X marks the spot!

Yesterday was a l o n g day.  By the time dinner was over I had a throbbing headache and Laex wouldn't stop bugging his sister.  When he bugs her, she screams. LeGrand was doing touch up painting and I was trying to get some things together for our RS meeting this week.  The kids were finally playing nicely in the other room.  I was enjoying the quiet so much that I didn't think it necessary to check on them - even though I should have.

I yelled to Loa to come so that we could give her a bath, her and Laex came running - she was jabbering pointing to her shirt, I wasn't paying attention.  Laexin being the unbelievably honest boy that he is said, "you're going to find a bunch of "X's" everywhere - but I'm not the one who made them" (with a smirk on his face- as he's holding an Orange marker) - I made my way toward the bathroom and this is what I found.

It didn't stop in the bathroom:

And the thing Loa was jabbering about on her shirt:

Apparently the "Treasure" is buried somewhere at our house!  Unfortunately for Laexin the only reward he got was a sore bum in the time-out corner and a rag to clean up every.single. X (he was scrubbing X's out of places I didn't even know they were :/ )

On a positive note, it was a 'dry erase' marker - so most of the clean up wasn't too bad (although for a 4 year old it was) --and the 'magic eraser' rescued us on the hard-to-get places.
