So Finley got a hold of the same pink sharpie that is proudly (by some) displayed on our 2 of our stairs and decided to do some artwork in our bonus room.
Our loveseat (above) and our couch below now have fine shades of pink to go with the beige microfiber. I would like to point out that this new pink covers up the blue ink quite nicely.
She also thought the dish that I was using for my almonds was much too boring plain white so she dumped the almonds on the floor while she made some "improvements"
Improvements were also done to some paper, a blank dvd + a workout dvd case that belongs to the Calgary Public Library. Can they fine you for that? I shall soon find out....
She also added her signature scribble to one of the cushions in the bonus room. Granted, I am so over them + was interested in getting new ones, however, I have yet to find any that I like!!
The last improvement that was done was to one of her diapers. Apparently, the fact that they had no pink in them was not to her liking. I am just grateful that she didn't hit up Penelope's cloth diapers. That would have been too tragic.....
When Finley came downstairs with pink marker across her cheek, my heart literally stopped. I immediately checked her shirt that she was wearing and was so happy that there were no markers on that. It was brand new from Mexx and really quite liked it. I then began the dreaded walk upstairs to see where the damage was and prayed to the good lord above that she did not touch our TV screen, my macbook, the cloth diapers and some other clothes that were in the dirty laundry pile + most importantly, her sister.
This happened in a very short window, like less than 5 minutes. I was downstairs warming a bottle for Penelope and putting laundry into the dryer. Greg was not very impressed when he saw what she did especially when he realized I was the one who left the marker unattended. Oh well, hopefully it will wear off because I am not replacing any furniture or carpet until Penelope is 5. So it will be a long time that we will have a beige + pink couch!
The joys of having children. :) GD
ReplyDeleteBecky, try taking a dry erase marker and drawing over Sharpie ink on plastic items, like the library DVD case. Then, take a tissue and wipe. It should come off (this tends to work on stuff that is plastic-y). ...And on the off chance that it doesn't... well, it can't really get any worse, can it? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe other stuff - I have no ideas. Sorry. :-)
Becky I had read some where that blotting and some different cleaning supplies will take marker off microfiber. here is a website that has some more information.
