So, as you all saw, Avery did beautiful artwork on my couches. The video didn't do it justice. It was a lot worse than it looked. Not to mention it was Red, Blue and Green PERMANENT marker! My brother used to work for Chem Dry, so when it happened, I called him and he said that I'd probably make it worse if I tried to fix it myself so just call someone to get it out... so $120 later, I now have a semi clean couch. They could get the green and red out, but for some reason, the blue wouldn't come out. It's faded a ton, but you can still see it. That's one expensive piece of artwork! One thing I forgot to mention, when I saw the marker, I went over to the couch and gasped (of course). Then I started calling for Avery. I think she knew she wasn't supposed to do that because she was hiding under our kitchen table not making a sound! It was pretty funny actually. The best thing about it is that Kaden ratted her out. Kaden found her and said, "MOM, she's under the table!" (So much for having a protective brother!)
So, I've decided to start a "destruction" list of all the things AVery gets into. Just last week she drew on my couch (as you all saw), rolled out two different rolls of toilet paper all over the house, got into a bag of tiny rocks that were supposed to go in her fish tank and "played" in them all over her carpet, spilled a box of Cheerios, and dumped out a whole container of conditioner in the bathtub for "bubbles". She's just so curious right now. Good thing she is so cute!
We'll see what next week brings.

Interesting! For me, it's blue sidewalk chalk stains that I can't get out of my kids' clothes. What is it about blue stains, I wonder?
I'm tellin' ya, the cutest ones make the biggest messes!!! Love the video...especially the frame of her pouty face before you hit play...she cracks me up!
If they weren't so cute, it would be easier to beat 'em - then to just laugh, don't ya think?
Oh Man! sorry about the couch. Avery is too cute. I can totally see her hiding under the table. The best part is... is that your table is so tall and shes so little and yet she felt hidden under it.
I hate to tell you but you would think at age 4 they would know better... Sadie took a green marker and traced all the grout lines on our kitchen floor.
