No Better Than The Rest

My family on Instagram(kvaisey): You're lucky day!?
A repeat overload for the 2 whole people who follow me on instagram...

It's the best I can do really for pictures to provide you with because I haven't picked up my real camera since Christmas morning. I have picked up loads of toys, food off the ground, many articles of clothing, even a crying baby off of the kitchen floor that was kicking and flailing on his back. Why just yesterday I picked Simon up after the poor thing fell out of the car and face-planted on my friend's driveway. I've even picked up the phone and called some people, like Rebekah for example when we talked for something like 3 or 4 hours the other day. But the camera phone and those filtered square boxes are just too easy. Picture, caption, done. It gives me an opportunity to work on my one liners. This year will most likely be filled with the easy way out. I can do hard things, but I prefer not to. Such a great lesson for the kiddies, no?

The past two weeks have been filled with preschool applications(it's seriously like college), midwife appointments, school volunteering, preschool co op helping, and planning for Simon's 4th birthday party on Saturday. It will be Star Wars themed and there will be other four year olds. You say, "Kelly, why do it to yourself?" I say, I'm not, I bought everything this year and will make nothing short of boxed cupcakes and maybe some lightsabers that take under 5 minutes to produce. I'm just trying to be consistent with this year's family theme: If you can buy it so it's easier, buy it. If you can hire someone so it's easier, hire them. If t.v. helps, watch it.

I like to think it's the more realistic approach instead of underachievement. I would be totally flattered if you followed suit. 
Keep them alive and happy and don't yell and be discouraged, take the pressures off everyday life and buy, hire and watch instead:)
Stay tuned for more inspiration coming your way! (are you appalled or laughing) And try your best to ignore the glaring downslope my parenting ideals have taken since 2006.
