Magic Marker

Ok so yesterday was the day from hell! I have been in kind "spring cleaning" fall mode going through closets switching to fall clothes. The girls were getting into lots of stuff. They climbed up on the counter and eat several chocolate chip cookies each. Then climbed up again into the cupboards and opened new containers of the little $1 cookie cups and started downing those. It had been less then 2 minutes since I had checked on them when Kloey comes into the room with stuff all over her face. I realized what it was and started frantically leaving the room to find the halls covered in magic marker all the way to the couch and living room walls. I was dying. It was everywhere! I called my mom in a panic and she was kind enough to help me scrub it all down. I am thankful for this couch to have been microfiber and just buying a new box of magic erasers the day before. Also just two weeks earlier I felt suckered into one of those expensive cleaners they sale door to door with their sales pitch of this can get out marker. Boy am I grateful I bought it. It got almost everything out. The day continued with short naps and tons of tantrums to the final straw of the day...I was trying to fix dinner while also trying to look up something on the computer for Seth and found that they had dumped out the full cupboard of DVDs and started taking all the disc out and spreading them all over. I had reach my limit so even though dinner wasn't ready yet I locked them in their highchairs and just listened to them whine and cry but at least I knew where they were. So I am hoping for better days to come.
