MAGIC Marker is what Whitney climbed onto a stool to grab yesterday while I was in the back of the house. I found it all over my countertop and linoleum kitchen floor when I came out to see what she was doing.
MAGIC is how I would describe my reaction. I put her in timeout without raising my voice.
MAGIC is the type of Eraser I keep around for just such emergencies. It was an old MAGIC Eraser, however. While it took every speck of evidence off the countertop, the floor did not fare so well.
MAGICally, I was able to find some great advice on the internet. I doubted it would work, but was willing to try anything.
Like MAGIC is how the combination of toothpaste and baking soda (and a little elbow grease) worked to clean every stroke of ink off my floor. When Ryan came home, he couldn't even tell where the incident had occurred. I wish I had taken pictures!

I am so impressed you didn't yell or tell her no more coloring for the rest of her life. You are a saint. :) Glad you managed to get it all cleaned up!
Wow! What a magical experience that must have been. A memorable one, for sure. I'm glad it came out alright. Thank goodness for the Internet, right?
I believe in magic and I'm grateful there is magic to believe in! I'm glad you were able to clean it up! I enjoy reading your posts, sorry I don't comment every time... but you know how school life is! Hope you get all your stuff packed and have a happy moving day!
Your post was magically creative! Sorry about your countertops and floors. Glad you got it out.
Great job! I love those magic erasers!
I love this post. You're too cute! Glad you were able to get the marker out!
I have to say I am more impressed that you were able to keep your cool than being able to find something that would take it out of the floor. Actually, I don't see you being the type of person to lose your cool EVER (you're way too kind for that) but I would've. It would've been hard for me to control it. I'm glad it's all out though.
