the graffiti artist

Last week, I was happily washing dishes when I looked out the window and gasped. Someone had spray painted a black target on our brick wall in the back yard.
I went outside to get a better look and found a few other paintings. I quickly came inside and sat down next to Ben and said, "I can't believe you graffittied our walls out back." He said, "Huh? I didn't do it." I took him out to show him his name written in bright red letters.
He saw it and said, "Mom! Someone framed me! It wasn't me." Luke and Zack were close by and I could tell by the look on Luke's face that he didn't have anything to do with it. Zack happily looked at us and exclaimed, "Do you like it? I even painted an arrow in Sunny's corner so she knows where to go poop!"
After 5 long years, Zack continues to pull surprises out of his hat. He has quite the extensive career in mess making and doesn't seem to want to retire any time soon. I guess I should be grateful he didn't paint the dog...

Anyone have a pressure washer we can borrow?

Where did the spray paint come from?

We have lots of spray paint in our garage... for little projects. But earlier that week we'd been working on Valentine boxes and sprayed one with a base spray. Zack helped with the project and knew JUST what to do. I can't help but be proud of how well he did on the wall.. :)

And I really should be mad about it, but he felt terrible when he found out it doesn't come off.

Wow. I've got nothing but wow.

We've got to keep Sylvia and Zack apart. Together they could graffiti the world.

he did a good job... he even had you fooled. :)

I think he did a great job. The two-toned Batman just kills me. That kid.

Oh man. That boy really is a handful. If you really are looking for a power sprayer, my brother details cars, so he has one. Let me know if you want me to ask him to come over.

janet said...

Yes, Em! I really do need one. From what I read, it's about the only way to get it off..
