I hope you had a great weekend. We had a very lovely one. The weather was amazing and we spent lots of time outside and enjoying being home all together.
We may have started gearing up for Christmas. We have a pretty fun Thanksgiving planned, so we got a head start on Christmas since we won’t be around too much the week of Thanksgiving.
Harper had a super fun homework project. She had to disguise a turkey. Not sure if we did it right or not and she insisted on disguising him as a Christmas tree. I feel like this turkey will totally survive Thanksgiving with this get up.
I finally got out our Thanksgiving books. Yes, I am one of those moms who keeps all the holiday and season books on the highest shelf and brings them out only for the corresponding time. Maybe it’s the teacher in me.
We’re still doing our thankful leaves. Not really sure how I feel about Harper’s most recent leaf…a little friend…who is a boy…who she adores. Not sure if Josh Kelley is going to survive this whole having a girl thing.
Amon sported some Baby Solomon clothes this weekend. Oh the memories. I only kept a few of my most favorite things all of my babies wore. Sol was adorable in this little helicopter hoodie…Amon too.
I was able to get out and run a few errands alone. Target revamped their $1 section…which should now be called the $1-$3 section. Still amazing.
I got a pair of Sanuks for my birthday. Hello shoes that feel like socks. Hello shoes that should be worn by 80-year-old men.
Lots of chalk drawing. I like a good fully covered sidewalk area.
This is Robin. The wee Kelleys discovered him. He is now in our kitchen…in a jar. He’s visiting Harper’s classroom today, but don’t fret, he’ll be released when she gets home.
Amon loves his Dream Lite. He is completely enamored with it.
Josh and I were big fans of the Dream Lite too…that is, until it went crazy and into some kind of flashing, non-stop rave mode and we could not get it to shut off. We laid there in our grown-up bed watching it rave on. All we needed were glow sticks and pacifier necklaces laced with something illegal. Josh ended up having to take the batteries out.
Huddy is by far my most inventive child. Enough said.
And after posting this picture on Facebook a friend asked about how I store the kids art supplies. I gave an answer and when we started cleaning up, I realized there was much more of a method to our crafty madness. Thus leading to an entire post devoted to how I store the wee Kelleys craft supplies for tomorrow. Riveting, I know.
Hope your weekend was lovely too. Let the week begin.
Happy Monday.

I’m excited for tomorrow’s post! I spotted a few Sharpies in that marker mix. Are your children just super careful with Sharpies or do you have a magic solution to get them off your wood table? I think we only have washable markers around here. 🙂
They try to be careful, but they are also kids…and no magic solution…a magic eraser might work, but I’ve never tried it. My table just has some marks on it, but that’s just how we roll 🙂
My son took a black sharpie to our entire living room one year…walls, furniture, tv, etc! I got almost all of it off with a Mr. Clean eraser! It was amazing!
You did the turkey correctly. I use to teach 2nd grade and we I’d that project. One of my favorite things to do all year. Always had so many creative fun turkeys or not turkeys I should say.
Such cute photos of such cute kiddos. I follow you everyday! Can’t wait to see how you organize the craft supplies. I LOVE TO ORGANIZE ANYTHING!! God’s gift to me and I’m happiest when I’m using it for Him.
Precious kiddos! Amon is seriously rockin’ the hoodie! Love it! I love crafts! Actually really pumped about your post on organizing all of it… I need help reigning all of our craftiness in! 🙂
The picture of Huddy’s sword-storage invention made me laugh. Out loud, at work. *insert embarrassed face, but not too embarrassed because it’s a wonderful invention!* Thanks for sharing! 🙂
so excited about the craft stuff. you have inspired me to let norah be more free with crafting, but the arguing at cleanup time combined with being overwhelmed leads me to hesitate. can’t wait to see what you do!
haha we had disguise the turkey day too! yay for art supplies. we also use a big old dresser/ buffet (yay for people moving and leaving stuff on the tree lawn), and we keep all the art supplies in there. 🙂
Gotta love the jump on Christmas!! I adore Christmas!!
And the happiest moments I got from this were seeing Amon with his Dream Light and hearing about how you and Josh got to enjoy it freaking out! Lol!! That was just cracking me up!! But my favorite part was noticing that little Mr. Amon is plumping up so well after his time in the hospital! Love it!! Chubby babies are just too cute!!
