Bad Mommy!

So the other day I put my girls in Lydia's room in hopes they would play together for a little bit so I could get the house cleaned. Well to my surprise they played so well. I checked to see and it had been over an hour. I kept thinking I don't want to go in there and disrupt them, usually they will play together for 20 minutes or so and then they get in a fight and sister time is OVER!!! Not this day though. Anyways I was cleaning my bathroom and could hear Auds approaching...in crawled the little stinker and she was COVERED in marker. I was horrified...I ran into Lydia's room expecting to see a room covered in marker...well pretty close both girls and their 5 foot teddy bear. I pulled them out and was trying to figure out what to do first (well after taking pictures.) Lydia kept asking "Are you going to put me in time out?" Now usually miss-use of markers is time out worthy but this time I just couldn't...I was the bad mom that thought, I am just going to leave them. We had a big talk about not using the markers to draw on ourselves, at which point Lydia informed me she just wanted to look like a tiger, and so did Audrey and Teddy. Anyways after a good bath, and scrubbing Teddy with carpet cleaner they were all marker free! I had to laugh, especially at Audrey because she was just as happy as can be! Lydia even went as far as to put red marker on Audrey's lips so it looked like a creepy combination of the Joker and chucky...ha ha ha! Anyways I love my girls, and even though I don't love cleaning up markers I love to think of them getting along and being best friends...something I never had the chance to have!

Lydia knew she was in trouble and when I got in there she was in the bathroom trying to wipe it off, so her picture is slightly less obvious how bad it was.

Audrey on the other hand was clueless as to what she looked like (ha ha ha!)

I had to post this little gem, our Simon is so creative...we love finding where he is going to be hiding every day (ha ha ha!)
