Yes, due to experiences like these, Sharpie is now a four letter word in my house. My three year old son and I had a few battles of our own [like this] last summer. I completely advocate Mr. Clean eraser sponges. What ever made that sweet little soul choose red of all colors? Perhaps he was channeling his inner-designer? I give him a 10 for bold color choice. I cannot believe you actually got this out! Ugggggghhh.

I must have envisioned that this could happen. And so all permanent markers were stored in a cabinet high up near the wine glasses, while all the washable ones were at kid level. Ditto the superglue and the epoxy. Funny thing is, the kid is in college now but those Sharpies are still up by the wine glasses! Oh my. I must have envisioned that this could happen.

It almost did just looking at the photos! Can't wait to hear all about your patent pending process in case the unthinkable every happens here... (I don't have kids so it's unlikely, thank goodness. I don't think I'm capable of that easy going). I think my head would have exploded. It almost did just looking at the photos!

When I first glanced at it I thought "where did she find such an awesome modern couch with a unique design?" I kid you not. Then I realized.... Maybe you could get some red throw pillows and accents and work it into the room for now :) Side question: I've been eyeing that very sofa @ Macys for some time now. Love the retro look of it. It got mixed reviews on the website, though. Do you like it? Do you use it a lot? Would you get it again? Just curious! Wow.

I just happened across your blog and I must say those top two pics had me giggle out loud. Although I must add I thought that just couldn't be! And because it was not ME! OH my, one creative little fellow there... maybe you should do one room in his wall with the chalkboard paint and give him chalk and then he could draw draw draw create just on that wall and know it was ok... LOL.. I paint murals so I just laugh because I paint on people's walls all the time. I use to take my 3 year old and would always come home and think he probably thinks it is ok to just draw and paint on walls because mommy does it all the time in other's homes.. LOL.. but he never was THAT creative!! Oh man, I just can't imagine walking in and viewing it at the first viewing... ((hand on head falling backwards to the gournd)) who was in charge of watching him while he was being so creative, I imagine it took a little bit of time to create such an artistic masterpiece! :O) That's why God makes toddles so stinkin cute! so you don't kill them in instances like this!! Good luck with getting the remaining out!! OMG! I just happened across your blog and I must say those top two pics had me giggle out loud. Although I must add I thought that just couldn’t be!
