DH said that these pictures are worth more than getting the couch professionally cleaned. Melted my heart.

LOL! Priceless....caught! This is when they start to realize that mommy is smarter than them.
Oh My. I would cry! I hope you get it off. My son already scribbled on our couch and the walls, the radiator, floors, you name it. But our couch is dark leather and the part I didn't get off doesn't show very much. But on such a light colored couch... I hope you find a miracle product!

I'm so impressed that you are handling this calmly and with some laughter. I would have had a cow. But the photo is priceless.

i know i cried for you. I'm stunned at how you have such a great attitude about it. I'd be uh freaked, to say it mildly. LOL

Definitely one of those photos that you'll appreciate later more than you do right now! But your DH's response was so sweet. I have had...more than a few photos like that. There's one couch that I don't even bother trying to clean it off anymore. Only washable Crayola materials allowed in our house ('cause some of the other brands' washable seems not to be), but on that 1 couch it doesn't seem to matter. Thankfully, washable does seem to help on everything else. Good luck getting it off!

Your DH has a great attitude about it! :wub:
Same here! We have the same furniture we got the year we got married. Next month we'll celebrate 14 years so you can guess how old the furniture is. LOL It has been repaired a few times over the years and we just keep using it because I hate the thought of spending a lot and getting something we love only to have the kids mess it up. My aunt had the same sectional from the time she got married until her youngest was 17 (about 25 years) and that thing was so beat up by the time she got rid of it but it had been through everything and held up.. and it was a dark brown and didn't show all those kid stains.
Oh boy, Yari. Good luck with that. This is exactly why we don't have one single solitary piece of nice furniture in our house. And, we probably won't for quite a few years.
ETA: I love that his shirt simply says, "BOY." No need to explain any further.

Oh no.
We stopped at Bed, Bath and Beyond tonight and the "special" that the girl wanted to sell was some non-toxic cleaner that you could use on your carpet and she kept stressing that you could also use it on the upholstery of your car. Don't know if it would help with your couch but there was a list of types of stains you could use it on at the register.
I called to find out the name of it: Folex Professional Carpet Spot Remover.
And I'm not in business with Bed Bath and Beyond or this stain product. Just a coincidence and maybe it could help.
ETA: Those photos are precious.

LOL! Thanks! Yes, they are "washable" but it's not coming off easily. Some friends suggested some methods to clean it so I will try that.

Oh my goodness!!! I got a DARK brown couch for that reason. I would call a professional carpet/sofa cleaner of some sort. They might be able to do a real job.

My abby did this too.. on the wall.. and then said she didn't do it. I said... abby.. it's your handwriting and YOUR NAME. I am so not stupid. Dang kids. :cursing:
How's it going Yari? Is it coming out at all? I would just curl up and cry, I think. :blink:

Caitrin colored all over the wall with markers the day after we brought her new brother home from the hospital. That was the only time she's ever done something like that though. The boy on the other hand... I had to touch up paint in his room, his sister's room and the living room where he had colored.

{giggle} I would die SO MUCH MORE if this happened at my inlaws! Their house is always spotless; it's always so stressful for me to be there with my children.
And this is why we don't allow markers in our house. Or paint. Or bubble gum.
I hope it comes out, and if it doesn't at least now you'll have some great sex tonight. Or at least *I* would if my husband said something so darn in tune with who I am as a person, lol.

I'm so :thumbup: that you had the presence of mind to snap a photo. And your DH? Yeah, that's a scrapbooker's DH, lol
