Do you know how...

...to remove CRAYON from carpet??? I don't! I am just hoping that it magically disappears one day! Apparently, Ben thought Andy's room could use a touch of color, so he colored some of the carpet purple and some orange. Beautiful! Ben's really into coloring things that really need no color these days. Saturday, the boys were coloring with markers at the table--no big deal. But, I guess Ben thought it would be super to look like the red Power Ranger. So, that's when I discovered the markers they were using are NOT washable! Oops...His hands were still pink the next day at church. Sunday night I scrubbed them so hard he told me I was hurting his skin! I threw the markers away.
In other news, Andy's class has been studying the solar system and the other night we were checking out the stars. I explained to him that we can only see stars at night, and he said, "Well, there's one star we only see during the day." I say, "No, we can only see them at night." He gently reminds me, "Well, the sun is a star and you can't see it at night." Oh, yeah.
(So if anyone reading this happens to have a child in my class, I promise I explained things the right way there! I even explained how Pluto is no longer considered a planet, remember???)
And Happy Earth Day!!!
