My little juvenile delinquent

So it turns out that it's not just the walls that inspire Ellie's creativity.

Children's chairs do...
throw pillows do...
floor tiles do...
books do...
even baby dolls do...
"Why don't you just put the crayons away?!" you must be thinking. Uhm, I have. I swear! I have searched the house and put away every crayon I can find. I've even subjected Ellie to random strip searches, but still I find her hunched over a book or crouched by an innocent home furnishing, scribbling away! She's like a squirrel preparing for a long, cold winter, storing away a crayon here, another one there. It's sort of like living with an alcoholic who hides mini-bottles --there just seems to be an endless supply hidden throughout the house. Hhm...I wonder if they have crayon-sniffing dogs at the police department? If so, I would like to borrow one for the day!

Like Hillary said, good job keeping your sense of humor! And good luck finding the hidden crayons.

We know that your Easter egg finding skills will serve you well. Too bad that hidden crayons don't have an odor like hidden eggs, though!
