Thank you alcohol!

Today I am very thankful for potent products that remove stains.
  • Jordan decided to color both pant legs with red pen yesterday at school. Not just a line...both thighs were completely red. At first I thought it was paint. I am very thankful that hairspray took it off. He's almost 10 years old....the little creep.
  • Mason decided to write on our fairly new couch with black pen. When hairspray didn't take it out, I tried nail polish remover and that did the trick. Yeah! I never even saw him do this, nor did I find a black pen anywhere. I just happened to notice the artwork.
  • Lexi had a shirt that had a sticker on it and I missed it when it went through the wash. It came out with a goo stain that wouldn't come off. Luckily, I had some goof off. That did the trick. Hooray.

I hope I don't have to remove any more stains today. I hate removing stains and the never ending loads of laundry.

I laughed out loud when reading your blog. Especially the "little creep" statement. That is true motherhood!! Hang in there. It's true that it is only for a moment!!!

Kristi you are sooo funny! I love the title of this post. It totally scared me at first! I'm glad that my kids aren't the only ones that require creative stain removal tactics.
