Day 171 - June 20, 2010

Happy Father's Day Matt! We're so lucky to have such a wonderful father in our family.

Since it is father's day, we spent a lot of time together and I got several cute and fun pictures of the kids. It was almost hard to choice. But this picture has the best background story so it was the clear winner. The kids recently received a packet of thin markers. Susannah, of course at 4 1/2, is an expert marker user. Heath, however, not so much. He has only ever used the ColorWonder ones before. Yesterday was the first time that the kids used the markers and Heath did write all over his hands. So I should have known better and the same thing happened today. I suspect that the reason the kids had marker on their faces was because the package of markers came with 5 scented one. It is easy to get marker on your nose when you're sniffing it. The best part of the story was that I didn't realize at the time that I took this picture but Heath has stuck several different makers in his ears. Yup, that's right. Marker in the ear and not just one the outside. It was deep in the ear canal and he used several different colors. At least they are washable. Couple of wet cotton swabs later and all the blue and brown marker was removed from his ear canal. I guess we need to watch him more closely with markers in the future.
