Extreme Marker Makeover

There is N-E-V-E-R a dull moment in our house. Monday evening Clay took Rylee to check the cows & Caly stayed with me while I cooked supper. She was in the playroom which is off the kitchen so I checked on her periodically. I suppose the Blacksher girls have a thing for green markers because when Rylee was the same age she had an encounter with a green marker. Needless to say we haven't gotten around to sanding & refinishing 2 of the drawers in the playroom bathroom : ) I just THOUGHT Caly had crayons,,,,OH NO,,,,it was markers. Since Rylee is in Pre-K & learning to write, etc she is very creative & uses ALL forms of anything that will write or draw on paper! At first I thought she had just marked on her hands with the marker. I didn't realize she had given herself a "Marker Makeover". To top it off we have reverted to using a pacifier since she is super teething. 20 months old & only has 6 full sized teeth. The others are breaking through,,,finally. I couldn't help but laugh & take pictures. She looked like she had some crazy wiskers which is fitting because everyone calls her "Caly Cat" & she was giggling trying to get the camera! A dry erase marker comes off quite easy on little cheeks,,,thank goodness. I'm just glad she didn't use the black permanent one that was on the floor next to that one. We had to have the "pick up your toys" talk AGAIN with Rylee. Needless to say she had a good rub-a-dub in the tub!
