Love it! My son used a thumbtack to make a smiley face on a kitchen drawer facing in our new house. He was so proud, I couldn’t be angry. That’s so true about girl moms with mouths open.
I was smiling as I thought about my 5 boys… until I read the last one… *Que the tears!*
My youngest is graduating High School next week…….sure will miss those little boogers! Boys are the best. That last one got me too. But, I am gonna be a fabulous mother in law one day.
Mine used a stick to write 55 on my car door.Lightning McQueen!
HA HA! That’s SO what my son would do if he were older 🙂 He’s a HUGE “cars” fan!
I gave up cleaning up on the writing on the furniture. They drive me crazy but I’m sad when they are gone.
this is sooo true!!!
I totally need to know where I can find the Lego and Star Wars fonts!!!
Rebecca’s, they are on my Pinterest page on my fonts board. So fun.
O that first picture is priceless. Totally something my boy would do.
