When I got the kids up this morning, I reminded Taylor that she had swimming lessons today, and therefore, all three kids would have a bath when we got home. Apparently, the boys took that as a challenge.  They colored with markers for a little while. I was proud of how calm they were, and they were proud of their beautiful drawings.

Thirty seconds. I stepped away for half of a minute to gather up the laundry that they unfolded moments earlier. I figured, they were content; I might as well get a few things done.  They were steps away from me. What could go wrong? The answer:

markers + momentarily unsupervised twin toddlers = mayhem 

They were very excited about their facial creations and were admiring the “boo boos” on each other’s face. At least they were washable markers!
