Good morning...

Averi is a sneaky little thing! She knows she is not supposed to touch markers,pens,crayons or nail polish. She knows that if she finds it she is to give it to mommy and daddy... NOT write all over our house! Well at some point yesterday she must have found a sharpie and hid it in her room because when Auntie K (kev and I had a college thing to go to so Kristin babysat for us)put her to bed she didn't see it and when we got home she was sound asleep and we put her baby gate up so she couldn't get out of her room without us letting her out!
Well this morning Kev went in after she woke up and found this...








Apparently she woke up, quietly got out of her bed, sneaked to where she had hidden her forbidden sharpie and went straight to work. Oh my what a mess. She was the easiest to clean, a little dawn dish soap did the trick, the carpet looks far better with a mix of oxy clean and a magic eraser and the door and windowsill are getting there. After spending twenty minutes and getting very little scrubbed on the wall we decided to just paint her room and prime over the black marker, we had planned to paint any ways!
At first we were both in shock and the first reaction was of course to scream... but after Kevin disciplined Av and had a little talk with her all we could do was laugh, ofcourse we didnt let her see us laugh!

I mean, really. If she's gonna do it, she better do it up right.

What a great story. Glad you have pictures to show her someday! :)

hey! i found your blog by accident and LAUGHED at this story - because Sharpies are banned at our house too after Chloe took them to her bedding and bed - I can totally identify with the frustration that the stuff doesn't come off of anthing but skin (and even with scrubbing it well!) Glad that things are going well for ya in TN!! - Katharine Schramkowski
