What a Day!

Sunday turned out to be a nightmare. Scott left early in the morning to go help our good friends move, so I was left alone with the kids. No big deal right, I do it everyday. Well this day turned out a little different. I was upstairs bathing and changing Hannah while Evan was downstairs watching T.V.. It sounded so quiet I thought I better go check on Evan. When I got downstairs I was horrified to see my entire couch covered in BLACK PERMANENT MARKER. I lost it! I was so upset that my couch was ruined. It was on every cushion and every armrest, so I couldn't just turn over the cushions and call it good. I was in need of HELP. I called Scott and he said you can't do anything. I called my mom to see what to do, but she didn't answer. I decided I would spray carpet cleaner on it. I let it sit for a while and then tried to rub it out. It didn't work so I looked on line to see what to do. They recommended using rubbing alcohol. Thankfully I had some and tried that. With half a bottle of alcohol and a lot of work I was able to remove the stains, however I still had to turn over the cushions. I know your thinking how did Evan get a permanent marker, trust me I was thinking the same thing. I looked all over and realized that he opened a junk drawer that had no lock on it. We usually lock everything up but when we were packing to move Scott transferred the junk drawer. OOPS.

Later that day Evan dumped a whole container of animal crackers on the floor. I asked him to pick them up and he refused so I put him in time out. He then told me he would so he walked over to the mess and started to pick up two, which made me believe he was going to pick them all up. I headed to the bathroom and the next thing I heard was the vacuum. So naturally I went to see what was up. Evan had pulled the small hand vac from the corner of our bedroom into the hallway and was on his knees with both hands sucking up all of the crackers. It definitely gave me a laugh so I had to snap a picture. You can tell he has seen us do this many times before :)

My day was crazy and I hope not to ever have that experience again.
