A New Day

Lamentations 3:22-23  “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

It’s a new day.  Life does completely suck sometimes…for everyone…no one goes unscathed, but God has made some outstanding promises to His children, and I for one, am taking them to the bank.  So you get up and go at life again…and hard…and you soak up all that God has laid out there for you.

This morning we were surprised with a call from Harper’s school cancelling school for the day due to severe weather.  We had some killer storms last night that apparently wreaked some major havoc in our area.  A day off was actually just what this weary momma needed.

We’ve eaten yummy food.  I’m trying not to pass on my emotional eating.  God help them.  Ha.

There has been lots of coloring and drawing and cutting and glueing.  This is everyday though.  It’s just who they are and you know I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it.  Makes my heart waaaaay happy.

I did quite a bit of packaging and we even went to the post office this morning really early…in the rain.  We didn’t have to wait in any sort of line.  Boom.

We bought Harper a new desk and it’s pretty much the love of her life now…other than Amon.  She was excited to stay home just so she could hang with her desk.  She is totally my kid.

Amon got stuck on Harper’s baby bed.  Hilariously funny.  He did not see the humor in it.

More drawing and cutting and glueing and coloring.  Always.  Huddy is super serious about his creations…very, very focused.

When I was uploading these pictures I found this one.  Apparently Huddy thought more pictures were necessary of his orange hearts.  Cracking me up.

Cupcake making.  We’re celebrating a really special little dude this week and chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting were requested.  Ask and you shall receive.

Hand washing and bubble making…always…everyday.  Anyone else’s counter sink constantly stay wet?

Baths.  You know I’ve admitted to never bathing the wee Kelleys…figured today was as good as any.  Amon was a bit impatient about going last.

They’re pretty scrumptious aren’t they?

And finally it was his turn.  He adores his bath.

Everyone is now clean and dressed and down for naps.  The house is unusually quiet.  I might just even get a head start on dinner for tonight…it’s “make your own salad” night.  One of our favorites.

Hope you’ve had a fantastic day.  Tomorrow’s Thursday.  Weekend is almost here.

Happy Wednesday.
