A Day in the Life of a Mom with Two Girls

So one night this weekend, Jaime (mike's cousin and my wedding buddy) and I were talking in the kitchen. We could hear the girls giggling and Jaime commented on how well they played together. My response was something like, "yes - they do play well together but usually when they start giggling like that, they're up to no good." So I checked on them, saw that they were coloring on paper and went back into the kitchen.

Not even two minutes later, Sydney come skipping into the kitchen with a blue forehead and a blue crayola marker in her hand. Next thing I see is Lexi with a pink forehead and a pink crayola marker in her hand. Here's what happens next:

Me: "Lexi! Sydney! Why did you color on your heads?"
Girls: blank stares
Me: "Go show your father your heads. Coloring time is over."

I grab the markers out of their hands and they continue skipping around the house. I walk over to the spot there were coloring in and notice the wall. It has marker all over it as far as they can reach.

Me: "Oh my God! Why did you color on the wall!?!?!"
Lexi: While still skipping around the house with her sister, doesn't miss a beat and says, "Because we're CA-RAY-ZEE!"

This was one of those times where I knew I shouldn't laugh - but I did anyway. UGH!
