Last week, Addyson and Braelie got a hold of some left over marinara from breadsticks. Before I knew what happened they had eaten it in Drake's room. I somehow got it all out (i think), there was a lot on the floor. Although, now my home may forever smell of vinegar. I guess I need to put a lock on the fridge. :(
A few months earlier, Drake opened a box, found some nail polish, and dumped it on the carpet. I walked in as it was happening, and It was white...so at least no one will ever know. Needless to say, I got my boxes unpacked really quick after that. I guess I shouldn't have purchased new carpet if it isn't going to stay nice. :) We are really trying to be careful, it looks so nice, I want to keep it nice.
Sorry, I didn't take pictures of the stories above, I was busy cleaning it up before it set in.
Yesterday, I walked into the kitchen and saw this...
Crayon on the newly painted wall and new fridge! So my question, do magic erasers actually work? HAHA
If it doesn't, I may have to put vinyl above it that says ARTWORK! ;)
This last one wasn't the kids, but it seems to fit in with the post.
My curtains are close to the fireplace. My husband lights the fires with a propane torch (an awesome way to light a fire). Anyway, I had warned him that he waved it too close to the curtains. And when this happened, neither of us noticed, until the next day. I guess I am counting my blessings that my curtains are not flammable, or we may have been homeless!
Magic erasers do work, amazingly! I'd definitely try them. If it for some reason doesn't get the crayon off the wall us a hair dryer to heat up and melt the wax and it'll wipe off easier. I had to do that last year at my parents' when Karl decorated the wall. And I have to lock my fridge too; Theo loves to pull everything out. Good luck, and I'm sorry for all of your disasters!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! I hope this post didn't come off as me complaining, but it is part of real life. And I wouldn't trade my bad days, it helps me keep things in perspective. It was interesting to me how everything happened within a few days :) I will pick up some erasers next time I go to town, I have never had a reason to try them.
