ARE YOU READY?!
Last weekend was the NBA All-star weekend and so it was also basketball weekend in the Spaulding home. We all got our uniforms on, moved the furniture, and got ready to play some ball. This has become a tradition in our home and I'm not sure who likes it more, the adults or the kids? Oh and Happy Valentines weekend too!

Sassy Pants
I would just like to take this moment as I have just put Camrie to bed to share with you our day.
It started out with Kyle going to get her out of her crib and bringing her into bed with us. Something she usually loves but this morning she kicked and screamed in my ear until I let her down so she could go down stairs with Dayton. Then I made pancakes for breakfast and she ate her first one fine and wanted another one so I got it for her and she decided that she did not need a plate. So she dumped it and ate it off the counter, syrup and all. Then when she was done she climbed up on the counter stepping in the syrup and yelled, "Mom I done". Then as I was doing the dishes she decides to dump out a bag of cereal and step on it till it is crushing into the carpet and of course we don't have a vacuum at the moment so this means I am going to have to borrow the neighbors again. So for this she got yelled at and decides to run to daddy for help, screaming, and Kyle, who is working home now, is on the phone and she is yelling at him. So I get yelled at because he is on the phone and can't hear while I am trying to clean up the smashed cereal. So I have to kick the kids upstairs while I finish the dishes. Then I get the kids dressed and have done Camrie's hair and I am putting on my make-up, (while she is screaming and hitting me to go outside), when I look down and see Camrie wiping her nose off with the whole bottom of her new clean shirt. To make things better she has pulled half her pony tail out so her hair is sticking out everywhere. So by this time I had had it and put her down for a nap.
Then this evening came and while I was making dinner she got a hold of Dayton's water bottle filled with lemon aid and some how got the lid off and dumped it all over herself, the counter, chair, and floor. I get that cleaned up and the kids want a banana so I get them one and a few minutes later Camrie finds Dayton's that was not all eaten and decides to squish it between her hands, then her toes as she digs it into the carpet. So we eat dinner and I see that she needs a tissue and I go to get one and she decides to rub the snot all through her fingers and all over her face. So once again I have had it and say ok it is time for bed, but she cries for a drink so I get her some water and tell her to say goodnight to daddy. Then she goes in and right in front of him takes a drink and spits it out, again all over the carpet. All of this with a 3 hour nap and a 2 hour play day. You would think there was not enough time in one day, but she found time for it all.
I am hoping tomorrow brings a little less kicking, yelling, screaming, dumping, crushing, spilling, hitting, and spitting.
