HOLY S**T

Will left to go out of town this morning until late Wednesday night and it didn't start off so hot. Before he had even left the house Sophia had stumbled on a black permanent marker in our kitchen junk drawer! I was upstairs and when I came down to check on her (because I found her complete silence a little suspicious) I discovered that she'd been drawing on everything. Not just the 8 different wall spots, but also the top and front of the garbage can, both red throw pillows on the leather couch, the couch itself, the table my brother just made us, another table (much less nice), the marble fireplace, my Boppy pillow, the Pack-n-Play, her own face (as a cat), AND Lamby's face (she told me he was now a YAK!). Didn't you hear, yaks are making a comeback!?!

Oh man!!!!! What a mess. Here are the pictures to prove it. Poor Lamby will never be the same. He's scarred for good. I have wall and trim paint so I can take care of those messes. I also found a way to remove all the marker from the table and marble, but it's going to take a long time. Not sure about the leather couch yet. I think the throw pillows are gonners! Sophia's face and arms are looking much cleaner after a 45 minute bath tonight.

Oh, man. That's rough. Three words from a co-worker. Ambidex and Magic Eraser. He was able to get the permanent marker out of his leather couch.

Wait, it's Amodex. It'll get it out of the leather couch.

Thanks, Mike. Magic Eraser is what I found for the table. It's going to take me forever to get off, but it works!! I'll have to get some Amodex. Hopefully I can find it.
