So As any mom knows, when the house gets too quite- it's time to go and see

what the kids are up to. This is what I found today- Payton explaining to Brynley about his awesome picture that he was drawing. I thought it was just to sweet to pass up taking a photo of them.

Payton drawing has been just a very recent development, I worried forever because he hated coloring and would give up after a few seconds, and I kept trying to get him to like it but he just wouldn't.

Than the Geddes introduced Line rider to Dave, and Payton loved drawing on that game- (eventually we took it away though cuz' it was on a site that had a ton of pop ups and Payton would click them which is not okay), but since than he's now started to like drawing-
they are always like an adventure course drawings though, of this person is doing this than this happens ect ect.

I love listening to him explain them, it gives me a peek into his imagination, and he has his pen always pointing to what is happening, and he is never done with the picture it seems, he'll explain and than he'll be like hold on and draw some more and than start over.

Brynley on the other hand-

Loves coloring and colors on everything (much to my dismay).

I can't seem to get enough stuff for her that she can and will like to color- she still colors on stuff around the house- the worse she did was got a permanent red marker and colored in our grout lines in our tile- she did have Payton and her cousins help for that one though-
all I can say to that is Thank You Magic Eraser, you a life saver!

I prolly should talk to my mom about how she got me to stop, She still has books that I colored on when I was little. Of course they're cute now. :)
The biggest problem comes in when Brynley just acts so like-
"Oh no I did it again, I'm so sorry mom I just was so caught up in my artistic endeavors I forgot I just need to color on paper."
Cuz' all two year olds talk and think like that right :)

If she wasn't so stinkin cute and have me and her daddy wrapped so tightly around her finger- It would be easier.
I don't want to take the crayons away though cuz' than they don't color as much, and I get really bored having to supervise them every time. I really want my kids to grow up learning how to monitor themselves and not have to feel like just cuz' this person is watching I shouldn't do this- but I still want to. Does that make sense??

Ya other than that, anyone have any suggestions on what they did or what to do??
Brynley sure is a cutie but she has a very healthy mischievous side to her too
