a beauitful shade of purple

When I was just married and teaching school, Sharpie markers were my friends. They came in very cool colors. They wrote on everything. They never washed off.

Now, my friends, Sharpie markers are my nemesis. They come in very cool colors, it's true. They write on everything, and they never wash off. Ever.

So after 3 boys and 1 very cute but very mischievous 3 year old little girl, I am swearing off Sharpie markers. Please empty your pockets of anything that could even resemble a Sharpie the next time you visit.

This is war.
This is in the upstairs hallway - the color is weird - that's
NOT what color my hallway is, but the sharpie color is spot on
(what's with spot on - am I British all of a sudden?)

This is in Noah & Jacob's closet - not even her own closet - she had to
go and mess up somebody else's wall!
