This is fitting for the Coco house right now. I have a big black “M” on the leather armrest in my Tahoe.
Upon asking why he did it, he said, “I was spelling Mommy just for you!”

And the reason he was in the car not in his carseat is b/c I was vacuuming the sand in the back back. Obviously not paying attention.

Every time I pull the car into the garage, I encounter a memory that’s at least 15 years old. My little girl wanted something to be hers, so she etched her name into the garage wall. Some things…like love…are just indelible, right?

I have read the horror stories about black markers! YIKES! and I never took those baby classes either… I guess I thought I would get it on my own anyways! LOL

Natalie got a hold of a permanent marker and colored on our walls.

We’re in military housing so the house doesn’t technically belong to us. This means we’re going to have to pay when we move out. I guess we could try to paint over it but base housing uses a specific shade of white and I could see them going, “Yes, that’ll be two hundred dollars for painting the walls with the wrong color.”

I try to hide all the permanent markers now.

Permanent markers and scissors to the bangs: two very important rights of passage, indeed.

I have a bunch of graffiti artist here too. Everytime I change my sheets I see the drawing someone did on my mattress with a black sharpie.

Laughing too hard. So random (yet clever) for her to label stuff, but what are kids if not random. You handled well!

I have found a few similarities between puppies and husbands too!
Or maybe I should say My Hubby!

You did a great job today on Angie’s page. I love this story. I hope it all comes off.
