As I was tucking James into bed this evening, he said, "Come here, Mom. Check out my drawing." I knelt down to see that sometime during the day, he had drawn a big mural of a ship and a lighthouse ON HIS BED. Yes, I just bought him a bunk bed and the backside of the desk part, he decided looked like a big canvas awaiting it's masterpiece.
He could not understand why I was upset. In his mind, IT was a very nice picture and he did write on it "God is graet"(great). lol. I think he knew he did something wrong but figured that writing "God is great" on it made up for it. I will take a picture of it when he is not looking. I don't want him to see me snickering. I wasn't happy about it, but I also remember back in the day, my sister coloring a big witch on one of the kitchen table legs. I think it's still there. I don't think my mom had the heart to be rid of it. I also remember one of my brothers writing another brothers name on the closet door. It's a kid thing... color where you are not supposed to. In fact, when I was little, I hid under my bed and improved those boring black and white pictures in the library books we checked out, to full color. After that I was like a prisoner, the library banned me from checking out books for a while. :) lol. What are you gonna do?
P.S. Made brussel sprouts tonight with dinner. They were surprisingly good.

Yes the picture is still there! Not a witch, it was a self portrait! Lisa did that when she was five. The brother was Eric. He wrote Brent's name on the closet door. Only one problem. Brent was too young to write his name! Funny stories. Didn't want to leave the names out to protect the guilty!
