*happies*

February 9, 2013 By Kelle

I’m not feeling very well tonight and had visions of a fun writing session earlier today, but now I want to curl up and watch a movie.

Nellie has a little Valentine’s birthday party tomorrow, so I had best finish this before the cupcake timer dings.

Wishing you all a weekend full of little happies.

Our happies:

Decorating our classroom Valentine box

The Blueberry Ceremony. She plucks and eats, plucks and eats.

Little Naughty sneaked in and stole the Fairy Garden dog

Mama finally got with the program and stepped up my job at home to reinforce the sight words

She is so hungry, hungry, hungry to learn. It’s inspiring.

Swishy skirts, running feet

Nella just ran off with my phone, and I heard her push a bunch of numbers and someone said hello.  She’s babbling from the hallway, so this is my cue before international cell phone charges show up on our bill. 

Find some ways to make people happy this weekend.  You will, in turn, feel happy.

    So funny to see the term “happies” on your blog! I often use that term on my own, I love listing my random happies. I always think of it as a silly word, but I love it…it makes me smile.

    That is very good advice. I hope you feel better soon. I feel sort of bad today too. It isn’t really sickness. Just sadness I think. I can’t get it to go away. Darn it.

    I hope your weekend is filled with unlimited happy moments and 0 international calls.

    Kelle….
    I am sorry that you are not feeling well!! I’m getting over a cold, myself. I enjoyed one week–one freakin’ week–free of feeling sick, and now…. Something else!! Yuck. πŸ™
    Nella has a little Valentine’s Day birthday party planned? Fun!! For her, or Baby Boy? Do tell!! Do tell!! πŸ˜‰
    I love, love, love Lainey’s classroom Valentine box!! It is a birdhouse!! Very creative!! ;-D
    That third picture of Nella!! I cannot get over her facial expression!! It is like: “Who, me? A blueberry thief? I didn’t do it!!”!! Too cute!! πŸ˜‰
    “Nella just ran off with my phone, and I heard her push a bunch of numbers and someone said hello. She’s babbling from the hallway, so this is my cue before international cell phone charges show up on our bill.”. Crack. Me. Up!! ;-D

    I love reading your posts….I love your happiness and positivity. I think that most people realize that you aren’t trying to portray a perfect life but who needs to read more negativity from this world? (forgive me, I’m still thinking of the post from a few weeks ago about instagram). You inspire me to live life with gusto and truly enjoy life. I am reading your book right now so I am in a “gushing” mood right now. AND, I’m so excited to read the news of your new little one arriving!!! Thanks for being a ray of sunshine and goodness.

    Hi Kelle
    Am sitting here in beautiful manzanillo mexico and thinking about you and the upcoming birth of your baby. Im also thinking about you because my husband and I recently purchased a new slr canon rebel recommended by my photojournalist son and LOL we are both struggling to learn. But when I see your amazing photos that so beautifully capture “the moments” of your life I feel encouraged to lol keep reading the manual. Hoping to get the hang of it while here in mexico for the month. Such color, character and beauty here. And will be thinking of you and your family as you bring another baby into your beautiful blended family. Best wishes, k

    I completely understand the not feeling well. I am thirteen weeks and still have the horrible first trimester symptoms!

    I am loving Nella’s little pig tales and Lainey’s eagerness to learn. I have a three year old little boy who is reading and writing and soaks it all up like a sponge.

    Hope you’re feeling better! xx
