Magic Marker Monday — Improvisation…

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”

Hmmmmm… what to do when Mom restricts access to the Sharpie markers…

What to do, what to do…

I know! Improvise!

Yup. A plain old ball point pen will do nicely in a pinch.

(Oh, and don’t tell Mom, but I colored her shopping list for her when she wasn’t looking. Won’t she be surprised!)

    I also have photographic evidence of my now 27 year old with blood red nail polish on her legs. I didn’t want to put acetate on her ‘baby’ skin so we just had to wait for it to wear off.
    Cheers

    LOL! I think both of our little ones were thinking along the same lines this weekend, as Emma has blue marker all over her hands and legs. LOL

    I am playing along this week.

    I enjoy peeking in and participated once but wasn’t sure, can anyone play along? Neither of my littles are special needs, does that matter?
