Little Sister Vandalized

Poor Faith was vandalized during her morning nap. She was just sleeping away and Noah was…yes, you guessed it…playing with his trains. I went upstairs to try to get the ink out of the load of clothes from yesterday (I’ll tell you more about that in a bit) and when I came back down, I looked around the corner and seen something on Faith’s head. As I got closer, I seen a sticker on her finger and there were a couple on her shorts too. I guess Noah wasn’t playing with his trains the whole time, he did manage to vandalize his sister too!!!

I told Rick to come and look and Noah came over too…we asked him what he did and he just said “Faith stickers” and then proceeded to pull them back off of her, and she slept right through it!!! Guess she must be used to being picked on by Noah!!!

Now, about the laundry…first of all, this is all Rick’s fault!!! I did a load of laundry yesterday morning and when it was done, I went to go put everything away. I pulled out the first shirt and there were spots all over it, so I hesitantly pulled out the next shirt only to see the same thing. I put my head in the dryer and started yelling at Rick right away. He had left a pen in his shorts pocket and it decided to explode all over. Now I ask, why does he not clean out his pockets before throwing it into the hamper? Second, how did the pen manage to stay in the pocket during the wash cycle (at least I’m assuming it did, otherwise one would think it would have been at the bottom of the washer or at least fell out when I transferred the clothes to the dryer. Third, why couldn’t I have at least kept the shorts out to air dry!! Luckily, it was a dark load of laundry, so you can’t tell if there are ink stains on some of our black shorts or black tshirts and there was also some towels that were in there that I happen to let air dry, so those were saved!! The other clothes have not manage to fair so well. I’ve tried hairspray, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and we even bought some Goo Gone stuff and nothing has worked!!! Faith has lost a cute outfit that she only wore once, Noah lost a pair of shorts, Rick lost a good pair of shorts and some shirts, and I lost some shirts. Some shirts where not hit as hard and we could still wear them for everyday and there were also a couple bibs that only had a few spots on them, so we can keep those too. The dryer looks like…a pen exploded in it!! We did get most of it off the stainless steel drum, but the back of the dryer looks like a mess, but I’m sure it’s just burnt into it. Way to go Rick!!!
