My Bracelet would say: Conrad & _________.

Happy Valentines Day!
______________________________
I thought it would be cute to let him make his own Valentines for his Grandparents....
But the paint was scary.
He wanted it off of his hands as fast as possible, so he rubbed his hands on his belly and arms....
That didn't work.
Luckily, I had some fancy Sponge Bob stickers laying around.
He stuck them on the paper.
He stuck them on his face.
He stuck them all over his body.
Then he proudly displayed his art work. His body & the paper both used as his canvas.
Then he proudly showed Daddy what he had made him for Valentines Day.
Dustin was pleased.
In the afternoon, we went out and about to get some fresh air after being quarantined all weekend nursing our colds. We got snacks at Whole Foods and threw this favorite ball around soaking up the beautiful weather.
I treated my little Valentine to a piece of heart shaped chocolate.
And observed as he tasted.
We ate chips and salsa, strawberries, chocolates, & a Delicious smoothie.
My boys watched as a horse and buggy trotted down the road.
Conrad ran after as it passed, then cried when the horse was no longer attainable.
It was a sad time.
I watched his tiny, fat fingers grab for raisin after raisin.
After a warm embrace and a kiss, i was shunned and pushed away like last nights trash.
Happy Valentines day to you too Mr.
He finally gave in after yet another attempt to steal a kiss from my little love.
Forced affection is always nice right?
He fed me some raisins.
And I made a crazy/ugly face that made him giggle and me stole my heart away once more.
For Dinner, Dustin made me one of my favorite dishes and we spent the evening together.
After dinner followed dessert....
and a food coma.
It was nice.
{Happy LOVE day my loves.}
Your son is utterly adorable Chelsea! Sounds like you guys had a great day :)

I think that sometimes i forget the simplicity of this statement, and hope that if i learn nothing else from life, this would be enough. happy valentine's day lovely!
hmmm..."keep calm and carry on" should be my life motto right now because lately every day i feel like i am on the brink of losing my mind!
ReplyDeleteorrr...my kids birth dates would be cool.
i love your kid and i love that the paint scared him. i attempted that same thing with olivia last year and she did the same. as soon as it was on her hands she screamed. haha...i also love your blog. it's uplifting. and i also love you. you're great :)

ReplyDeleteOk..no, not really... I just love when I go to enter blog giveaways and someone feels the need to say that, lol.

ReplyDeleteI'm a follower! :-)
syane45@yahoo.com
My bracelet would say Monkey Man + Hippo Girl = AMOR
ReplyDeleteSO. SWEET. So sad about the paint though! Maybe he thought it looked like blood?
ReplyDeleteThe bracelet is so cute. I think I'd just have mine say Michelle. Simple and classic.
I'm following too!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are so sweet:-) great post for Valentine's day. I'm a follower:-) Mine would say: I remember you with love.
ReplyDeleteMine would say, "All the same."
ReplyDeleteBecause there's this song by The Icarus Account
called All the Same and it's about how even though I am so sinful and I mess up so much, the Lord loves me all the same.
I want to get it tattooed eventually.
I miss you.
Been reading for about a month...and totally enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMine would say:
1.19.2008 & 2.08.2011
The first is our wedding anniversary & the second is the birth of our son. Two dates that changed my life forever.
Mine would say "Chance & Jude" both my boys names.
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous it kills me !!! Pregnancy looks beautiful on you.
Jude has the same robot shirt !
I have no idea what my bracelet would say, but I'm sure I could come up with something good if I actually won it! :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Valentine's Day with your adorable family!
Did Dustin end up making creme brulee? When I read that you wanted that I was like DANG! Hope he can pull that off. That's Max's favorite, but it takes me 5 hours to do it =]
ReplyDeleteyes, he made me creme brulee (chocolate mousse....) it was yummy. my favorite is when i get to break the sugar to get to the creme brulee.
ReplyDeleteHe made it for me when we were dating and I request it whenever I can-birthdays, holidays! It's the best.
;)
Chels- I'm already a follower? Does that qualify for the double plus bonus?
ReplyDeleteIf I scored the gorgeous bracelet it would say 'trust that you are clean'. It's a promise Jesus gave me while I was praying/sobbing, telling Him that I missed Him didn't know what to do. I'm in love :)
(I think that gets you 2 comments...? )
ReplyDeleteYay kimberlea! That comment makes me smile. I love it!
Hi
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've seen your blog and I think its great!
The bracelets are beautiful and such a fun concept.
My bracelet would say:
Carol Brown just took a bus out of town, but i'm hoping that you'll stick around.
Its a lyric from one of my favourite Flight of the Conchords song and is really sentimental to my boyfriend and I.
what a great picnic! mym bracelet would say" You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut." - Dr. Seuss
ReplyDeleteHi Chelsea, I follow you and have for a coupla months.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to focus on a message that God sent to me while deep in thought: You are enough.
Something like that. Some thing reassuring, that God is never gone from us.
It is easy to feel alone and a tangible reminder of God's presence is a big help.
I can't think of anything really clever for the bracelet. But I like the idea of my kids' names. So mine would say Lucas and August
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm already a follower :)
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, you are all gorgeous! And those crafting pictures are just too much!
ReplyDeleteI love those bracelets ...I'd want one to say either "JUST BE" or "REACH FOR THE STARS"...such a hard choice!
Tried to comment the other day but realized I didn't hit "Post Comment"! HA! Love your blog, it brightens my day! Your little guy is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove that bracelet too, would love mine to say My Boys. Case & Rhett.
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful Valentines Day! :)
Love the bracelets. If I win, I'd like it to say Keep Calm and Carry On.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment on my blog about my wedding dress! Your blog is amazing. Love all of the pictures!!
hmmm, it took reading ALL of these comments, & i still don't have something i'd love on a bracelet. [insert brain fart here] i mean, i would if i won ;) can i think about it? hehe.
ReplyDeletefollower! woot!
ReplyDeletep.s. such sweet pics of your fam. love the one with the kiss on conrad's cheek!
Your Valentines pictures with your son are soo precious... he's the cutest little boy!!

ReplyDelete~Angel
Cute! I follow....i think mine would have my kiddy names on it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on Simply Motherhood :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of your funny (adorable) face and his giggle melted my heart.
You're such a beautiful mom.
p.s. Your hair is so long and beautiful. I want it on my head now.
In a non creepy way, thanks.
My bracelet would say "Follow your burning star."
ReplyDeleteI am a college student working my butt off in the class room, and at home doing homework for hours on end and at my two jobs. Often times I come home from my long, usually very depressing days, and feel so utterly drained and done for that I just want to give in and stop looking up at the night sky and stare at the amazing wonder ahead. I know that this is not how it's always going to be. But the one thing that keeps me going is knowing how big and beautiful space is. How, it just seems like and aweful waste of space of sky if we were the only intellectual life out there. I am a Communication major and an Anthropology minor but my goal is to work for NASA or a private space agency one day. I have always been fascinated with space and what it's potential could be for us as a human race. I strive to keep going for the good of man kind while I sit in my dorm room studying hard and when I'm at work I make other women feel beautiful (I work for Sally Beauty Supply). So, I try constantly to make others feel better while I need to remember that I need to make myself feel better at some point along the way too.
I have been following your blog for ages. You and your adorable family and lovely friends are sometimes the only thing that keeps me going when I am feeling blue. Keep on posting inspirational things for us all :D
awesome bracelet. would definitely say, "always be where your hands are" to remind my ADD brain to be present! :)

I dunno if this is still open but I'd either get it with 'Patches and Bunches' (which is my brother and my nickname for each other) or 'Fearfully Made' and give it to Autumn.
