Friday You’re Lookin’ Fine

I get so excited for Fridays.  Josh Kelley and the kids do too, so this just adds to my excitement.  Amon, littlest and I have accomplished a lot today…like grocery shopping and having intense conversations about a movie starring Jesus and a bear Amon insists is a real thing.  He’s pretty obsessed with bears.

Also I am beaming with pride because I made my first ever pan of baked beans.  You guys, this is huge for me.  Cooking and myself don’t typically get along too well and I haven’t actually tried the beans yet, so I’ll have to report back, but they are made and I am proud.  Our You & Me Forever book study group take turns preparing food and hosting each week.  It’s our week and Josh and I decided to go with a BBQ nacho bar.  Hello!  Right?!?!?!  I might be crazy excited about this.  I mean, BBQ, tortilla chips, baked beans, queso, jalapeños…right on!

This is where I will admit I took a picture of our kitchen drawer which stores baggies, plastic wrap, tin foil, etc because when you are semi OCD and the stars align just right for all your items to fit in just perfectly you do the quirky things which make you…you…like taking a picture of an organized drawer that made your heart sing.

Today is National Siblings Day!  Ask me how I know this.  Well, about a year ago I mentioned in passing this fun holiday and Hudson Kelley has not let go of the thought yet.  He has asked periodically over the past year when Siblings Day is.  So I looked it up and marked my calendar.  He’s been in full on anticipation and last night he asked if I could make cupcakes with money on top to celebrate the special day.  I told him no, but I would share the sugar cookie bars I made for Bible study group tonight.  We shook on it.

Speaking of sugar cookie bars…two recipes which are complete slam dunks: 1) Sugar Cookie Squares and 2) Sugar Cookie Bars.  Just go ahead and pick one, make it, share it and be happy.

Did I tell you Solomon dominated every Easter egg hunt he participated in?  Dude was on it.  Josh and I got so tickled at him hunting in our yard because once he filled his bucket he just stuffed them in his pockets and pants.  He was intense.

This morning before I even got out of bed I listened to Mumford & Son’s new song.  Gee.  They’re just a long time favorite.  Just listen and swoon away.

You’ve been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to learn to love and kind
Cause you were all I ever longed for

Oh my gaze, love you know I want to let it go
We will stand out at the wonder of it all
And I will hold you in
And I will hold you in

I haven’t worked on a baby set in a while so this was quite fun.  Loved making this up for a customer.

And I still have 4 spots open for my April Bible Journaling Class.  This class is next Saturday, the 18th.  All fees from the class will go towards purchasing items for welcome baskets for the sweet ladies of Thistle Farms at the Magdalene houses.  Shoot me a message if you are interested in joining us.

Hope you have a grand weekend.

Happy Friday!
