Cai wore mis-matched shoes almost everyday the whole year of kindergarten:) I think of it differently; it's not that I'm not an organized mom, it's that I focus on what's important and don't stress about the rest.

Have you checked out Paddy's Market on Saturday yet? A GREAT place to get neat local art, crafts, clothes & stuff for kids. I LOVE it!!!<BR/>BTW - you're better than Gordon!The Taskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675676250573318478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-11263452769457683482008-06-26T10:03:00.000-06:002008-06-26T10:03:00.000-06:00Loved the new blog and your post was hilarious!

So glad that you are settling in. Love the story of Gabe's pink croc. Hayden has shown up to pick Hallie up from school in some pretty ridiculous getups. There has been the dress up clothes, and the swimsuits, and the time where she had no shoes on and so I had to carry both her and Jaxton 1/4 a mile up the street. Even organized moms have disorganized moments, unless they are total robots.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215316147819715280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-71458173922303971472008-06-26T07:57:00.000-06:002008-06-26T07:57:00.000-06:00Isn't it crazy how one minute we feel so alone and...Isn't it crazy how one minute we feel so alone and frustrated and the next minute we realize how blessed we are and where we belong. I think you're amazing! Six months is no time at all!

Way to go! By the way, I think Gordon Ramsay was just intimidated by you and didn't want you to steal his thunder. :)Englishfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983670619442832669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-20975076408619329912008-06-26T04:49:00.000-06:002008-06-26T04:49:00.000-06:00Nat, I'll be there tomorrow...I wish!!!
