I was bored last night and so I decided to paint my nails. I keep my nail polish up on the shelf in the front closet so it is easy access for me to cut and file them short. I don't like my nails long and so I do them once a week or so. Well this time I decided that I would paint my nails Cha Cha Cherry. It is a dark pinkish reddish color. It was late and I was tired so I left my polish sitting next to the chair I was sitting in, and decided I would pick it up in the morning and put it away! Boy was I wrong in doing that! Jory is always on me for not putting it away. Well he was right! Christian decided to come downstairs this morning while I was in the shower. He normally stays in my room and watches PBS and plays with toys that I have in there, but this morning he got the idea he wanted to go downstairs. So I get out of the shower and call his name, he does not answer...I said "OH NO!!!!" "He is in the cabinet again and I have food all over my floor again!" So I went down stairs and smelled right away nail polish! I said "NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!" I turned on the light and saw it. Bright reddish pinkish nail polish all over my floor! I could not get mad at Christian, because It was not his fault, IT WAS MINE!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! So I called my mom and said "Mom how do you get red nail polish off of carpet!" She told me to use nail polish remover and then to Google it. So I did. It told me to use oxy clean, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, brake fluid and all sorts of other chemicals! Like I was going to use brake fluid on my carpet! I did however try just about everything else. I worked on getting the stain out for over two hours and it was not working! I think that it made it worse. Oh well... I think that I might have someone come out and give me a quote to have the section cut out and have my extra carpet laid down. We will see how much that costs! Anyways here are some pictures of my beautiful carpet! So the moral of the story is DON'T LEAVE NAIL POLISH SITTING OUT WITH A TWO YEAR OLD RUNNING AROUND!
The Culprit
The mess.... and Oxy Clean
The Mess again right in the middle of my floor!

Oh no! Looks like it's time to go rug shopping!
You'd think after an experience or two like that, we'd learn our lesson as mommies who leave things places, but it betcha it'll happen again anyway. Mine are always doing stuff like that. Just wait till he discovers glue. :-)
Your toes look pretty though :-)
