Yeah we have been through the sharpie down the hall on the floor, dining room table and of course Jaelyn’s body. She has amazed us at the many creative ways to use products in our home that i didn’t know possible. One that stands out… of her many adventures with the toilet was when I walked in the door of the bathroom as she was bringing the toothbrush in hand from the toilet bowl to her mouth. You would think that hopefully this would be the first of the dips, however her mouth was soaking wet along with her clothes. Mmmm….breakfast anyone?

What a sweet picture you paint. Poor thing must have realized that she might just be in trouble. How relieve her mama’s open arms must have been to her.

On the other hand it must have been hard to hide your laughter. Not much more that you could but laugh.

This really is a sweet post. I think I am really liking you.

Hahahahaha! That is funny! And touching! One day Isaac made me an art project. He was 3 and he was soooo proud. He brought me a paper with lots of holes in it. It took me a minute, but then I asked “My sweet little love, where did you make mommy’s beautiful art?” So he showed me the leather ottoman. Yep, I don’t buy nice things ANYMORE. But I will say that in that moment looking at my one of few nice pieces, and seeing his face when he brought me the art, and his worry when he saw the ottoman with me, I knew his spirit and how I reacted was so much more important than any possession I have or will have. I still have that “art”.

Dusty, you just told me last week that your taste was changing…sure you didn’t put that sweet girl up to this!

Ooookkayyy! ha! Here is one…one time, when Debbie & Tracy were 2 & 3 yrs old, we were at my parents house, & my Dad said, “we will just burn the house down & start over” I went into the dinning room, D & T had colored the entire wall with crayons. Another time….my sister was supposed to be watching D & T, while I did dishes at my parents, 1970’s now, they had gotten into my brothers paint for his model cars? Painted their legs silver…lol, a chore getting that off. ha! Then one time in Germany, back before cordless phones? I was on phone, there was a bookcase dividing livng rm, & dining room, T was on the other side of it, coloring HARD the wall , RED! yes…RED! ha! She did some scrubbing, she was only 3 at the time, but she helped me. funny to think about now! Buttt, NOT then. But I was alot younger! You asked for it! ha!

At age 5 Alex decided to cut his hair, which was one BIG gap and was proceding to cut Morgan’s (age 2), when I heard them giggle behind our couch on Rainbow Circle. Thank goodness I retrieved the sissors, in the nick of time! And yes, I have a cut in my comforter too, from one of the kids school projects but nothing like your artist!

Oh the stories I could tell about my Sammy… I pictured your comforter to be so much worse only because I’m so use to my little blessings. Thanks be to God that He loves us no matter what kind of mess we make. I have made some whoppers in my life time and I always run Him and He always takes me in His loving arms. Great blog, Anna is precious.
