Getting Ready

I have been so busy getting ready for back to school week!  We had to buy shoes, clothes, school supplies and water bottles.  If that weren't crazy enough, Kamryn decided she wants to audition for dance team again.  She hasn't danced in a little over a year and so we had some serious shopping to do for that as well.  Jazz shoes, ballet shoes, hip hop shoes, dance clothes, black leos, tights for ballet.. oh my goodness. 

This brings us to today.. I am broke and my house has been seriously neglected.  Kam and I spent the entire morning cleaning house, scrubbing, and organizing.  It looks so great in here!  I even did all the laundry!!

Almost...

I figured I would let the pile of clean clothes pile up throughout the day today and I'll tackle it all at once.  Bachelor Pad starts tonight and I love me some mindless tv, but nothing says "leave mom alone" more than.. if you come in the room you have to help put the pile of laundry away. 

This little guy is happy as a clam playing iPad all day while I clean.   Here he is begging me to let him buy the new Captain America app.  Ha.  How am I supposed to say no to that cute little face?  If you say no.. he says "Please Mama?  One more chance!  It not fair.  But I have money!"   He doesn't really have money, but he says he does and if you ask him where it is, he'll reach around and give you 'pretend' money.   He's a charmer and a great negotiator to boot!

I also had to share Kamryn's latest art.  So we were sitting around with a box of crayons and paper the other morning.  Owen and I were attempting to draw rainbows and we were working on his shapes.  Five minutes after we started, I look at what Kamryn's drawing and see this elaborate fruit bowl she sketched up.  Just like that.   The girl has skills!! 

Tonight is back to school night, so I need to hop in the shower and get my kids dressed.  So long are our long summer days of lounging in our pajamas all day.  We'll actually have to wake up and get ready.  Major bummer.
