I'm not sure if you can see in this picture, but that is lip liner on my floor! My 17 month old decided it would be fun to draw mommy a pretty picture on the floor! I caught it before he did too much and was able to clean it up, but kept thinking what if he did this on the carpet!
So I guess I'm in for it now! This is the first time he's drawn on anything other than paper or himself! And all I can think is THANK GOODNESS it wasn't my carpet! AHH..the joys of having kids!

I've been there but the canvas was my couch, my white couch. In my estimation, you came out pretty well.
Looks like a good color, at least it will come off the floor easily.
Here's my Thousand Word Thursday post
I had to put coloring items up ...mine was coloring on the tv!
I think this is ont he wrong day Dee Shouldn't this be a Totally Talented Tuesday, lol ;)
Happy ATWT! Lip liner is bad...and chapstick ruins freshly painted walls!
Oh no! I try to keep all writing materials out of reach, but I know it is only a matter of time!
oh bummer! We had a crayon incident yesterday! purple on the bathroom door! ugh! and i cant get it off. yes the joys of motherhood...
just wait until he has his new baby brother.....check out my post for the day and you'll see what I am talking about!
Nice!!! What a little artist!.. lol
LOL, Allie did the wall with colored pencils a few months back. Ever since then, I hide all the coloring items. Lucky, that stuff comes off pretty easy.
Oh, what fun...LOL! Kids are creative, huh!?! :o)
Oh my.... it could have been worse - like SHARPIE marker worse..
Nice pic!
Good think it wasn't a black permanent marker! Or on a white wall!
Lol it's the thought that counts right!? He just wanted to draw you a picture and paper just wouldn't cut it this time! Hehe
Ugh, when my daughter was 2 she got ahold of a sharpie, my limited edition coach purse and her own face... that was fun. Be thankful its only lipliner and that you can put an end to it before it becomes sharpie!!
Oh no! At least it was the floor and not the furniture!
LOL! I have to say been there!! My dd's first was on the floor of the kitchen and the friggie!
A long, long time ago, mine drew me a lovely picture on their bedroom wall.
But Mommy the whole world is a canvas!! Wait till you get the walls in black magic marker!! Now that is fun!
Glad you could clean it up. Looks like he picked out a nice shade of lip liner too! :P
Oh my, yes, I remember that from when my boys were younger. Oh wait, what am I saying? My 6 yr old STILL draws all over everything! Arrghh! We went with all washable crayons/markers for awhile and that helped, some, and the Miracle Eraser worked great on stuff too. But ya, when they get a hold of the Sharpies that you just KNOW are safely put away, well, you're really in trouble!!
We would like to thank you for sharing cute stories like this :) by giving you a award! Pick it up at frugaliciousmommy.com
Oooooh. Been there, done that. All I can say is treasure the memories because those little ones will be gone before you know it and you'll be wishing you had some marks on your floor again! Have a great weekend!
Yes, I think we can forget about having nice things for the next couple of decades!
I'm giving you an award! Stop by and see:

I'm visiting from A Thousand Words Thursday. This is my first time to participate.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has an artistic toddler! LOL!
Got to love the Magic Eraser sponges!!
Looks like you have a little artist on your hands :) At least it wasn't permanent marker... yet LOL!
Oh, man. Monkey like to try and put my make up on her face, especially eyeliner. She just ends up with brown all over her face... at least she has left the floors and walls alone...so far ;)
I am not sure what I would be more upset about. Using my make up as a writing tool or the floor! :)
You should see my walls. I'm embarrassed.
:--) Nell
