A Rite of Passage

I guess it's just something kids do. At least my kids. Caroline has gotten so pen and crayon happy, there's not a room in the house that hasn't been drawn on. Literally every room has some of Caroline's "art". I thought it was kinda funny when I was looking through pictures the other day, that every one of my kids has colored on themselves. I don't remember Ethan coloring on the walls, but he definitely colored on himself, with black pen. Peyton was supposed to be watching him!

Riley drew on walls, as well as herself. She held a crayon to the wall while she was walking down the stairs in our old house, that was a pretty picture. Here, she colored on her nose with a green and purple marker. This was the best picture I got of her. She was ashamed that she did it after I caught her, and she was covering her nose for most of the pictures.
Caroline is our resident artist right now. She loves to color on herself. I don't know why. I guess for her it's because she knows she's not supposed to, and she loves to do everything she knows she's not supposed to do. She's really testing us right now. I love how she put on her pouty face for this picture. She was smiling until I pulled out the camera and then she put on that face. She always keeps us laughing, even when we should be stern.
