8 Things

1.  My brain is in summer mode so I think this means I can’t think as well…which means I feel like I have less to tell you about 🙂  Want to hear about something specific??  Have any questions for me??  Help a bloggy girl out who has summer brain and give me some stuff to write about.

2.  It’s officially traveling overseas time and the piles of supplies are growing, the lists are increasing in number and my head is spinning in the planning department.  How does one go about strategically planning to get 700lbs of supplies purchased and then across the world between 7 ladies?!?!?  This is the ultimate question.  And I still need to check on my shots.  Ugh.

3.  I’m closing up shop this week because I’m hitting the airways soon.  I’ll reopen in August!  Eeek.  I’m going to try and make up some goodies to randomly sell after we get back.  Plus The Gifter Project is in full force…it’s kind of the most fun thing ever!!

4.  When I declared “Now everyone must get a book and read while I work” yesterday, I envisioned children reading quietly to themselves while I worked.  The reality was all of sudden being surrounded by all these kiddos and books right on top of me and in my office and right outside my office.  We are going to work on “personal space” this summer too.

5.  July’s Bible Journaling Class will be Saturday July 25th.  I’ll post all the details soon.  With June’s class funds we were able to purchase 6 solar lanterns, 200 polaroid exposures, 256 markers, 168 bubble wands, 192 picture frame crafts and 168 wood hot air balloon crafts all for the kiddos at Ngungwane in Swaziland.  It makes me kind of weepy.  It’s kind of crazy what people can do when they come together.

6.  Have you tried the Mega M&Ms??!?!?!  They are ridiculously amazing.

Kelley Family Fun Fact #7:  Our current favorite M&Ms are the minis and the megas…how ironic right?!?!

7.  I already shared this over on my Instagram, but it’s really worth sharing again.  When talking about summer haircuts with Hudson and Solomon they decided not to get them because they wanted to grow Jedi braids (insert me trying with all my motherly might to keep a straight face).  They are both currently rockin’ longer than preferred locks, but oh my are they ever committed.  Hudson asks me every day, “Mom, try and braid it now.  Do I have enough?”  Sweet boy things…they kill me.

And 8.  Is it weird we’ve talked about them getting married?!?!?  I think not.  I hear arranged marriages are all the rage these days.

Happy Tuesday people!
