They may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR PAINT MARKERS!

Melissa is out of town with the girls, and I am left alone with Jack and the dog.  Just us guys.

As I am a responsible father, after breakfast I got Jack all dressed, then got him all set up in the stroller and got the dog ready and then took them both for a morning walk.  On our return, I spent a few minutes fixing a bolt that had come loose from the stroller, and tightened up the rest of it so the stroller is fully functional again.  This gave me a sense of minor accomplishment.  Not only am I taking care of the boy and the dog, but I'm getting stuff done around the house!

Meanwhile, I could see Jack was in the next room, hiding under the dining room table.  He does that sometimes.  He likes his "alone time".

But it turns out this morning he was doing more than I realized.

(Don't worry.  It washed off.)
