Rad Things

A free baby.  Amon got cleared to venture out into public for the first time since…well, since almost 4 months ago.  In fact he’s only been in 2 store since coming home, so Monday was a big deal.  We hit up Target asap.

Christmas books.  They’re out and they are awesomely festive.

Lovely fabric.

Star Wars pens and slap bracelets.  The perfect Huddy and Sol stocking stuffers.

A Face Timing baby.

Happy mail wrapped in snowflakes.

This dude.  He’s doing so amazing and is even off his blood thinner shots.  He’s way too good for a jugular blood clot.  Boom.

Our first school lunch with Harper.  Not being home bound is pretty stellar.

My “Boys Only” days.

Bedtime story reading.

And being dead last in the car rider line.  Not the dead last part, but I was happy I made it.  The Joanns line was crazy…like a hot mess of a craft store line.

That wraps it up.  Now I have to get a mess of little boys ready for the day and head off to help with Harper’s Ornament Day at school.  I think it’s going to be a pretty rad day.

Happy Thursday!

  1. Would you mind listing which Christmas books you have? I would like to start collecting books for my son but have no idea where to begin. My family didn’t celebrate Christmas growing up, other than a special church service so I am unfamiliar with Christmas books. Thank you! And I am so glad that Amon is free to roam now.

    • Christa…some of our favorites are “The Night Before the Night Before Christmas” by Natasha Wing, “If you take a mouse to the movies” by Laura Numeroff, “This is the stable” by Cynthia Cotten, “Froggys Best Christmas” by Jonathan London, “Mrs Wishy-Washys Christmas” by Joy Cowley, “There was an old lady who swallowed a bell” by Lucille Colandro, “Christmas Cookies” by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, “The Cripples Lamb” by Max Lucado, “Mooseltoe” by Margie Palatini, “Bear Stays Up For Christmas” by Karma Wilson & Jane Chapman, “Olivia Claus” and “Olivia Helps With Christmas” by Ian Falconer. Hope that helps.

  2. What a perfectly RAD post! It is SO nice to see all the wee Kelleys out and about! The world better watch out – they are in the heart-stealing business!

  3. I can definitely appreciate your excitement for Amon being free!!! House arrest is never fun!!! So happy y’all are getting out and loving life!!

  4. I think Target was a definite necessity. It’s for sure one of the first places my babies go after the 6 week newborn mark! And I’m proud of his little jugular for showing that clot who’s boss. Get it, Amon!

    Oh my….what a happy memory. Target and popcorn! With three babies under 3 1/2 (many years ago) Target was my happy place. Put them all in the cart, give ’em popcorn, and stroll the aisles! Still puts a smile on my face……
    So glad Amon is able to be out and about, just in time for Christmas adventures.

  6. LOVED this so so much!

    Awesome!! That really was totally rad to see that Amon has been set free!! PTL!!

  8. Oh my goodness, I love your style: popcorn at Target. Why have I never thought of that? This would definitely help me get shopping done without so much fussing. You rock momma!!! Congrats on your freedom to venture out of the house again!

  9. Super RAD! That is awesome news about Amon! I love the picture of the wee Kelleys reading the story and Amon staring straight at you! Sweet boy! Hope ornament day was tons of fun too!
