Sharpe Catastrophe!!!

Just this past week, Morgan decided to take it upon herself to redecorate her room.  As we were busy making lunch, Morgan quietly entertained herself in her bedroom, or so we thought...

She successfully decorated her bed, Madison's bed, the nightstand, toybox AND the closet door...

After some web searching and Sharpe hotline calling, we found that rubbing alcohol and 'Goof Off' seemed the most successful at removing the marker (in case anyone out there is in need of this extremely valuable information).  After some heavy duty scrubbing...and careful wiping (the Goof Off starting removing the Sharpe, but also the paint along with it), we removed most of the damage.

It came off of the drawers above, the toybox and the nightstand.  Unfortunately the closet door and the footboard did not make it... Fortunately, the headboard and footboard on the bed are identical, so a little switch-a-roo on the bed and Voila!  We also did a little switch on the closet door as well - unscrew the hardware, turn the door around and Yippee!  All signs of Sharpe marker - GONE! 

Well...except for the few marks on the carpet.  We're not going to complain though...we could've been shopping for all new furniture! 

AAAAHHHH the joys of a 3 year old!!

JJ's Birthday and Commencement

JJ turns 10!  It still amazes me how quickly time goes by! 

JJ and some of his friends had a blast at laser tag.  Unfortunately we couldn't take pictures inside the course, but from what the kids say, "it's a foggy, dark obstacle course that's soooo much fun!"



The week following his birthday, JJ walked through 4th grade Commencement at school.  We are so proud of how hard he worked this past year!  Great job, Bud!!
