Dennis the Menace strikes big!

Poor J. He is so clumsy. You actually have to feel bad for him. If he touches something it either breaks, drops, falls, moves, or in last nights case spills.

J spilled an entire FULL glass of grape juice all over the carpet in my dining room. Oh yes! And it didn't spill in one spot, it was EVERYWHERE. I was thinking we were going to have to replace the entire carpeting.

We tried to clean it up ourselves but it was overwhelmingly time consuming and our efforts weren't working very good. I went to bed with the knowledge that our carpet was probably ruined and that DH was going to call a carpet cleaner in the morning and pray for the best.

Well I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I woke up and DH said that he thinks he got all of it out and to go look. My first thought was that he was joking because it was completely impossible. Well I went downstairs and to my surprise it looked GREAT. I couldn't believe it. I don't know how he did it but he must have worked his ass off. He did mention to me today that he has muscles hurting that he didn't know he had.

R came down and couldn't believe his eyes. He thought it was a magic trick. He couldn't believe what he saw the night before looked like it did when he got downstairs this morning. He was like, WOW! So he went up to DH and told him what an amazing job he did. J went up as well (after some coaxing) and said the same....... and thank you. I think he realized his dad got his butt out of the hot seat.

Of course, being the great scrapbooker I am, I was so angry about it that I never took a picture of it. I wish I would have taken a picture and shown the before and after. I have to get those emotions in check.
