    8. "My son has a habit of getting ahold of pens and markers and drawing ALL over the walls."

    9. "Sister sidekicks forever causing a mess!"

    10. "I used to give my son some water to play with while I cooked dinner, but he got bored with that, so I thought I’d give him some flour to mix in the water. In the time it took me to put the veggies in the stir fry, he managed to cover himself in what was basically paste. I was pulling it from his long, curly hair for days."

    11. "That's today's design. He is my Picasso."

    18. "My then 2-year-old opened a can of cocoa powder on the couch."

    19. "My daughter and an entire bottle of lotion. It’s vanilla scented and she said she wanted to smell like muffins. I had to wash her hair three times with dish soap."
