Just when you thought the kids finally stopped fighting with each other or making a big mess, and are playing nice with their cousin, quietly, and you are able to relax and say to yourself, “Man, I finally get some time of peace and quiet!”
Then they come out looking like this…
They had colored themselves in permanent markers… don’t want to expose Ana too much, so it’s not pictured but she drew all the way down to her legs. Apparently she wanted to try out for the movie Avatar.
I immediately took off their clothes and put them in the bathtub, and even after I scrubbed them over and over again, nope, it still stayed on for several days after that.
Bless them!! They're so sweet.. Even coloured in with permanent marker!! All the best from Sussex, England x
AHahhaha! Reminds my of my sister who put fingernail polish on her lips instead of lipstick when she was little.
Hairspray will remove permanent marker.
I wouldn't put hairspray on my kids skin 0.o I see amakeup artist in the making. So cute thanks for sharing it with us xxx Rose
Haha! That is absolutely hilarios. 🙂 Kids will be kids.
My two boys would get along with your kids. They did the same thing this summer with sharpie markers all the way to their eardrums. Yes, the marks do come out. To this day, if they're too quiet, I'm scared.

did you try makeup remover? i did that with magic marker when i was young once haha!
Omg, I had a similar experience. I was in the room and my two boys and their cousin were playing nicely in the living room. 5 minutes later, the littlest one comes running into the room, with marker mustache and coloring all over his face and arms. The cousin follows with the same. Luckily ours was washable crayola!
They must have had so much fun! 😀 Did she have to go to school too?
Most permanent markers will wash off with some rubbing alcohol 😉 put it on a pad as if removing make up.
Next time try using a toner to remove permanent marker.My little cousin drew moustache with permanent marker.The toner completly removed it.
Oh my, that sounds like it would hurt! Haha
You can come and she'll do your makeup anytime. For free!
So true, the peace is nice but then you're worrying what they're up to!
You're lucky it wasn't permanent! Haha
She sure did! The teacher and her friends kept asking her what happened to her face! 😀
Never knew that, thanks!
I don't use make up remover but thy would've been handy!
Interesting, thank you for the info!
I'll have to try that next time! Wish I knew all these solutions then! 🙂
Hi. I wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your blog. I spent the day reading the posts all the way back to the first one. It was enjoyable being able to have a glimpse into your lives. Your children are adorable and your husband is an awesome person. I also liked your DIY/alterations and your view on modest clothing. I look forward to reading your future posts.
I wonder if she felt embarassed or proudly announced she had fun drawing on herself. 😛
Sunscreen, the lotion flavor will remove it easily.
Too funny!
Sunscreen, the lotion type will remove it easily – next time!
This happened a while ago (my nephew is now 22) – but when he was about 3 years old, he got a hold of a black permanent marker and proceeded to color his entire "penis", while his dad was supposed to be watching him. I don't think there is a person we meet that we don't share that story! LOL You got to love 'em! 🙂
Wow, I am so flattered that you read every single post, that means a lot tome! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading my blog, and I hope you stick around! 🙂
