Sharpie Disaster of 2010

All the kids are at school. It's just me and Wyatt. I'm thinking how nice it would be to have a normal hair day. With a bowl of cheeze crackers and an intriguing episode of Max & Ruby on the TV, I quietly slip off to take a 60 second shower. I take an extra minute or two, due to the lack of banging and screaming on the bathroom door. BIG mistake. HUGE!!
I see it. The moment I walk out of my bedroom is something that will stay with me forever. From my laundry room door to the entry way, covering the 13 feet of hallway, and around the corner to the bedroom doors is toddler art. Toddler Sharpie-permanent-marker-art. Wyatt is still at work when I find him. I'm speechless. This photo does not do it justice. This is all I have to say about it.

You have a TAYLOR! My journal entry of 13 years ago, "how am I seriously gong to make it through him. how is he going to make it. He is destroying everything in his wake. He is sneaky, destructive an very creative in what he destroys....." And look at him now. Kills primer and a fresh coat of paint should tide you over until the next time. Note to self: Remove all markers, crayons, nail polish, lip stick, make up, lotions, creams, knives, matches, scissors, sharp implements of any kind, chairs, stools or any oter item that may be used as a climbing deviseand take them out of the house for a very long time. This is advise from a very experienced, disaster poor sister.sbfee

Amy. I feel for you. I've had five kids successfully navigate toddlerhood, and only Hyrum has been a wall-writer. Miracle invention--Magic Eraser by MR. Clean. I've been able to even get sharpie out sometimes.
And congrats on the baby. When you due?
