Good Times

I started the morning off far too early…like 4:30 am early, but I met Betsy for a 6 miler and got to knock some more miles off my 55 goal.  I should put Betsy’s face on here sometime…she’s this crazy cool lady who has the best stories, gives amazing parenting advice and runs like a rabbit.  She’s just fun.

Anywho…I get sidetracked a bit sometimes.  Let’s see…So today Amon kind of reminded me of Johnny Depp from the movie Cry-Baby.  If you’ve never seen the movie it’s terrible…terribly awesome.  It’s kind of this crazy 1990s movie.  If you have 2 hours to waste and want to watch a 90s so-bad-it’s-good movie, well then here you go.

This text went down today.  I’m the blue bubbles and Courtney is the white bubbles. Yes that happened.  And Courtney’s response further makes me love our friendship.

He was the cutest baby there, but he won that title very easily.

The boys have been playing lots of army men.  I really like when they do this because they are so deliberate and calculated and just super fun to watch when they are playing so seriously.  Amon has added a new element to this game as well.

I like when Harper gets home from school because she is always full of lots of fun kindergarten information.  She tells me things like what her friends had for lunch, that “so-and-so” has the same shirt as her, her favorite activity from the day and the list goes on and on.  I miss her during the day.  She’s kind of fun too.

I have belly diaper pictures of each of the wee Kelleys.  I love them and now I love Amon’s too.  All of it…little scars, handsome brown skin, adorable little belly button, polka dot diaper and all.  Makes my heart a bit happy.

We love reading chapter books and are currently working on Charlotte’s Web.  The kids love it…they belly laugh a lot while reading it.  We’ll watch the movie once were done.  We have a whole stack of our favorite chapter books from when Josh and I were kids that we’re making our way through.

And I made made this 8×8 canvas today for a kind friend…one of those really good friends.

**UPDATE:  All 3 canvases have sold.  Thanks so much.***

Tomorrow I will have three “Where you invest your love, you invest your life” M&S 4×12 canvases available.  If you know you would definitely like to purchase one, go ahead and send me an email using the “Contact Laura” button at the top and I’ll set one aside for you.

**UPDATE:  All 3 canvases have sold.  Thanks so much.***

Hope you guys have a great night.  I have an in-home date night planned with Josh Kelley and the wee Kelleys are seriously going to bed at, ummmmm 6:30.

Happy Thursday night!

    Im just glad you didnt post my parental confession! DCS would have been waiting for my baby in the delivery room!!

  3. I can’t remember exactly if it was 9th or 10th grade, but I seriously watched Cry Baby every Friday night with my best friend. Another one of our favorites was Cool As Ice. Remember Vanilla Ice?

  4. The Nester wrote this blog (http://www.incourage.me/2013/01/hints-of-future-passions.html) on incourage yesterday about watching her boys play and wondering if it gave any insight into their future selves. Thought you might enjoy after seeing that picture of Sol and Huddy playing!
    By the way, I am expecting my first baby in May and it’s a boy. Reading your blog makes me so, so excited about his arrival and makes me want to hurry up our adoption plans so he’ll have a brother to play with pronto!

  5. I have a little one with those scars too! Well, he’s not so little anymore. He’s now 11 years old! Time flies! Very cute tummy!

  6. I really like you a lot! You are a stellar friend. <3 you!
