My, my, my. These children are getting more and more entertaining every day.

I have a tendency to throw away toys that are too messy (e.g. playdough or sets with too many parts). I don't know what I was thinking when I bought the kids art sets for Christmas. They loved snapping their crayons and markers in and out of the plastic carriers, but I could only handle a few days of that. I put all of their crayons, markers, and colored pencils in a bag and put the bag up high. Connor has shot up in height recently and knows that he can access anything by pushing a chair up to something. Thus, crayons and markers have been making their way out of that bag, one by one.

Connor is fine with them and asks to, "do art". Alaina will wait until I am not watching and kamikaze color.

Purple appears to be her color of choice. Being the creative thing that she is, she is not held back by artistic mediums. Her range includes purple sparkly nail polish (conveniently on beige microfiber chairs).

At least I have a little robot. Now if only this robot would learn to clean, ala Rosie from the Jetsons.

Oh my goodness! Looks like you have your hands full! Now that Connor can reach everything, what are your options? Locking doors? Wow...I've heard that the Magic Eraser stuff works great for cleaning, if you need the tip;) And have Alaina clean with you so she learns!

I like the peeking through the slit picture.
