All Aboard the Crazy Train

I can get behind some Ozzy Osbourne…especially some Mama I’m Coming Home 🙂 but Crazy Train is our life this week.  Harper and I leave Saturday morning for Africa, Hudson is having a medical procedure this week, last day of school is Wednesday, Harper has her dance recital, Amon has a MDO program, our van is in the shop so we are a one car fam for a few days PLUS regular ole’ life and holy cow…the crazy is on.  Last night I went into a full on packing frenzy because the stress was rising fast, but more than anything we are crazy excited…especially about heading to Swaziland…Harper and I are beaming.

In other news, the 1/2 marathon is over.  It was great.  I’m going to do a whole post on it because it was the prettiest race I’ve ever run.  I took about 1000 pictures.  There were even cow spectators.  The most important thing though…no one died.  Holla.

 

We did a movie night outside this weekend.  It was so much fun.  We watched Evan Almighty which we got from the library…The.Best!!!!  I love that movie and the kids loved it too.  Plus I’m crushing on some Noah right now thanks to Genesis.

Hudson and I went down the street to get some treats for the movie.  I watched him picking out treats with his monkey Duncan and ahhhhhh, I just love him.  I love who they are growing into, but sometimes I want to freeze time just for a bit.

There’s a community park and pavilion at the end of our street.  We picked up some Sonic this weekend and enjoyed the weather.  I love eating there because A) I love that all the crumbs fall on the ground and  B) There are several big swings.  Josh and I made this one a no-kid swing.  Muhuhahahahahaha.  And Harper snapped a picture for us.

Josh’s sister Jen lives on our street…maybe 6 houses down…so close.  She’s an elementary teacher and always sharing fun stuff she does with her students with our kiddos.  They came over last night and we all made ice cream in a bag.  A milk concoction, ice and ice-cream salt and then you get your shake on.  We all had amazing arm workouts.  I got tickled watching everyone shaking their bags.  And the ice-cream was delish.

And lately time together solo is rare, but today we snagged a few hours together all thanks to a broken van.  I will take it.  We even hit up the gym.  Marriage is hard and takes work and we don’t always get it right, but that Josh Kelley is most definitely my favorite human.

Hope your Monday is off to a good start.  It’s going to be one crazy week!!!

Happy Monday.
