I love having an (almost) 4 year old and 2 year old. Judah and Samuel play so well together and entertain each other 95% of the time. While they're playing pirates, building castles, watching a movie, or playing on the computer I'm able to feed Silas, do the dishes, and laundry and sit down and rest (every so often).
Although, there are those times that I lay Silas down and come out to a special surprise. Sometimes I rush out to one boy screaming with bite marks on his arm and the other looking sheepish. Other times I come out to their artwork. There's been a lot of artwork lately. It's probably because Eric and I don't hide the pens and crayons well enough (we've, hopefully, taken care of that). Thank goodness most of it scrubs off!
Permanent marker on Kung fu Panda. Eric had already scrubbed if off the portable dvd player. (Not pictured- permanent marker on the frisbee and other miscellaneous toys in Judah's room)

I'm never quite sure who the actual artist is on each project, as the story always changes. My guess is that they're usually a joint effort. I'm sure they'll continue to work with such teamwork for the rest of their lives!
Thank you for those of you who replied to my Prop 8 post. I'd love to hear more, if you haven't commented yet (or even if you have)!
That's what my couch looks like too, and the walls in the playroom. Bella is really into pens lately and I also seem to be bad at hiding them. Permanent markers however are VERY well hidden, I do not want to have to deal with that. It's amazing the damage two toddlers can do when they work together.
ReplyDeletemaybe judah needs an easel for his birthday???? i love that you took pictures of their artwork. evidence as i like to call it. judah's face is hillarious with kung fu panda. its like he's saying, "see?"
ReplyDeleteThis is a phase I think all kids have to go through. You should have seen my walls with Princess K (she is an artist through and through) and Little Man. Now, I have a bucket full of paper and Baby G who is approaching that phase is only allowed crayons or colored pencils. We are teaching her paper only, I hope it works. I have all the markers completely hidden for fear it doesn't ;)
ReplyDeleteTwo words!: Magic Eraser.
ReplyDeleteWorks on everything. ;)
Oh Morgan! You have such a positive attitude, I admire you!
ReplyDeleteJaiden's made some fine art work too. We told him he couldn't draw on the walls, so he drew on the doors instead. Good boy!
ReplyDeleteBTW, the Dollar store has all kinds of pirate stuff in stock right now--hats and swords and such--for your lil' pirates.
I'm with Trishie - magic eraser is AWESOME!
