Green Armor

This is just too good not to share now.

Yesterday, the boys had colored some birthday signs for Tim to hang up around the house.  Today, we had some time before we had to leave the house to go get Ryan from school and Colin wanted to color some more.  There was one sign left from yesterday that the boys didn't get to, so I told Colin he could color that.  He grabbed the box of markers and started on the "y".  I went to the computer to work on our photo album (for 2009). 

Let me share that a few moments before he sat down to color he saw this picture of Ryan from back in June 2009 where he had colored on his stomach with an orange Sharpie.

A few minutes later I asked Colin to go use the bathroom before we had to go get Ryan from school.  He proceeded to get down from the table and came over to show me this....

I couldn't help but laugh.  Seriously!  Who colors their whole arm green!  If you look at the first picture you can even see where he started to color in the "d" next to the "y", but apparently, he had a better idea in mind.  He was so proud of himself and his "armor"!

Just a few more pics for your viewing pleasure....

It really was magnificently epic! 

Thankfully it was a Crayola Washable Marker!  I didn't have time to clean it off completely since we had to go get Ryan but it definitely turned the tub water a light green later in the evening.

Confession:  Now if I had found that Ryan, back in 2009, or Colin today, had chosen to color all over the walls, or worse...the furniture, I know for certain I would have found very little humor in that creativity.  Yet, I seem to find it hilariously funny when they color all over themselves!  Something is wrong with that picture, no?!
