chalk crime scene

Yesterday the kids asked me if they could play out front with the chalk and the chalk paint. We have plenty of driveway and sidewalk in front of the house that they can decorate, plus it's an activity that keeps them outside and away from the TV, so I agreed. A little bit later, I went to check on them and discovered a murder! Or at least a crime scene, complete with a chalk weapon on the ground. The driveway was covered with chalk outlines of bodies and splashed with (pink) blood! Oh, the carnage! Fortunately, all of the children are still alive and they only metaphorically murdered each other. Maybe the next time they want to play outside, I'll give them a bucket of water and a mop so they can wash the crime scene off of the driveway.
