As a parent, you know that time when the kids are finally in bed, you walk down the stairs, after saying Good Nights, kisses and hugs....you sigh as you hit the lights, turning them off.....another day is done. It is now OUR time as a PARENT to regain our SELF...relax, unwind, and perhaps prepare for the next day. This is what I normally do..until I went down to the basement, to the family room to turn off the lights and shut down the computer. As I reached the end of stairs, I noticed GREEN CRAYON on the walls and the door to the bathroom. As I entered the family room, there was GREEN CRAYON and BLACK CRAYON on the walls, chairs, and television(thank goodness its was an old clunker of a tv). I was mad and felt defeated.
I was mad at the kids for not putting the crayons away. Mad at myself, for I should have been down there....when its too quiet, you know they are up to no good! The kids would have been thankful that they were in bed when I saw it all. ALL I have to say is "thank goodness for Magic Erasers!!" I went through the room and hall cleaning away. The only problem...it kinda smudged the BLACK CRAYON into the wall....so this afternoon I cracked open the paint can and dipped my brush.....repainting the walls...such fun!!!
The guilty person....a young BOY not yet TWO, named ALEX. How do I know, he came upstairs last night with a BIG, THICK BLACK CRAYON....most likely looking for something else to decorate!
