Grafittian

Damn those box of crayons.  I guess we knew this day was coming.  Maggie's artist side hit with full force.  She tagged two walls.  As it turns out baking soda works wonders on crayon.  I put her to work the second time and she dutifully scrubbed it all off.   But that didn't stop her.  At least the third time we turned it into a photo opp. She didn't seem to feel too guilty.

  1. That is a great photo! I seriously hear ya on this one. Raymond will point to something (the table, the wall) and say "Paper!" and then proceed to draw on it. At least he sort of understands when I say over and over, "We only draw on paper!" Pretty tricky of him, if you ask me.

  3. Oh man. Three times? That's practically a habit! FYI the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works like a charm on crayon too. :)

  4. She looks very proud standing next to her work of art. how funny! I remember having to use baking soda on our wallpaper for the same reason. It works wonders!

  5. Ya, crayons are not my friends. At all. I love knowing baking soda works though. That is cheaper then magic erasers. My problem with crayons is that my boys like to put them in their pockets and then they go through the wash AND dryer. NOT GOOD. NOT FUN. Do you think baking soda would work on that too? That picture is the best. Seriously. I love Maggie. Love her.
