Crayons=Trouble!

I feel like a mean mom.  Today I threw away Tyke's crayons.  Not all of them, just a little ten pack that had been scattered around the living room floor for a few days.  I kept warning Tyke to pick them up or they would be thrown away.  The little stinker would pick them all up and then throw them in the air and laugh and run away.  He has a hard time taking me seriously haha.  Tonight I had Luke sitting in his walker, playing with some toys.  Tyke was running like a mad man around the house, occasionally stopping to play with Luke and then back to being crazy.  Chad was in the shop changing oil on all of our vehicles and I was on the couch trying to close my eyes for ten minutes thanks to a small headache.  Things got quiet in the house, both Luke and Tyke weren't squealing or laughing.  I opened my eyes and saw Tyke on his knees facing Luke and Luke standing on his tip toes watching down at what Tyke was doing.  They both had a crayon in their hands and they were both coloring all over the tray of Luke's walker!  My first reaction was to get after them and then I laughed.  They both dropped their crayons and Tyke ran.  I wish so bad I would have gotten a picture of the scene, it was hilarious!  These two are going to be trouble I just know it!  Anyway, the crayons got chucked because Tyke kept snapping them in half, peeling off the paper, throwing them, and he wouldn't keep them away from baby brother.  I felt bad, I think he learned his lesson.  I also think it didn't phase him.  Either way we are now down ten crayons and have a tray to clean off.  Thanks boys! =)


The damage isn't that bad.  It makes me laugh to think about the whole scene, and mad that I didn't capture it.  This is the first time, for both boys, to color on anything other than paper.  Little stinkers!
