A New Hobby?

I believe I have finally solved the mystery! At the beginning of the school year I purchased several packs of new pencils thinking they would last the whole year. Lately when ever someone is in need of a pencil there in none to be found! What has happened to them and where have they gone? Well, today I caught "her" red handed!! I had been down stairs vacuuming and came back up stairs to hear a noise coming from the office room. There Makell sat with the pencil shoved into the pencil sharpener just letting it file it down to nothing! She had finished four and was starting the FIFTH! My first reaction was to holler MAKELL but I just observed for a few moments. She was thoroughly enjoying every minute of it! I think it's about time to hide the pencil sharpener!
How does a three year old entertain herself? Give her a pack of pencils and an electric pencil sharpener!
Not to happy when I told her she couldn't do that anymore!
Maybe I should suggest to her teacher that she NOT help sharpen pencils at school!

I seem to have pencils missing at my house and "Nobody knows where they went!" I am laughing because I find pencils like that all the time and my kids are older and should know better! :)

That's so funny! She is such a cute girl. I'm sure she could be entertained by that for hours. At least now you know what to do if you're on an important phone call and she needs to be distracted. :)

Funny! I love that story. It's very reassuring to hear that your child isn't the only one who gets into things and isn't the picture perfect child all the time. I am saying this as Hannah has straws all over the house. Plus aren't those memories so cute.

I love this story. It had me laughing out loud! I love this age (as long as it's someone else's child). I'm sure she thought she was being such a help.
