Shortly after moving into our new house, we had an unfortunate incident involving Hudson, our freshly painted walls, and a black permanent marker. The spots have since been painted over, and the markers stored up high, but Hudson's ingenuity gave us an idea. John picked up a small can of dry erase board paint, and we painted a just-at-the-right-height section of wall at the bottom of our stairs going down to the unfinished basement.
We gave the kids some dry erase crayons, and told them to have at it. Of course they loved it. Makenna is very good at only coloring inside the blue tape. Hudson on the other hand seems to have no problem thinking (i.e. coloring) outside the box. But since his wandering artistic skills still occur on the unfinished walls of the basement stairwell, (and he does the majority of his coloring inside the designated area) we don't really worry about it.

And these two seem to be pretty happy with their new found freedom of being allowed to color on the walls.

What a great idea! I can't believe how big Hudson looks, he's growing up way too fast.
