My artistic children...

Over the last two days, my children have driven my wife to the brink of...well, it's hard to say.

Let's just say, there's few priviliges left available to them right now.

Two days ago, Alexandra decided she'd get into abstract art all over the basement, and toys, etc. with a purple marker. Oh yes, then she decided to get into body painting both on herself and her sister. Pictures yet to be developed.

Today, both her and her brother decided to go into Senzenina's room early in the morning to play. Not an abnormal thing. They go in there and keep the baby busy and laughing. Except today they decided to take comedy to a new level and use props. And so they took a bottle of baby powder and proceeded to cover both them and the rest of the room in it.

They've spent much time on their bed the last few days.

Just the other day we were commenting on how we wanted to be careful not to hurt their artistic side, we're seriously reconsidering that....

Funny how it doesn't take much to change your mind, if it's significant enough.

On the good side, both Lucas and Alexandra have learned much about cleaning up over these last two days. I'm not sure it helped though. Ok, it helped Vun. A little.

Pictures to come in the near future, Vun forgets that we have a digital camera available now. I'll tell that story another time.

Why do children have to be so much like their parents. Someone should invent a pill, and really do something about that.
