Fun With Markers

Adlani and Norah woke up before me this morning, and I should have known something was up because they were playing quietly in Aliya's room. That doesn't happen unless there's something sneaky going on. The first one I saw was Adlani, sporting a pencil-thin mustache (or cat whiskers?) drawn by the artistically-advanced Norah:

Then Norah showed up with her war paint, which she applied herself. I love the use of multiple colors on and below her bottom lip. She's headed for a career as either a make-up artist to the stars, or working the face-paint booth at the carnival:

Thank God they weren't permanent markers - they were the ones that smell like various fruits and candies. Although the kids below aren't mine (and put my kids' marker artistry to shame), this widely-circulated picture still cracks me up:
