Do you think these will come clean?

The crazy thing is I started this! Not the drawing on faces, but the windows. I found some Crayola window crayons at the store (plus I had a coupon) and thought we could give them a try. I had no idea the face made for a better canvas then a window. I ran to answer the phone and came back to find some little creatures resembling my kids.

They had such a great time! And to stop the people from thinking I am totally nuts, every last inch came clean from their clothes, skin and the windows. I hardly pull play dough out because of the mess so this is a big move for me! I highly recommend them for a fun thing to do. I washed their clothes immediately because the box said may stain clothing. Now no one can blame me later for ruined clothes if any of you get brave out there and give these a try. I love all the pictures! Liv was so helpful in making sure Isaac got plenty on his face.




Goes on easier if you pull your cheek back and sneer!

Good times at the Johnson's

Oh I'm glad it washed out of their clothes. They look like they had WAY too much fun! Great artists in the making.

Way to go momma! That looks like fun. I'll have to get some of those for this summer. The markers I mean. I already have my own cute kids!

I love it! I will totally have to get some of those-I KNOW that Jakob is going to be so bored once school gets out!

Gotta love Crayola!!! I can't believe they even thought of doing that while you were gone- smart kids!

That's awesome you got it all out. Connor has a fettish with coloring all over himself and it takes a few days for the crayola washable markers to fade off his skin even after scrubbing with soap.
The other day he was covered in orange scribbles from head to toe and I had no idea there was even a loose marker. I asked him what he did it with (so that I could find the marker and put it up) and he just says "with orange". At least he is learning his colors:)
By the way I think your kids are the cutest!

Way to branch out of your comfort zone! :) Maybe I'll give those things a try!
