Well let me tell you

What the little demons got up to today. New things every day indeed.

Today I went upstairs to put my little angels in bath. To discover that while nicely playing upstairs they decided it would be really fun to....are you ready?.....

Write and draw all over the bedroom.

They drew on the sheets of the bed the racing numbers and stripes and the steering wheel and even the headlights of a race car. They drew the red-yellow-green starting light thingie on the wall. They drew the guard rail (with a part broken out, evidently by an ex-opponent) on the other wall. On the door they wrote a list of the cars in the race and their numbers.

Daan was evidently assigned to draw the spectators, so there was a series of big smiley faces too, next to the guard rail.

They were in so much trouble. You have no idea.

Actually they were very casual about it and said, "oh, we'll clean it up" and ran for the washcloths. Then it didn't come off. And it didn't come off. And it didn't come off. Daan was still casual at this point but Douwe was in a panic because he was beginning to understand just how much trouble he really was in if this stuff didn't come off.

Well, it was a lot of trouble he was in. However, the Magic Sponge came to the rescue again adn there is no permanent harm done. However, I think it will be a long time before anybody writes on the wall again.

And I think we will be putting Harold and the Purple Crayon away for a little bit: I recognize those spectators.
