We forgot to explain that sidewalk chalk is to be used only on the sidewalk!

I walked out on to the porch and was greeted with letters on the soap box where I keep my gardening tools.

Side view of soap box.
Can you find the word cat on the loveseat?
Have you figured out his favorite letters yet?
Yes, even the air conditioner was tagged!
And when I found him, Rew was innocently writing on the sidewalk.
When I start to walk away, he moves to the planter. It is kind of like sidewalk, right?
And when he is sure that I am gone, the little vandal moves on to the barbecue to finish tagging everything on the patio! If you would like to see the art work of well behaved children visit Magic Marker Monday.

    LOL! That is hilarious! I'm soooo glad you joined in with MMM — what a clever little cutie you have on your hands there. Better hide the Sharpie markers… 😉

    Happy MMM!

    Isn't it funny the things that you have to tell kids that you never think that you would have to tell them?

    My nine year old started writing on part of our house (that was brick) with sidewalk chalk about a month ago. He just didn't even think about why he shouldn't do it.

    That is just darling! I know it's not when it happens, but it reminds me of a few weeks ago I was staying at my parent's house while we had some work being done, and the girls got ahold of the sidewalk chalk and went Picaso on my mother's front door and hardwood floor (inside). Mayonaise (Grammy) was not too happy when she saw that!

    At least it's all stuff that washes easily or it doesn't matter if it's a little chalk-y! 🙂

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
