The children colored all over themselves with marker this afternoon.
As I type this, they're sitting under the dining room table chatting:
Those are great tattoos. Is that a mountain?
NO! GASSES!
Oh, it's glasses! It's just beautiful. What's this one?
FOWER!
It's a beautiful flower. See this one? This is my words to myself so I won't forget. It's a MINDER.
BOOFUL!
Yes, we have beautiful tattoos. They'll wash off in the bath.
BATTIME?
No, first Daddy has to come home and see our lovely drawings.
DADA HOME?
In fortythirty minutes.
Oh! Heavens! I hope they were washable. That could be really funny when you went to the lake if they were tatooed all over. What a couple of little crack-ups. You did all your drawing on the walls of our apartments. It didn't wash off either.

One of the greatest milestones ever! I hope you got a picture.

"Battime?" To amuse me, please teach M2 to refer to your house as the Bat Cave.

Auntie N; These were not washable markers either. They will take a few days to come off. I think that is pretty funny.

It's a little too late for this time, but baby wipes do a good job getting permanent marker off of skin when it's still fresh.
