our little artists...

Megan and Patrick gave us a great gift! They had tickets to Carowinds that they couldn't use (something about roller coasters being bad for babies in utero). So Megan came over this afternoon to watch our kids so Sarah and I could have a fun date at the park! We had a blast running around the park hitting all the roller coasters (we haven't been to an amusement park in about 5 or 6 years)!

I called Megan at some point in the evening to see how things were going and I got the "well, things are going okay..." response meaning not good. Evidently, the girls went upstairs to play (which they play by themselves fantastically upstairs) while Megan was cooking dinner. Well, Kyla has recently discovered that the top of my dresser is easily accessible with the help of a chair or stool. And evidently, Sarah had found some lipstick earlier in the day and placed it on my dresser...and you can guess the rest.

They ran into our bathroom with the lipstick and proceeded to smear it all over their faces and hands and then wipe their hands all over the cabinets, door, towel, and WALLS! Megan said she was in shock when she discovered it and did a great job cleaning the cabinets with our weak, hippie, no-chemical cleaners! It's crazy because they've never come close to doing something like that before, but I guess there's a first time for everything!

Here are some pictures of the door and wall (which I was able to get the door totally clean and the wall at least doesn't look like it's covered with bloody handprints). Good times.
