Artists and Biters

Lately I have been really struggling with Kendall to contain her creative juices to paper. She insists on coloring on anything that is near the pen/marker/pencil in her precious little hand! I don't think she intentionally wants to color on things she shouldn't, it's just a really bad habit she has gotten into. Here is some of her latest artwork.


My carpet...



Her sister's bed...


Her closet...



My table...


Thank heaven for Mr. Clean Magic Eraser because it really is magic.

We have managed to get through our first 2 children without them hitting or biting others. Let's just say the 3rd time is the charm. Does this adorable little boy look like he would bite you?


He has six teeth now and loves to use them when he is excited about something. Mostly on me and occasionally on his sisters. Never on other children and never on Matt. It must be some guy code. At least he doesn't bite just to bite yet and I hope it never gets to that point.

Carson, you look like my son. A terrible monster in disguise of a beautiful boy. Don't bite your mommy anymore. :)

Our third writes on everything. I'll have to try the magic eraser. I just found permanant black marker on my kitchen table yesterday!! The older kids chore chart now has a chore that is to pick up all pencils, markers, pens. We'll see if this helps.

He's too cute to be a biter. Girls must just taste sweeter.

He doesn't look like a baby I'd be suspicious of....Oh...I have a baby toy that you left behind at Stake Conference. We'll have to get together to play sometime so we can return it! It keeps making noises in my church bag.

Love magic erasers, don't know what we'd do without them other than have lots of great drawings we didn't ask for on the wall, they do need a magic carpet eraser, that would be awesome!

ahhh! I know Braezer is headed that way. She's already colored all over herself. Yes, she quite the biter too. I tell her "the breastfeeding days are almost over!"
