Family Rules

There has been an upstanding rule in the house of the eight for as long as I can remember, it regards writing utensils and how they should be used.  The rule is simple and generally easy to follow "Paper or People" and though some may have issue with writing on skin, in this house it is figured that it's a lot easier to wash Sharpie off of skin than off of wallpaper or the couch.  Choose your battles and whatnot.
So what Lili did today was completely in the right, though no rule was being broken, she still gave us a bit of a shock:

Comments like "Oh my Lordy" and "Goodness, Lili!" were soon quieted by the high pitched voice of a five year old saying these three words: "I'M A PIG!!!" with her goofy little laughter following.  It would be safe to say the entire house-who all were in earshot of this conversation-completely lost it.  Thank goodness she's not going anywhere today.

The Little Artist

Olivia decided to experiment in finger paints on Wednesday, I think that she did a pretty good job, though I'm not sure that it would made it past the idea faze if anyone would have caught her.

Let me introduce to you the artwork of Olivia

Ranch Dressing is her medium, a dining room chair is her canvas.

In her opinion the 'paint' tasted pretty good too!

 

The goof ball worked on her masterpiece for a solid fifteen minutes before she finally ran out of dressing to eat.
