Long Day #2

Thank you for the teething tips.  Apparently I am going to need to find these said magic teething tablets and give them a go.  Ashley sent me this text today and right when I read it I immediately knew what she was talking about.

I’m so tired I don’t even know how old my kids are.  Amon is 10-months-old…not 9-months-old…as I stated yesterday.  At least I wasn’t like years off or anything.  Ashley got a pretty big kick out of it.  Of course she did.  {Insert raised eyebrow.}  And because I know some of you are wondering…I changed my hash tag to #parentsoftheyear

Sol is still sick.  Not sure what is up with the kid, but I kicked it at home today with just my Ethiopian dudes.  I thought he was getting better…he even worked on his birthday thank you cards.

And then when I went to run with my niece Campbell this afternoon, Sol spiked a high fever and puked his guts up at my MIL’s house.  Awesomeness.  When we got home he immediately fell asleep…again…sitting straight up.  He is all kinds of pitiful.

Amon was funny at lunch.  I couldn’t choose just one of these pics to post.  He just makes my heart super happy.

He started trying to look under and around the camera at me and it was totally cracking me up.

Harper’s school is doing a Fun Run fundraiser.  They get pledges for each lap they run and they also get prizes for the amount of pledges they bring in.  Harper got these little ditties today at school.  Rad right?

I received this email today.  Yes, a fly fishing film tour can be “bad-ass”.  I may have just cracked myself up all over again.  Like, I’m laughing pretty hard.  And yes, Josh and I do go to the fly fishing film tour.  What can I say…we must be pretty BA as well 🙂

I was able to finish a few more pieces for Saturday’s sale.  I’m getting kind of excited again.  Eeeek.  I’m still working out the details…specifically the time because Josh has to work this Saturday.  I’ll let you know for sure tomorrow.

10×10 “You’re my Sweetheart” Lumineers canvas

8×8 “Set Free” canvas

How’s that for a random post.  A little parent failure, a little puke, some cute kiddos, a little cussing and some artwork.  Sounds about right.  Hope everyone had a great day.  See you tomorrow.

  Happy Thursday.

  1. I really wish we could meet in person. Your posts and honesty make me happy. I also loved your added language. Since my husband has been in seminary and hearing that some of his amazing,godly professors chose to use certain cuss words. I now use a few in the privacy of my home and with my friends who truly love me!!!!

    Your work is so inspirational- with painting and crafting in my previous years- this so makes me want to dive into the creative process again. I am starting to think it might be just what I need- raising a little one with autism has changed my life- almost feel like I’ve lost who I am and need some creative outlet for just myself.

  3. Cracking me up! #parentsoftheyear … We’ve all been there! Hope Sol feels better really soon! Amon just rocks! He’s BA. But that’s probably not appropriate. Sorry. Enjoy getting your fingers dirty working on your awesome art! It rocks too!

  4. Can’t wait for the sale!! My little niece is 5 and she loves to sing the Lumineers song when we are in the car, at the grocery store, pretty much anywhere!!
