In case you are wondering...

Food coloring will stain counter tops, clothes, and the children wearing them. It will not however stain linoleum floors or the faces of cabinets.

I learned this by leaving a bottle of red food coloring out where little hands could reach it. I also learned that if you soak the stained child in the bath for long enough the stains will come off. And if you put enough stain remover on stained clothing it too will come out. :)

Note to self - it is too much work to clan up food coloring. DO NOT leave it out in the reach of curious children.

Have your kids been reading my blog? Sounds like something they would do. I'm glad it's (mostly) come out. P.S.-The other day Jakob was all, "I want Ila to come over!" Seriously, just send them over when they want to come. And I do need to have them over; find something you want to do and let me babysit!

That happened to me several years ago. Luckily Bridger was in a diaper at the time and he wasn't wearing any other clothes. It did eventually come off the counter top and him. He got into the whole box and had it every where...I just was looking at those pictures earlier today and chuckled inside.

Dude, that sucks!! Thank goodness you were mainly able to get it out/off of most everything. It sounds like something Troy would do.
