Slicker than snot!

I know it has been forever since we have blogged! But that's just the way it's gonna be sometimes, so get used to it people! LOL...

Okay. So I leave last night for a conference in Fargo today. Spend the night, do the conference, and head straight back. I get home a couple of hours ago. Connor meets me at the garage door and says, "Daddy! Luke sprayed the stuff in the holes on the TV. In the big holes AND the little holes!" Of course, this is Greek to me and I am wondering what in the heck is going on. Regardless of the details, I KNOW it ain't good. SO I walk in to find Luke sitting in his bed, sobbing loudly, saying "Daddy.... I did something sooooo baaaaaad today and it's really baaaad." I'm thinking... "Ok. so my big screen has been spray painted!" I calmly walk downstairs to find Kelly, also sobbing, sitting on the floor in front of the big screen, armed with Qtips and rubbing alcohol. I come to find out that, as usual, Luke grabbed one of the compressed air cans and was playing with it.... or so he thought. What he actually grabbed was a can of spray silicon! And he proceeded to spray the walls... all the pictures in my office... the CARPET... my TV screen... and even the audio/video connectors on the front of the TV (Connor's "big holes and little holes")... Of course, that stuff was generally able to be cleaned off the pictures, the TV casing, and TV screen, and it seems that those audio/video connectors still work... but we still have this stuff on our carpet and walls in the office. In other words, we basically have grease stains all over the walls and carpet now. The carpet can be cleaned if we rent one of those carpet cleaners. However, only alcohol really gets it clean, especially on hard surfaces like the walls. Of course the walls are painted in latex, so as soon as we use alcohol to clean these spots off the wall, we will take the paint off too. So what would you do? Leave the stains (which you can really only see when the light hits them a certain way), or clean them and have to re-paint the entire room?
