Today I learned how to hold my tongue and even my breath (and counted to 10). I was sitting on the computer this afternoon working on a few things for Kylee's blessing this Sunday and realized it was kind of quiet in the family room. I know this should be nice but in our house, quiet means some little boy is getting into trouble. So I get to the family room and Drew is not in there. Then I walk into my bedroom and into the bathroom and find this....

and this

I about died. I actually am very proud of myself for how I handled things. I didn't yell or spank or strangle my son. I just talked very sternly and let Drew know how disappointed I was in him and how he doesn't need to get into Mommy's things. I about died when his bottom lip started to quiver and I could tell he was trying not to cry. But I kept my composure so I wouldn't laugh because I didn't want him to think this was funny....you might think so but I couldn't laugh at it until after I spent an hour cleaning up the mess, a nap, and Ryan getting home and seeing what was left. Yes, I still have purple marks on my counter. This stuff is practically purple dye that I have been using on Kylee and me because we are suffering from a case of Thrush. I really hate Thrush. You can get it over the counter for really cheap and it is suppose to be better and faster than the medicine the doctor gives you. All I can say is I hate the color purple at the moment. I have a purple boy, a purple hand from cleaning it up, a baby with a purple mouth, and now a purple counter. I cleaned it up the best I can but there are still some purple smudges. I will try again tomorrow and hope it comes clean, if not, I guess we get a new counter top!

oh me oh my! I could NOT figure out what that purple stuff could be so I'm glad you explained it. Well, better the counter than the carpet I guess?
haha! Quiet is not good at my house either! Sounds like you're not having a very good week at the moment, but just think when its bad it always has to get better!!
oh no!!! That is horrible...I totally know what that feels like though.
oh amy.... hang in there!
lol! That looks like something my kids would do! Quiet always seems to equal trouble. Props to you for holding your composure.....and even getting a picture!
