war paint

I left the room to send an email to C's teacher this morning. I returned to find that C had decorated K's face much to the delight of both of them. It was very amusing to me too - it rather dismayed their father.






In case you are wondering, everything came off except the purple rings around her eyes. They've faded to a lighter shade but they are still very clearly there. She looks as if she has some bizarre rash.

A word to the wise: cheap washable markers don't wash off as well as Crayola washable markers.

I visited my doctor today and he was unhappy with my scores on the little questionnaire they had me fill out. We are working on a remedy and I am to see him again in six weeks.

    Even Crayola doesn't come off of the more sensitive skin areas (or dry skin--it absorbs quicker and deeper.) My kids have severe allergies to dies and for a long time could not use any type of paint or marker because they got sick when they got it on them. We learned the sensitive/dry skin thing in that time.

    Poor kid--though the pictures are stunning. :)

  5. Oh!

    That middle picture. I want one! Large, and framed, and hanging over my fireplace.

    It could be titled "Girl Enjoying Childhood".

    Hope you are soon feeling better.

  6. Since you're less than a week away from Halloween, maybe you could just leave the purple circles and call them her costume? Would save a lot of explaining in the grocery lines.

    My little one often trips off to school with pen all over herself, some of which doesn't quite come off properly.
