On Pencils and Printers

It seems that I'm finding too many writing utensils in too many places they don't belong.

The boys pencils are often left on the table when they have gathered up their school things. Tate is really quick and grabbing those pencils and he heads straight for the book basket and begins writing in the library books. (He's also quick at grabbing scissors and glue and everything else, too!) I also find pencils on the floor, in the washing machine, and in the beds. Go figure! (But not in bed, please!!)

Today Liv and Rhyle used magic erasers on the upstairs walls and trim. Owen found silver and gold crayons in the box our neighbors gave us recently and left them in "a special place" upstairs. . . where the middle two found them, I assume. There were gold and silver crayon writings up and down the wall at just their height.

Our printer has been jammed for a few days. I knew B would fix it when he needed it- which was today. I could tell he was getting more and more frustrated with the machine as it refused to print normally. After a few more paper jams, he and Rhyle discovered the problem: there was a green colored pencil IN the printer.
