Why am I ever fooled by a moment of quiet? You would think I would have learned this lesson by now!
This is in our playroom downstairs.
Any ideas on how to get sh@rpie m@rker off of a wall WITHOUT taking the paint?
I did find a way to clean it off of the armrests. I used a baby wipe and baking soda. There is not a mark on our futon now. This is supposed to work on the wall too but our paint isn't the best on this wall. Another idea was Pine Sol (non-diluted) on a damp cloth. Both worked if the paint were of a higher quality.
Poor Buzz didn't see it coming! My son also managed to color the tv but it was on the black part of the tv. No harm there!

How Precious!
They do grow up I promise... and then these pictures will really come in handy. I especially love that he and Buzz look so much alike now.
I'd say the solution is new paint!
Mr. Clean's magic eraser. It's wonderful. works on so many different things. Not sure about sharpie on a wall, but it's worth a try.
OH MY GOODNESS! You do have a budding artist in your midst! I'm just loosing it laughing. If you can't get the sharpie marker off the wall Kilz bonder primer before you paint over it. I'll pray!
BEAT THAT CHILD! Though he is a good looking kid! He looks like a poorly conceived superhero!
Poor Mommy. Poor, poor Mommy.

Oh my word! Here I was, coming to thank you for the Congrats on winning at Momma Roar's, and I see *this*. Bless your heart! I am so very lucky that my girls never tried this. Although, my new lil' guy just might, when he gets older, LOL.
Ditto Kathryn on the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. That thing is a mom's new best friend!
Mr. Clean magic eraser took sharpie off of several playroom shelves that Toot drew on. The pictures make me cringe! But hopefully it will all come off.
OH MY WORD! He went all out didn't he? I hope someone has a good suggestion for you. Have you googled it?
I would also recommend the magic eraser. My niece drew with a white board marker on the walls in one of our church classrooms and Mr Clean came to the rescue!
He is a cutie!!
I gasped looking at my computer's monitor!!!!!!!!!!
Mark quietness lead to him eating my Chapstick. Will that hurt him??? :)
OH! MY! WORD! I can't help but laugh!
Bless your heart!
I SO feel your pain! Quiet = trouble.....and I've had so many of those traumatic moments!!
Magic Eraser does work, but that wall is a HUGE area to sit and scrub forever. If it were me, I'd just prime over it w/ Kilz (at Lowe's) and just re-paint. It's good excuse to re-decorate your basemenet!
**GASP**
Did you freak out? Cause I would have freaked out...:)
And definitely, try the magic eraser...if all else fails, you may need a gallon of Kilz and more white paint! :)

I have been away from reading due to my kids being home from Texas. I missed this one. My 18 years old is sitting right here as I read. Her responce was, "Don't his parents watch him?" Lord, help me! We needed eyes all over our heads with her and it still was not enough. My heart is just going out to you. I laughted, but my stomach is knotted up at the memory of all I went through with Jen at that age. It's really not funny when it's your child. I cried A LOT! Looking back I am so thankful that she never really hurt herself or anyone else and everything else was just "stuff."
Just remember he is a precious little boy with a wonderful gifted mind. He is looking at the world, the walls, and seeing creativity. If he knows he's really being naughty it's one thing, but is he is just looking for an outlet for his energy and his creativity he just needs to be guided and directed as to how to channel that in the correct direction. Yes, Jenna did get "corrected" over and over to teach her right from wrong, but she was a very bright child and by school age she amazed her teacher at how creative and brillant she really was.
Hang in there my friend. I love that little boy! He is God's creation. He is set apart from every other child ever created on the face of this earth. God has great things in store for him!
Much love to you guys as you continue to train him.
PS A friend of mine has used Mr. Clean in the orange bottle on many things. I don't know how it will work for you on the walls, but it's worth trying.
There is a paint called KILZ that will cover it up and not let it bleed back through. Repaine ans use glossy paint is the only way to go. Next time you are in a commercial building look ast the wall and see that the lower 2/3rds of the wall is glossy paint and only the upper third is flat. MUD
Just catching up...
My hubby is sitting beside me, so I showed him & he echoed my sentiment: "Oh, wow!"
HOW FUNNY!!! Bless your heart!!
