The writing on the walls

All three of our kids have had major blunders this week of coloring on house hold items -- the bunk beds, the floor, and the carpet, a chair. ALL three! Tomorrow when they wake up, all the art supplies will be hidden. I'll thinking of either making them buy it all back from me OR starting a marker renting program. :) what do you think? Trying to keep my cool but also get my point across. Or will this just kill creativity in the house. Is it like taking food away for a little artist like Quinn?

Also this week there was a 24 hour period where every kid pees their pants. I am also open to the problem being with me. Maybe there was too much chaos with house guests or the school field trips. Too much of mom watching The West Wing? I don't know. But it is worth looking at. We gave them lots of down time today, and we have plans for some family time and adventure tomorrow -- sans the art supplies.
