You know when your house is quiet with a toddler you should not wait a second and find them. FAST! That usually is a bad combination. I really and truly know better....go back and read my post titled "Busted'. When Cody is loud then for the most part all is good....when you don't hear him, something bad is happening.
Anyway....last week I was on the phone on doing a few things around the house. All was good.....then I went to look for my sweet little boy and O my! He had gotten a tiny bottle of white-out and painted the study. I say tiny because it is a small bottle but it sure does hold a lot. If I had been in a 'blogging' type of mode I would have taken some pictures but instead I went into panic/cleanup mode. For such a small bottle it made a huge mess....and all my words can not 'paint' the picture for you. There were 50,000 spots of white-out all on the wood floors, upholstered chairs, leather chair, desk and Cody. But, to top that off our Chocolate Labradoodle was pinned in there with him....yep you guessed it....she is now our chocolate skunkadoodle! Unfortunately she will be a skunkadoodle until her next grooming.....which will be several months away.
I called the girls down and got all hands on deck with wet rags. The big spots came up fairly easily but there had to be thousands of little specks that we had to scrap off with our nails. It took at least an hour to get it all cleaned up.

Cody is the type of kid that really does not like to get dirty. When we started cleaning the floors and not him he got all in a tissy. Here is a picture of him sitting on the desk screaming because he was a 'mess'....like it was my fault! Thank goodness I had not gotten my act together and put clothes on him....they would of been trash.
And, just to let you know white out does not come off of skin easily. When Dell got in that night we were able to scrub his legs, feet, toenails, head, chin and fingers with Goof Off. I can look back now and laugh but at the time it was not funny....just wish I had gotten a picture. It looked like the marshmallow man exploded.

Lord help you. (and Cody) He really is a boy, isn't he?! Loved hearing the story...
OH MY! Glad it was you and not me. Amanda got into my make up the other day and it was a mess. I'm still trying to get the lipstick stains out of my bathroom rug. UGH!
