I coulda killed the kid! I come out of the room after taking care of Alice and there is pen all over my couch! But I kept my cool and the punishment was limited to a time out. I went on the internet and found that nail polish remover is great for getting out pen from fabrics so I was able to get it off the couch. The child shall live another day. But now that one spot of the couch is all cleaned, it is making the rest of it look all dirty. Ugh...I really want some couch covers, then I can just throw it into the wash.
