This is What I Get
This is what I get for leaving the crayons in Carson's reach when I was ignoring him while blogging taking care of his sister.
Ahem.

36 People are even more brilliant:
We have the same interior designer!! Looks fabulous.
Just found you. Love the stories. The 1 hour parent thing, yeah, gotta point it out every day.
At least it was crayons and not Sharpies.....
I wondered once why in the world they made washable crayons. Then I had children.
It really is lovely...he used every color!
You really should keep your crayons on top of the fridge out of his reach..or better yet, teach him to start with to ONLY color on paper. Really Jennifer, did playgroup teach you nothing?? ;)
oh my god I've sooo been there. hope they were washable crayons!
I do hope you learned from my mistake of not listening to God and went and purchased some totally awesome!
So! Pretty!
Oh no. Well, looks like it should be an easy clean up job. Hope it all came out. Like Heather said, if nothing else use Awesome. I've been an Awesome user for 7 years now, and I swear by it.
I love how the tile now picks up some of the faint colors in the rug.
That's an artiste you have there.
We live in a parallel universe.
The same thing happened to me three weeks, but I was snoozing in the recliner. Thankfully, he found the washable crayons. I have since gotten rid of anything nonwashable and just let him go for it. Thats how much I value a nap these days.
And this is why I love Mr Clean Magic Eraser!
Magic Eraser...Fixes everything!!!
But it doesn't give you eyes in the back of your head damnit!
Take comfort in that it could have been so much worse. The crayons could have been permanent markers. And instead of tile, it could have been his skin. Still irritating though, isn't it?
Ha, my kids gave the dog apple juice and mayonnaise when I accidentally nodded off...I won't be doing that again.
hey you're site doesn't like me anymore. When I open it in Internet Explorer it says operation aborted and kicks me out. Should I be taking that personally ?
(hee hee I just access it with Firefox and its all good)
oops.. I think I need to go back to school ...that should have said "your" site.
...and he didn't get it on the wall? Lucky.
HAHAHA
Well, babyhead is allowed his crayons...but we ONLY buy him CRAYOLA WASHABLE. You should see my walls. LOL Everyone, even DH, is amazed I let him draw on everything...but the Crayola Washables take nothing to wash off. I figure he is gonna do it anyway, may as well make it easy to clean. :-)
...Maybe I will take some pictures and send em to ya.
:-D
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It'll come up very easily!
Mr. Clean is the man to call in when one of your children has acted out due to sibling rivalry. ;)
But I'm assuming you know that.
Sorry Jen! At least it was on tile.... and you have a budding artist!
I HATE crayons...they are the devil! I just recently bought some new ones after I threw out all the ones that had been used to color on our brand new LCD TV screen (didn't come off, but didn't matter because daughter threw her sippy cup at it and broke a while later!), all the walls in our house, and the wood floors. And guess what my daughter did with her new box of crayons?? She colored on the freshly painted wall in the toy room! Right before we try to sell our house! Yay for crayons!
(WD-40 is a miracle worker when it comes to removing crayons! Try it!)
I don't know. I think it's kind of pretty. You know, in your house, maybe not mine.
Lucky you. Although you really are lucky. Lucky it wasn't paint on the carpet... Have fun with your budding artist. :)
Ohhhh pretty. :)
Yeah, I'm with the people above, at least it wasn't a sharpie or ink. That shit stains.
409. Buy it in bulk. Don't use Magic Eraser on the walls. It removes the sheen of the paint.
I learned the hard way.
The other day I left the room for SECONDS to put something away. My husband was in the same room, but busy cooking. In those SECONDS, my toddler colored all over the kitchen table & windowsill with marker, and then bit off the tip of the marker. His whole mouth was blue.
okay, I didn't read all the comments...but a Mr Clean eraser will take that right off...
I hope you have Magic Erasers on hand!
Funny, I have the same assortment of colors on a white bookshelf from when I was *ahem* taking care of my other son. Funny how that works.
Too bad you can't hang his masterpiece in the fridge! *snort*
Another for the Mr. Clean eraser camp. It's happened to all of us. Yet another hazing ritual.
I'll see your crayons on floor and raise you pen ink all over carpets and walls.
All while I was tending to my son as well.
*ahem*
dude, that is so nothing. Really you should thank him and hand him a lollipop. Of course my child was recently replaced with one of satan's minions so I guess by comparison most kids handiwork seems mild.
Please don't come over and stare at the wall by our dining room table, the NEW WHITE wall where my daughter took a marker and scribbled a very large (LARGE) red swirly.
No way, that's so my house last week :). This week they focused their redecorating efforts on furniture. I really appreciate their concern for symmetry.
What a wonderful artist, just wait till Ella is old enough to join in to (or eat them as happens in this house)
