Busted!

December 20, 2008 by abbie 37 Comments

I really thought I might make it through the adventure of motherhood without having a child color their face with a marker.  I thought I was going to get off scott-free and never have a photo like this to enjoy 20 years from now:

elliott-marker-1

However, as you can see, today was that special day in my life.   As I was putting a log on the fire, I hear little footsteps come around the corner.  I turned to look and there she was…a bit unsure and perhaps nervous about my reaction.  I tried not to laugh!  Honest!  But those big gorgeous eyes staring up at me and that scribble on her forehead…she was irresistible.  I laughed a bit as I invesigated.

There were two questions in my mind:

1) Was this  self-inflicted forehead art or was there a big brother to blame?

2) Was this a permanent marker or a washable one?

The answer to the first question lies in her expression in this picture:

elliott-marker-2

“Guilty as charged, Mommy!  You knew purple was my favorite color!!”

Answer to question 2, you ask?  It was a dry erase marker that I found uncapped on the breakfast room floor.  The good news:  it washes right off with a bit of water.

Consider this mommy officially broken in to the world of forehead art.

    Hehe…Jilli does this every chance she gets, and it’s usually a purple marker too, and she colors her nose. Great shots! I don’t think I took a picture, duh. Silly girls!

    Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
    Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
    With thanks

    Howdy! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you
    know how to make your site mobile friendly?

    My site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone.
    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate
    it!

    I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for
    me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made
    good content as you did, the net will be
    a lot more useful than ever before.
