Mary Poppins on the weekend...

I hate chore day. And I'm blaming Mary Poppins for that. Toys don't march back into the playroom and fling themselves on the shelves for me. Nor do clothes miraculously fold and put away themselves. Yep... I think Mary Poppins set a standard for cleaning that has messed up the whole world.

Around here Saturdays are chore days. We make lists for each person and cross off what we complete. One Saturday this summer Kelsey decided to add "Dance" as the last item on the list. And then they did. Dance. It was absolutely hilarious.


Here's the list...




And here's Kelsey getting the party started with the Cupid Shuffle...



And she taught Zane and Zack (and evidently a random sword) the Cupid Shuffle...




Then Zane got the music in him and started break dancing...



And Zack perfected the art of sword dancing...



Have you ever done the Cupid Shuffle? It's kind of old now, but still pretty fun. Here's a video to get you started. You know, just in case Mary Poppins hasn't shown up at your house.

Samuel enjoyed Elmo doing the Cupid Shuffle! He's a big Elmo fan. I'm overwhemed with all of the chores sometimes...
