Oh no they didn't!
Yes, yes they did and this lovely image is what I walked into a couple of weeks ago (sorry for the crappy pic, it was taken on my phone). That morning Sophia & Lily apparently decided that the literally 10 - 15 coloring books, drawing pads and construction paper were just not enough. They needed to spread their artistic talents around and so they took to the dresser with black, green and purple crayons. I had no idea they had done anything wrong until I went into their room later that morning to collect dirty laundry. OH. MY. GOSH. When Sophia saw me notice their "artwork" she immediately blamed it on Lily. Thing is, Sophia has been on this kick of putting x's all over her coloring books, she x'd out a picture of a dog once because Lily is afraid of dogs. So I knew that it wasn't just Lily. I may not have been there but I know my kids coloring "styles" and I saw them both on this "masterpiece". After a stern talk about only coloring on paper I informed them that there would be no more coloring in the bedroom and that they had lost all coloring items for a week. Then we got some Magic Erasers and I had the kids clean up their mess. The dresser is all cleaned up now and Mommy learned an important lesson: Never leave crayons in the unsupervised hands of a 4 year old and a 2 year old.
