Photo Overload

Fridays are always good days.  Especially when you have 2 little boys who are wildly excited about having their first friend sleepover with them.  They are already making their game plan which has included playing war, playing with their guns and then setting up a war scene with all their army men.  I kind of see a pattern.  So, like I said, Fridays are always good days.

And now I present to you a crap ton of pictures.  Most are Instagram.  You can find me on Instagram at pitterpatterart.  I continue to urge Josh Kelley to join in on the fun, but he continues to deny.  He’s not such a social media lover like myself 🙂 but I digress.

Two of my goals for 2014 are to have more date nights with the mister and to give climbing a try.  So far we’ve had success.  And climbing is way too much fun.  Totally wish I’d given it a try already.  We’re on an every Thursday night schedule for January and it’s beyond lovely.

We welcomed the New Year in with sparklers and a movie…and in the same PJs all day.  We kind of went all out.  Can you tell?

Mancala is my fave.  My Aunt Linda taught me how to play when I was little and I played it over and over and over again every time we went to visit.  When we were there at Thanksgiving she taught Harper…and life came around full circle.  She even sent Harper home with her own set.  And now we play almost every night.  It’s kind of the greatest thing ever and it makes my heart all happy like.

These two almost everyday at some point take my mind far into the future when they are little old men together.  It’s the sweetest.

Remember out new curtains that are really a shower curtain cut in half?  Yeah, so they are not nearly as good as our other curtains when it comes to playing hide-n-seek.  Sol didn’t have a chance.

What?  You wanted to see more random sleeping Amon pictures?  Well you’ve come to the right place.  A long Target trip proved to be just what this little random sleeper needed.  None of my kids ever, ever, ever did this.

I was working on a blog post at like 9:00AMish and he crawled up in my lap face down.  Next thing I heard was snores.  He does sleep at night.  And he does take a nap.  I don’t get it or understand it, but it’s really the funniest thing.  You never know when he’s going to fall asleep.  It’s like an on going game.

And #nopantsforlife

Tomorrow is a big day.  Huddy and Sol got hair cuts last Saturday and tomorrow it’s Harper and Amon’s turn.  Amon’s first haircut.  Goh!!!!!  I’ve already packed one thousand dum-dum suckers to try and keep him semi un-crazy and still.  I called in a friend to take on this grand task.  I figure if it goes horribly wrong she will still love us.

I like to purge.  I want our house to only hold things we love or need.  Last night I told Josh Kelley I was feeling smothered and I needed to clean out.  He was not surprised.  I started with my shoes 🙂

She.Is.My.Sanity.  The. End.

Maybe not The.End The. End because she also makes to-do lists.  And includes getting dressed.  And I like that.  And I like her.  Now, The.End.  For realz.

Happy Friday.
