can definitely say, "Been there, done that!"
I see that she has learned the secret feminine art of making up one's face. Much the same as my daughter, whose nostrils are still blue inside from last week's Sharpie episode.
I am so glad God gave her to you. I would have put her in chains already. Bless your heart. seems she is old enough to use a cleaning rag herself now...
NOOOOOOO!!!! I feel that pain deeply. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Well, you know, pretty in pink and all that. The white carpet too, you say? Ay-yi-yi!
ReplyDeleteUgh! Another child on bread and water. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now you need to find somewhere to hide the pink colours!!
ReplyDeleteCJ xx
I don't suppose that having a little extra bright color in the house compensates for the stains?
ReplyDeleteThrow rugs?? Move out in the middle of the night??
Oh no!!!! What a sight that must have been to see. I hope it was wash off marker. :)
ReplyDeleteSnort! That picture is priceless. Oh the joys of kids. My 6 year old (who should know better) wrote her name on my kitchen floor with a sharpie a few weeks ago. The fool kid then had the nerve to say "It wasn't me!"
ReplyDeleteSo now everything is "pretty in pink?" How "lovely!"
ReplyDeletewell THAT will teach you for cleaning out your fridge... what could you possibly have been thinking not giving 100% of your focus, time and energy only to Miss. Ky? Clearly she needed to decorate her world to brighten it from your clear lack of care and general abandonment of her.

I hope it was washable marker. PB has never drawn on her face only her arms and legs.

They grow up and leave too soon!
I never understand how kids get the idea that their body is a blank canvas.
ReplyDeleteShe looks quite proud of her work, though!
you have "the life" jeri. seriously. :) you will laugh about it is years to come...and probably "yearS" is the proper term.
ReplyDeleteMarker or makeup?
ReplyDeleteJason's been getting into my makeup lately. Figures, I get a girl who's all boy, and now a boy who is girly.
Good luck getting it out of the carpet.
Oh no! So sorry
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just spit my salad everywhere. That'll teach you to clean!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! SO funny. I can't stop laughing. She is adorable! See what you get for cleaning... : )
ReplyDeleteOne day, in the future, she won't need to draw lines on her face!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet valentine...
ReplyDeletepink--it's perfect for the season!
ReplyDeleteKaye—the road goes ever ever on
Soooo..... I take it this wasn't washable marker?
ReplyDeleteAy-yi-yi.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
OH NO!!
ReplyDeletewashable, I hope.
ReplyDeletebut the picture is precious. it tells so much of the story, just in her face. almost worth it? almost?
I had a day like that Christmas day. My mom gave my children stamp pads for Christmas. My carpet in my family room looks more like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese than anything else.
ReplyDeleteYour little pink angel looks precious. Keep reminding yourself that one day this will hold much comedic value.
haha. i have to boys...and blue paint stains on my carpet for just such an incident.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute face!!! What a doll. And what was the fuss about...oh, the marker on the face. I have one that permanently has marker somewhere on her body. Tonight she had me take a wet wipe to wash all her arm decorations off. She decided she was tired of it...for now! Oh, I hope she gets it out of her system for life and this isn't any indication of tattooing in the future!
ReplyDeleteShe is priceless.. and perfect for Valentine's Day. She won't look the camera in the eye.. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh My! (snicker) But just look at how creative she was and hot pink is a girl's best friend at 3 or 4, right? She was only trying to imitate the clown face she had a few posts ago.

No way can the tile and the white carpet be that pretty. She is gorgeous! And dangerous. ;)
ReplyDeleteDid you get it all out of the carpet and off the tile?
I'm coming to the conclusion blue pens are the answer. It's only the pink ones that Peaches seems to want to use as nail varnish and lipstick.
ReplyDeleteLovely! When she's a makeup artist to the stars, you can sell this photo to the paparazzi.
ReplyDeleteHee, hee! Cute .... oh, what little ones can do with a few spare minutes! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog the other day!

Awwww...and she's STILL adorable!
ReplyDeletethat photo alone made it worth the mess
ReplyDeleteCongrats on POTW mention from Hilary
This is why we don't clean out our refrigerator -- we just let the stuff evolve legs and walk out on it's own.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's not the ONLY reason...
Congratulations on making Hilary's POTW list! I'm a grandma so I haven't experienced that particular art form in my house for quite a few years but I can definitely say, "Been there, done that!"
ReplyDeletewell one has to do something while mom is busy, right?!
ReplyDeleteSheeee chaaaaaaanneled Evvvvvie!!!!! They can be pink Sharpie sistas!!
ReplyDeleteI see that she has learned the secret feminine art of making up one's face. Much the same as my daughter, whose nostrils are still blue inside from last week's Sharpie episode.
ReplyDeleteyou still alive over there? Haven't heard from you in a few days and just wanted to check in!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad God gave her to you. I would have put her in chains already. Bless your heart. seems she is old enough to use a cleaning rag herself now...
ReplyDeletePlace that picture in a bank vault, insurance against her placing you in a home in your dotage..
ReplyDeleteOoooh, they never tell you these things BEFORE you get pregnant, do they? (Giggle)
Ah, another fan of Pink ! Someday you will miss these days. Smile!
