I Was Framed

I woke up the other morning to Paxton walking in with pen marks all over his stomach.

Mommy: Paxton how did you get pen all over you?

Paxton: Benjamin did it.

Mommy: He did?

Paxton: No Mommy, I'm sorry. I did it.

Mommy: That's ok Paxton, I'm not mad. I just wondered how it happened.

Paxton: It happened when Benjamin and I were looking at Daddy's book.

Now the book Paxton is referring to is a book that I bought for Josh for Father's Day that was written by his good friend Arie:


I strongly encourage all of you to buy it. :) Anyway it being about comic books, the boys love looking at the pictures and have been told numerous times to leave it alone. This book, plus my boys, plus a pen, can't be a good thing...

Mommy: Paxton did you write in Daddy's book?

Paxton: No, Mommy.

Mommy: Paxton, I'm going to look at it, so if you wrote in it you need to tell me.

Paxton: No Mommy...But could you look at it tomorrow?

Amused by his answer, but still trying to be stern I go to check out the book. The boys had scribbled on the first two blank pages. I flip through the book and find nothing else until the last two pages, at which point I can not be mad at all...
