cheerio mom 2 - This is more of a rant than anything, but still a horror story to share. First I will say that I am not the type to promote products usually but this was amazing so far. Here is what happened...

My "darling husband" was watching my kids (2 & 5) for an evening, he was otherwise busy lets say for a short time. In that time my kids thought it would be fun to paint their toe nails. Not with nail polish, no laytex paint, which one did they choose? The hot pink quart I had stashed in the master bedroom closet. I usually keep my touch up paint there. I know what you must be thinking and the paint was given to me by my MIL and was a maybe to use as an accent color only in the kids room. Did I mention both are girls. Long story short they brought the can down the stairs and oops spilled it on the last 5 steps and continued to spill it onto my front hallway onto the laminate flooring. Oh and it was also fun to ride a couple of cars through it on the floor while it was there messy!



We had only just replaced the carpet on the stairs not even a year ago. A really nice taupe berber carpet! I still have a small piece of replacement carpet but not enough to do the whole 5 stairs. Nor the money to fix it! Crap! If anyone can learn anything from this nightmare it's worth sharing!

cheerio mom 2 I do have good news... winning colors did take out the remainder of the pink paint! OMG! If you have kids, it is a must to have in the home.. thank you thank you! I cannot say it enough for all the advice and support.
