Day 203 Bonus: Day 2 of Cinderella Dance Camp. I'm not planning to post a photo every day of camp, but this was too cute not to share!

I texted the picture of the girls to my father-in-law who loves editing and he sent it back to me this way.  I love it! :)

 Inspiration for the Week:

I have to admit, the last few days have been ROUGH ones! I've been feeling like all the kids do is run and scream through the house; make messes (oh the messes!); hit, pinch, and scratch each other and just generally misbehave! I do not always handle this behavior as well as I should and it can make a Mom start to feel defeated! What would we do without Grace?

I started reading Unglued by Lysa Terkeurst last night for the 4th or 5th time. I need to read it all the way through! On the very first page in the dedication she says, "What happens in between the smiling snapshots of life isn't all pretty. I'm willing to admit that. And I love my friends who are brave enough to admit the messy stuff as well. I dedicate these words to you as we set out to make some imperfect progress together." I love this!
