Camdyn has the face of an innocent angel, but by the path of destruction she has left in the last 72 hours I am beginning to wonder. Here is a brief glimpse:
Saturday Morning:
Jay was out of town so I left for my run at 5:00 am, all in preparation for being home by 8:00 am just as the kids wake up. Camdyn apparently was up by 6:30 and had found Jay's laptop that was put away in our room and gotten in out and spent time doing who know what. Once she was bored with the computer, she found Izzie's fluorescent orange nail polish and decided that it looked really nice on our piano keys - if you know how to get it off, you are my hero!
Sunday Afternoon:
She had been asked to clean her room, this is a daily occurrence and never really gets done well, but we wanted to move Libby back in her room and it needed to be cleaned. After 4 hours of crying the dad lost it, the mom lost it and we all cleaned. She held out for 4 hours - I don't even have that kind of energy.
Monday Morning:
She had a friend over and they went downstairs to play while I was working. After half an hour the friend had to go home and I went down to find them and they were hiding - why you ask? Because they had gotten into more fingernail polish and Libby's scrapbooking stickers. Who thinks of all these things that they know wrong to do?
In order to punish her I told her she had to unload the dishwasher. She completely refused and I had work calls and couldn't fight her ( I think she knows this) so Jay in order to back me up told me he would address it when he got home. So when he got home she had to sit in time out until I got home - this ended up being 1 hr 45 min. Once I got home she had to apologize - "I am sorry I got in trouble" - Are you kidding me! She quickly (by prompting from her dad) revised her apology to "I am sorry I didn't mind" Better, but seriously.
The grand finale came when it was time for her to read her assigned books from school and she pulled out a new "red book." Earlier today when we were reading, I had told her she had to keep the book she received on Friday and read it a few more times and she was not all happy about it. When I asked her what happened to "Muff and Ruff" she refused to answer - she pleads the 5th really well. At this point it was all I could do to turn around, walk away, laugh and leave the dad to handle it.
So if you see this sweet little face, be careful. You can't say you weren't warned.
PS -Wish me luck with her, I am to tired and old for much more.

Oh, you have your hands full with her. It's a good thing she's so dang cute.
ummmm...sorry about the little friend part! The friend came home and told me how Camdyn tried to paint her nails for her but didn't tell me "the rest" of the story. Also one of these days remind me to tell you about a barbie incident at our house. :-) Jan
