When mom is busy “working” on Monday this happens….
When mom walks into the other room to take a drink of water on Tuesday this happens….
When mom blinks on Wednesday this happens….
Clearly it takes more than one person to care for this child.
Please send your donations for the nanny fund to mytimeasmom.com
Thank you.

I hope it washed out easily. My daughter colored herself from top to bottom blue earlier this week. It was so bad not only did I have to do a full on bath, but I wrote a post about it, too. Little kids with markers, bad combination.
C @ Kid Things recently posted..Finding a Shirt to Wear
Thankfully the marker came off easy. The permanent marker she used on her fingers wasn’t quite as easy to get off but at least it was only on her fingers.

who needs a nanny, just get the kid some chapstick – hehee (and how proud of herself does she look!)

She goes through a tube of chapstick a week! I think I need to buy stock in it.

Haha! Look at how proud she is of her work of art! Where’s the paypal account for the nanny fund? Agree with @carribrown, make up lessons or art lessons would be useful =)
She was so proud of her “makeup”. My husband said it encouraged bad behavior to take the pictures but I couldn’t help it.

Of course. She says she is doing “her makeup”. You should also see her hands.

I think you just need to bring L to Blissdom. She can draw on my face like that when I’m sleeping and I won’t get mad because she’s so darn cute. It’ll keep her busy & the rest of you can go have fun. I know. I’m a genius.

Cute & frustrating . . . just like a perfect kid. Somehow, I’ve managed to avoid this, but you better believe that I’ll have a camera ready when those times do come.
John recently posted..Where I share, with you, my screen-saver #WordlessWednesday
My first kid never did anything like this. My second kid, she is always getting into trouble.
Oh my goodness. Please tell me it was washable!!!
Once chunky painted a “Hitler” mustache on himself with a sharpie…yea not cool
Kimberly recently posted..Apparently My Fortune Cookie Thinks That I Have Jesus Like Qualities
Thankfully the markers were washable.
The mustache with sharpie is not cool but it is funny, but probably only because I’m not chunky’s mom.
It always happens so fast.
Seriously.
LMAO!!! I’d tell you to just hide the markers, but my boys manage to find them no matter what. Especially the permanent ones.
Shell recently posted..Things They Can’t Say: CA Girl
I’ve tried hiding the markers and putting them very high up. It doesn’t work. My kid has superpowers.

Too funny. Is she in that oral phase Freud talked about? Get that girl some clear non toxic chapstick or something
Or a nanny…
Christine @ Quasi Agitato recently posted..WordPlay: Bitch, This Isn’t [Kmart] – The Suniverse
She eats a tube of chapstick at least every 3 days. It’s crazy. I think a nanny is the only solution.

The other day, a friend of mine (who has NO children) said to me, “Why don’t you just take a shower when the boys are playing?”

Ha! That friend of yours clearly has no idea the trouble kids can get into during a shower.

You should train the dogs to bark whenever she tries to color her face.
What’s weird is that my boys have always been spastic and crazy trouble makers…but neither one has ever colored on himself. Is it a girl thing?
Jen {at} take2mommy recently posted..Parenting the Second Time Around
My oldest never colored on herself either. I’m thinking it’s just my kid’s thing. She is a handful.
I like the ideas on training the dogs. I might have to try that. Right after I train them to sit and lay down.
Blinking? What kind of mother are you? I’ll send you the latest data on the permanent adhesion eyelash surgery and pray that for the sake of your child you make the right decision.
Yuliya recently posted..it’s important to talk about depression
Ha! I know right, I should never blink again.
she’s just giving herself a little makeover. clearly she’s proud of her work. did you see that grin?!
Cam – Bibs & Baubles recently posted..Fashionably Speaking…
Oh my, she was so proud of herself every time she did “her makeup”.
Twitter: grumpygrateful
says:
Lol! I love that the look on her face in that last picture. It looks like she is a perfectly happy little girl. I think another person would slow her down.
Grumpy Grateful Mom recently posted..Birthday Sharing Strategies
She is a very happy kid. I just wish she could stick to eating chapstick instead of doing her makeup with markers.
So many times I’ve thought, I just need a helper. I totally feel for you. My kids love playdoh. I know some think it’s messy but I never found that to be the case. Anything that gave me an hour was like gold and worth the mess. We also went through 2 trampolines when my kids were younger, again some think they are dangerous and they can be, but my kids jumped for hours. It was the only reason dinner got on the table.
Marie@feedingfive recently posted..Jeannette
I’ve tried Playdoh but that just seems to make more of a mess than it does keep the kids entertained. Maybe I should look into a trampoline. Then the kids might start napping again.
My toddler is the same way! I think I need to start my own nanny fund!

We should never ever set up a playdate..
My 2 year old does this al the frickin time. (And she also looks terribly cute with stuff on her face),
So the two of them together would be a total disaster!
Mirjam recently posted..Visions of Fall
But at least the kids would be completely entertained during the play date.
I know what you mean. It’s amazing what they can sneak out of the room even while you think you’ve got your eye on them. We have a no felt upstairs rule and yet mine manages to sneak one right out from under my nose and color his room. I should listne to that inner mom voice when they are being too quiet.
zeemaid recently posted..I’ve been Nominated
The quiet is always bad. Always.
She is obsessed with lipstick! Santa needs to bring her a whole collection of her own.
I’m hoping Santa teaches her how to listen.

Love it. Perhaps we could do some sort of long-distance nanny share? My kid is literally hanging on my neck as I type this screaming “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” directly into my ear.
Tracy recently posted..Stupid, horny moths (illustrated)
A nanny share would be good if we can get a whole collection of them so that we each always have at least one with us.
That’s a whole lot of lipstick!

Um yeah. So my guy is starting to not jive with the nap thing now that he’s getting older. Ugh. That was well spent time I tell you. I get a LOT of blogging, writing, and crap TV watching done during that time. When will I make a dent on my DVR list now? When will I do my very important computer work. I need a nanny too. From 1 pm to 4 pm every weekend. That’s all. Is that so much to ask?
