Why We Need a Playroom....

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, we've taken the front of Brooke's crib off to make it a "big girl" bed. Well, it's great...except for one thing. All her toys are in her bedroom because our temporary housing is way too small for a family of 5! So, when she's just not in the mood for a nap (GRRRR) she plays. However, I have to give it to her -- she's pretty smart about it because most of the time she's really quiet. Today she was in there for about 2 hours and we kept telling her to sleep, etc. When we finally went in to get her this is what we found. Yep...those are crayon marks on the sheets, table & chair. Did I mention how much we LOVE her! :)

So, pray for us as we are constantly searching for new house down here -- that it will have 4 bedrooms so that her toys can be off-limits during nap time. HA!

Oh-no! I guess we all have to experience that at some point. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser gets crayon off of just about anything.

OH NO!!!!!!! Yes, I say craft stuff out of the bedroom :) I would suggest oxi-clean and a good soak in hot water for the crayon and yes, magic eraser will be perfect for the table & chairs....

At least those markers are Color Wonder :) Were you able to get the crayon stain out of the sheets?

I read that if you put papertowels on either side of the fabric and then press with a warm iron, it will soak up the crayon.

We never had a separate room for the toys either, but they will still find a way. Jackson actually took a green pecan from the yard and "drew" on the wall. It never came off. Guess the new owners have probably painted over it by now!
