Crayons

Crayons are everywhere in my house it's like child spoor at this point. They leave the crayons everywhere, to the point of being ridiculous. At the very least the children don't draw on the walls, however any flat surface is free game.  Chairs, tables, sleeping parent. It doesn't matter. I will tell you though that they don't have markers. They had markers one day for a total of an hour. As much as I dislike the crayon problem I will take that over markers any day.
  Now if the idea of triplets and crayons loose in your house isn't enough to make a cold sweat run down your back, my wife thought is would be fun to get on of the Crayola Crayon Maker. If you're not familiar with this destroyer of carpets and death to fabrics machine let me explain. It is a little cauldron that you put little broken bits of crayon into so that you melt it down and pour it into crayon molds. It's the toddler hat trick. it can burn, electrocute, and stain. What fun.
 One other crayon concern and this ties into the fact that children are horrible about attention to detail when it comes to cleaning. So they tend to loose or leave crayons everywhere. I have dogs and for some reason they like to eat crayons. This is fun for at least two reasons, one it means that there is little crumbles of chewed crayon spread about the house. And two, the dog spoor is so colorful that is really brightens up the back yard.
