So, yesterday was an interesting day as my dad is re-wiring my garage and we had some wierd stuff going on with the circuit he was connecting into. Anyway, toward the end of the day, as my dad is finishing up my DS asks for construction paper, which I give him. He gets out his scissors and some gluesticks and tells me about some arrows he wants to put up. I (being busy with stuff) glibly say, sure honey, and walk away to finish doing something outside. So, he is crafting away inside. After my dad leaves, I come inside and when I turn the corner into my hallway I see 2 cut-out construction paper "arrows" GLUED TO THE WALL!! AAAAUUUUGGHHHH!!!!!! :o I (trying to stay somewhat calm) inform my DS that he is NOT to ever GLUE anything to the wall again! So, while I am removing the arrows from the wall, he informs me that he also put arrows on DD's mirrored closet door and her dresser. And later I found a 5th arrow stuck to my dining room wall. x(
I actually retained my humor due to 3 things for which I am extremely grateful:
1 - He used glue STICKS, not liquid glue
2 - I discovered them fairly quickly after he put them up
3 - I keep Goo Gone in the house at all times!!! LOL!!
Of course, not wanting to stiffle his creativity, I directed him to glue the arrows onto other sheets of paper and we taped them to the wall with masking tape instead (they will be coming down soon). He then also proceeded to have me write the words "entrance" and "exit" for him so he could write them on his arrows. He was making little signs. (awwwww!)
Fortunately, the glue came off without too much work, and I am now laughing about it. :P But there is nothing like that shock when you come in and find your little one has been crafting on your walls!! LOL!!
