2 Going on 16

So I don't have any pictures of this either but it is one heck of a story. Yesterday morning our computer got attacked with a bunch of viruses again so I was once again on the phone with the HP people. Less then 5 min into the conversation I go see what Brooklyn is up to, only to find her with a Dark Green Sharpie behind her back. It didn't take me long to discover what she had done. There was green permanent marker on my kitchen walls, cabinets, floor, table, chairs, and of course all over her brand new p.j.s and all over her body! I seriously lost it! She sat in time out, then she helped me scrub, then she sat in the shower and got scrubbed! I am pretty sure that you could see steam coming out of my ears. I have been able to clean up most of the marker, minus the stuff on the walls. We might just have to paint over it.
What a little terror she has been. She has also discovered this week that she can hide things, or even hide herself. I had a panic attack this morning when I couldn't find her (because now she can unlock the front and back doors)only to find her in our bedroom closet behind all of Ethan's clothes. And when it was time for church we couldn't find my car keys... well she had put them in her dresser in the bottom drawer, underneath the baby's clothes. Isn't that the first place you would look?

You're poor house!! Brooklyn has definitely got a little naughty in her. When I got off the phone with you yesterday and told Dibb the story he said, did you tell her that she's probably just getting a taste of what her mom had to deal with when she was little.

I reassured him, and the rest of my family, at the dinner table tonight that you and I were not nearly as naughty and Trent and Lindsay. Everyone agreed. Then my mom proceeded to make fun of the B & K Shows. good times!!

crazy little kid!! it's amazing that it takes them soooo little time to make a mess that takes us hours to clean up!! I hope you can get it all clean!! Porter likes to grab the scissors when i'm not looking... i caught him just before he attacked my new curtains the other day!!
try hairspray on your walls and a good dish scrubber... it works!!
