This weekend I had quite a surprise when I opened our dryer and found melted crayons on everything. I'm not exaggerating either, I checked every article of clothing. Apparently Alexa had stuffed a bunch of crayons in the pocket of her winter coat and I did not realize it until it was too late! First, I called my grandma to see if she knew of a remedy and then I checked online for some helpful hints. I really thought everything was ruined. After talking to my mom, I went to Target to buy all the ingredients. It took over an hour to scrape all the melted mess out of the dryer. Then I put all the clothes back in the washer along with the recipe for getting out melted crayons. I couldn't believe it, but everything came out spotless. Here's the recipe below. You never know, you may just need this someday!
2 cups Tide
1 cup Clorox2 Color-safe bleach
1 cup OxiClean
1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax
1 cup Shout
1 cup Vinegar
Wash on hottest setting with stain treat soak
It works!
I just painted Alexa's fingernails. She asked for orange, like Nemo. Now she's calling them her Nemo nails.
Gavin is sound asleep.
We were busy baking cupcakes tonight. We made over 50 cupcakes so that Daddy could take them to school tomorrow to give to his students after finals. Alexa kept asking, "Who's happy birthday?"
She says, "This one's yellow, like Bubbles!" (another fish character on Finding Nemo)
