Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
OT - Please tell me other people's kids do this too.
The kids were sitting at the table nicely drawing picture on paper. I folded 2 loads of laundry and came back to find this:
I didn't quit believe the story that the 2 year old did all the writing. BTW - The hall is about twice as long as this. The entire wall was covered and some in the next room.
The good news is that with some bleach and lots of scrubbing it all came off.

Oh yeah I catch my kids doing it all the time. So much , that I have banned markers from the house and the crayons are kept on top of our refridgerato, until they can be used with supervision. But I can 't tell you how many pencil /pen drawings I have...thank goodness for Mr Clean Magic Eraser though
I could have written your post! My dd's have written their names on the wall too, and blamed it on the non-writing kid, lol. You'd think if they didn't want to get in trouble, they wouldn't sign their artwork!
When hunter was about 2 he ripped off a huge chnk of wall paper that you could see as soon as you cam in the front door. I hated the wallpaper but ti looked better before he got a hold of it. He then colord in the same spot Callan has colored stuff with sharpie more than once

All my kids have gone on coloring "sprees" labeling everything with their name when they first figure out how to write it. And they can never understand how we KNOW it was them that did it

Yep - I am a Mr. Clean magic eraser gal myself too. Usually I am all about the crunchiest most earth friendly cleaning, but nothing seems to get crayon off the wall like it can without taking the paint with it. I just wear gloves and wipe it down with lots of water when I am done. (they have formaldahyde in them. yuck. but a gals gotta do what a gals gotta do...)

This is me too. Mr Clean works really well and its staying even with me switching all of our other cleaners over to natural products. My kids have done it more times than I care to admit. Isabelle seems to be over it until she joins Alex. Great!
Not Sophie yet... (knock on wood!) So glad it came off!!!!
My now 5 yo dd has done this several times. The latest just a few weeks ago. I thought it was more of a 2 yo thing myself.
