A week in the Mark Zone, March 2-8, 2008

Does anyone know what this is? Mark found these somewhere in the house on Saturday, of course he can't recall where it was he found them, (he was found trying to stick them in the dirt of a plant) and no one in my house will claim, accept, or acknowledge responsibility for these little bottles of something that is apparently a "treatment." One is empty and one is full. So we are putting it out for discussion. The open one still had a little liquid in in but there was no smell, and the liquid appeared to contain some type of oil.

UPDATE: Brian has confirmed the bottles are a New Skin facial treatment.


New Rules for Mark this week:

1. No liquid of any form outside the kitchen. (Mark took a glass of water up to his bedroom, and dumped it on the floor. Then he took a red scripture pencil and drew on the wet carpet, leaving lovely red stain on his cream colored carpet. Oxy Clean to the rescue.)

2. No bringing play ground bark inside. (Mark thought his Thomas the Tank Engine table needed some additional landscaping, along with the carpet surrounding the table. Dyson vacuum to the rescue.)
Most irrational temper tantrum of the week:
On Saturday morning Rick made pancakes. Mark asked to have chocolate chips in his pancakes and Rick agreed, however when Mark saw the chocolate chips that Rick was putting in he started pitching a fit, and threw himself on the floor in a fit of rage, because he wanted a different color of chocolate chips. I asked Rick if he wanted white chocolate chips and Rick said "no" he just wanted a different color of brown for his chocolate chips.

Things Mark has broken/damaged/dirtied this week:

1. Mark had an "accident" (of course after I had done the laundry) and left a wet spot on the stairs. Again Oxy Clean to the rescue.

2. Mark pulled the portable DVD player off the treadmill. It still has power but I have not been brave enough yet to try a DVD to see if it still works.

3. Mark took sidewalk chalk and drew all over his Crocks (clogs) when he was supposed to be drawing pictures on the sidewalk. Water to the rescue.


Things Mark excelled at this week:

1. Mark said the dinner prayer all on his own 4 times.

2. Mark said his bedtime prayers all on his own once.

3. Mark helped me do two loads of laundry. (He likes to put the dirty clothes in the washing machine and pour the soap in.)

4. Mark picked up the apple bits he spit out while consuming an apple. (This I guess could also fall under the broken/damages/dirtied category, however this was the first time I actually got him to clean up his apple debris. Another day, another time I will explain how Mark eats an apple.)

Tiffany, it looks like something from NuSkin or that company Mike works for. Some facial treatment probably. Love your blog!

oh how we love the Mark stories, highly entertaining!

Those tubes remind me of the little tube of oil that comes in the home hair dye kits, to mix in with the dye.
