She is brimming with pride as she shows me what she's done: create pirate lions (lines) for a map to a treasure!
D'oh, one problem. She did it on the rug... in permanent marker. Yeah!
I have now medicated myself with half a pouch of Grape flavored Big League Chew I found abandoned in the cupboard and made myself muffins.
Steve will be proud to see that she actually tagged the map. There is a nice "A" and "B" and a "Y" not pictured here. She did the whole 8'x10' rug. It was quite a map. Some days I just wish I liked alcohol.

Take a photo, put it in an envelope and drop in a U.O.ME note, seal it and write "Do not open until 16th. birthday."
You have made my day..I know I
will laugh all night. What a totally ambitious project! Just think! Her first map..I am sure she is a prodigy of the highest order. And it is not a NEW rug after all....
Um....at least it was an area rug?
I just wonder how long until Rachel does something extremely destructive. So far it's been limited to crayons on the wall and such. Well, marker pens on the coffee table, but they were washable markers, at least.
Aha! I just remembered - when Rachel was a baby (probably 7 or 8 months old), James was holding her on his lap while he typed on his laptop from work. All of a sudden, she spit up...all over the keyboard, thereby killing the laptop.
But at least it wasn't our laptop :)
LOL, the funny thing is, this is really a first... and to be fair, she was shocked and appalled that it wouldn't come out. And quite penitent once she realized.
I DONT believe it!
I'm still laughing!!
It's beyond amazing.
That is just so wonderfully fantastic. The ambition, the creativity....it's just sheer greatness. I say you submit the photo to Mensa.
I just wish I could be there to see Steve's face.
Looks like a crime scene photo.
In what way is it NOT a crime scene photo?
