This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things...

Micah and I always say this jokingly to Remi when he makes a big mess. However, yesterday, I wasn't joking when I told him this.

Sharpie all over my new desk and chair...all while I was putting Roen down for nap!











*in case this ever happens to you, nail polish remover works like magic on hard wood surfaces....the chair is hopeless. However, my sweet husband is getting me a new one. I think I have had this chair and desk a total of 3 weeks max! Last week, Remi got chocolate birthday cake all over the seat...I guess this chair was destined to fail from the get go!

OH NO! I dread the day when Kennedie "messes up" something... especially something as costly as a desk or chair. Glad that the marker came out of the desk, and glad that you are getting a new chair, but man- I bet you were totally bummed out. I would have cried.

I am so sorry....but remember life is a canvas and you have to paint your way!!!! He's just getting started. Y'all would always get behind the sofa to do your art work! Love you bunches! Order the chair in black :)

So sorry Lauri. I would have been so sad. I'm glad you are able to get a new one, though. What will you do with this one?

What a bummer! It's so hard trying to entertain Jude while I put Madelynn down for a nap. I usually put him in his room and close the door. He has already colored on one wall, small table, and drum....haha. Toddlers are a cute mess! Glad you are getting a new chair. :)
