Oh Hey There.

Well I didn’t mean to take a couple of days off.  Life has just been…well…life.  And we just so happen to be going pretty hard and there was some allergy/sinus sickness going on accompanied by doctors appointments and lots of random sleeping, not only by just Amon and baseball and I’m really really tired.  Oh, and then I up and decided to paint all of our kitchen cabinets and walls while we had an extra sweet baby girl for the day…and her momma found dried paint on her…and 3 days later I finally finished.  And life…isn’t it wild and crazy sometimes.

We have been looking for a house for well over a year now…closing in on two actually.  There is always something new we want to do to our current home, but we just keep thinking we’ll find something.  Turns out there just isn’t a lot out there in our price range.  Soooooo, we keep waiting. And not making the changes we want to our house.  And I finally had had it up the here {insert stern parental stare}.  I was just incredibly tired of living like I thought we belonged somewhere else, when really I needed to be embracing exactly where God has us now.  So I bought paint and got busy.

I didn’t take any good before pictures…you can kind of see our kitchen in the background of this picture…brown cabinets & green walls.

And this is when I had taken all the top cabinet doors off.  I may have manually removed all of the top cabinet doors along with every last stitch of hardware with a little hand screw driver.  Then as I watched Josh Kelley later that day remove all the bottom cabinet doors and hardware with his cordless drill and I cursed.  #sometimesIjustdonotthink

Then over the course of three days I got to painting.  And painting and painting and painting.  And today I finished.  And I’m a bit smitten.  Just a bit.  I wish the lighting was better, but the sun was going down when I snapped these.

I am sooooooo glad it’s over.  And now I’m laying on the couch and can barely keep my eyes open to finish this post.  It’s quite redonkulous.  I’m off to bed.

Happy Friday night!

Happy Weekend!!

Biz-To-The-E

Hope you had a great weekend.  Did you do anything new or fun or adventurous or exciting?  Ours was cool and busy…soccer, family time, etc.  Today is crazy busy.  I’ve got a major To-Do list and I’m determined to Knock.It.Out.  I’ll see you tomorrow.

Happy MOnday!

PS:  Don’t forget to enter The Up & Away 5K giveaway.  It’s going to be rad.

Hectic

This week has been crazy hectic around the Kelley house.  So full and busy.  I welcome spring break next week…a slow, easy week.  We’ve just had a million things going on and have been pulled in every single direction…good pulls, but just a lot of them.

I’ve made funfetti cupcakes for Harper’s school March birthday party, red velvet cupcakes for a special birthday and chocolate cupcakes for Harper’s Easter party tomorrow.

At the beginning of this day I new I had to make cupcakes for Harper’s Easter party, but quickly forgot until about 30 minutes ago 🙂 Thank you Pinterest for an easy Easter cupcake topper.  Starburst + Mint.  Boom.

I rocked some early morning runs this week.  One morning I heard Weezers’ “Say It Aint So” song while driving to meet up with Betsy at 4:50am.  All I could think was, “How appropriate.”  And they’re even playing hacky sack in the video.  That totally dates me.  Josh Kelley could probably win a hacky sack contest to this day.  #oldschool

(My clock is an hour off.)

This morning’s run was ungodly cold.  I watched the temperature gauge on my car bounce between 21 and 22 degrees.  WAY.TOO.COLD…but it got done.  Love my running ladies Betsy and Jami.  They are mad crazy.

I watched this go down while waiting in the car rider line.  At first I wanted to break it up, but then I said to myself, “Let’s see where this goes.”  Good parenting or bad?  Who cares when you get these picture results.  Huddy just wanted some brotherly love.  Word.

A super busy day bouncing from here to there and back to there again welcomed an easy dinner night with a school spirit night at Chuck E Cheese.  A big welcome.

Soccer started this week.  And so the “being at the soccer fields 4 days a week” begins.  It’s a love/hate relationship.

And this girl, well, she’s kind of rad.  Love her whole little self.

Now I’m off to stay up waaaaaaay too late and try and finish up a few more items for Saturday’s Sale.  Wish me luck.

Happy Thursday!
