The Master of Disaster Returns

This is what our dining room table looks like 90% of the time. Why? Because this what Maycie does with 90% of her free time. Maycie earned the title of Master of Disaster (or MOD) early on when at age 2 she took permanent marker to my new leather couch and several other choice items. Multiple wall murals were also to her credit. She soon learned the appropriate place to express her creativity. After several years of absence, however, MOD returned this week when she took a marker to another wall. As punishment Maycie was banned from the art table and coloring instruments for a whole day. Maycie rarely gets upset, but you would have thought the world was ending based on her reaction. She was lost without her paper and markers.

Maycie, I'm sorry I had to deprive you of your first love. I marvel at and truly love all your creations. Your talent should be encouraged and developed. Just not on uncommissioned walls. Keep creating. I love you!


I'm not necessarily proud of this captured moment, but Rob insisted that it be captured. This is so typical Maycie and Alex. What do you do when wet rain clothes impede jumping? Remove them, of course.
