When Mommy Leaves the Room for 5 Minutes

I frequently let my kids do arts and crafts on the kitchen table while I clean the kitchen and prepare meals. I learned a LONG time ago that every pen which my child holds in their hand should be washable.

This happened when I left the room for just a few minutes. When I left, Sabrina was coloring paper. When I returned, she was coloring her face. It may look horrible, but those washable markers come off with a wipee.
