Praise the Lord!!!!!!!

A few posts ago I put out a desperate plea for help in removing permanent marker from carpet. Before I could remove the red circles, Abby struck again, this time with a blue dry erase marker . . . where she got it from I DON"T Know! Thankfully Joshua was home this time. He caught her and "talked" to her and some other things and then he brought out a cleaner they used to use when he was in the upholstery business, one he had used on the carpet in the van to remove car oil. So we tried it first on the blue and it worked wonderfully, then we thought it was worth trying on the red and don't you know . . . husbands are so smart! No more marker on my carpet that is! Now we just have to break her of it. She also managed to color her arms and legs and culottes. I hope this is not an indication that one day she's going to want a ta too! Well, that was my highlight for the week! It doesn't take much to excite me, especially considering the prospect of possibly having to buy a whole new room of carpet is gone!
