Dress up or school clothes??

I know that I am horrible at this blogging stuff but I promise, I will get better!!! I did want to post a funny picture that I took this morning of Kenidi though. Ive said it probably a million times already, but Kenidi is definitely my payback child. She is very stubborn and sassy and totally has a mind of her own... I love it!!! She is such a brat and it makes me laugh.... Don't get me wrong, she gets in trouble, A LOT, but when I sit back and think about all the stuff she does and pulls, it cracks me up. So this morning when I was getting out of the shower, Kenidi came in with the clothes that she wanted to wear for the day. Now let me say this before I go any further, every morning we fight about what Kenidi wants to wear. If I pick ANYTHING out, she will not wear it!! So I would try to pick out two outfits and ask her to choose, that worked for a couple months but now, that's not working either. Anyway, back to the story... she walks in with some dress up clothes.... and the conversation went something like this.....

K: Mama I wanna wear this today.


Me: Kenidi, those are dress up clothes. You can't wear them to school.


K: But Mama (Whining) I love them, and they are pretty


Me: I know they are Kenidi and you look very pretty when you play with your dress up clothes but that doesn't mean you can wear them to school. That shirt is a tank top that you do up with Velcro and it doesn't even cover your belly....

K: (Still whining) But MOMMA.... I will wear an undershirt

Me: Kenidi I said no... Its too cold

K: (On the verge of tears... still whining) Momma pleeeeeeeease.... I will wear tights too.... Pleeeeeeeeeseee..... Pleeeeeeeeeeeeese... Mommmyyyyyyyyy.... pleeeeeeeeeeease........


And that is where I give in. My grandma once told me that you pick your battles when it comes to your children.... Kenidi won this fight for sure.... I was not going to fight with her.... and to top it off, right before we left, as I am running out the door yelling at the girls to get their shoes on, she walks out with pink Hannah Montana slippers on.... I just had to stop and laugh... That child is amazing... she really is... Anyway I had to take pic of her to share with all of you so that you can see what I have been talking about.... Hope you all get a kick out of my "special" one LOL.... (Also, a sidenote :) If you look real close, her hair isn't done either... that is another battle I refuse to fight most mornings.... I think I need to get up earlier LOL.....
