What a Mess!

So we just moved into a new house a little over 3 months ago. Most of the house is in carpet, but we figured we would let the kids destroy it over the next couple of years and then replace the downstairs with bamboo flooring. By then we would have the money to invest in something like that. I have a very unique style when it comes to interior decorating. I had this wonderful idea of painting one wall black in the living room. I would paint the other walls white and paint big black words all over one of the white walls. Trust me, it looked awesome in my head. We made the stencils and started to trace them onto the wall when I happen to look down and see my 14 month old son sitting in a giant puddle of black paint. I could have died. After calling poison control and crying my eyes out we came to the conclusion that the carpet was ruined and my son would be having some very colorful diaper changes in the not too distant future. I have been applying Dawn dish soap all night and am quite surprised with the way it is turning out. My dear husband is working on the last half of it as we speak. I think we have tried every home remedy that Google could offer. I say all of this to point out the fact that you just never know what your day will bring. I woke up this morning and never suspected that my day would turn out this way. My biggest concern this morning was where I had lost my favorite sweater to. Part of me wants to cry and part of me just wants to laugh my head off. I think I will choose laugh this time around...
