SOMEthing's Drawn- Week 3

I almost forgot to post this! I've been either really busy lately or really lazy- you pick. I've barely made time to play much. Sorry, folks! I've got about five million games going on which is why it takes me a couple of days to play back. Please forgive me! If you'd like to link up, you know the drill. Just grab the button and come back here and link up your post. Anyway, ready to see my awful drawings? I'll save the best for last!

These are pitiful. Terrible, sorry excuses for drawings. I'm ashamed. At least I got my point across with "bridge". The second was texting as much as it doesn't really look like that's what I was going for. The third? Ha! You should have seen me trying to draw a kangaroo. Clearly, this is an issue for me which is why I gave up, cheated, and then apologized for it! The fourth drawing was supposed to be clown- it's no wonder she was confused. Apparently, I'm not so great with drawing funny people.

Also, in the bad column? A word my sister drew...that was submitted anonymously (sort-of). The word was "unzip", but as you can see- it might easily be confused with something a little more X rated. Ha! All in good fun, Paige ;)

And now for the good. THESE I am way proud of:

 

Would you look at that Furby? Drawing that sure brought back fond memories.

Alright, your turn. Let's see your drawings from this week.

8 Months

Dear Baby K,

You've grown and changed by leaps and bounds this month. You may not weigh as much as they'd like, but you look like a strong, happy, healthy baby boy to me! I'm so proud of you. I absolutely love watching you play. You're so business when you do it. The concentrated look that overcomes your face when you're thinking about why that toy moves in that way and your ongoing amazement at your autonomy is so sweet to watch.

Hands down, my favorite part of the day is when I get you out of your bath, wrap you up in your big ole towel, and point you toward the mirror. You laugh every time and it never fails. If you've been unhappy all day long, I can at least count on that moment to hear your laughter echo through our home. I love it. I love you.

You are such a delight. Have I told you that lately? Your personality is developing more and more and I'm so happy to see you happy (most of the time). Your dad can make you laugh like no other. He's got the good tickle hands. I absolutely adore watching the two of you interact. I know you'll be close all your lives long.

When you eat now, you want to feed yourself. This makes for a very messy solids time, but I don't mind most days because I'm just so proud to watch you grow and learn. It was this month that I realized that I'm exactly where God wants me to be right now- at home, raising you. I'm accepting my role happily and beginning to enjoy having you all to myself during the day. You are so much fun! We play a lot and there's no place else I'd rather be.

Thank you for bringing so much emotion, love, and life into my world. Happy Eight Month birthday, my dear. You make my heart smile.

Love,
Mama

Project 365- Weeks 13 & 14

Happy Easter, my friends! I'm off celebrating the resurrection of my Lord and Savior at church and then eating with Army family. It's going to be a lovely day. I'm slightly behind on my Project 365. I missed a week so I thought I'd include four photos I did take that week first and then get to the ones from this week. Sound good?

Week 13

(1. Snapped a photo before I headed off to PWOC 2. Daddy points out pretty flowers to baby 3. I must have a green thumb! Garden is growing. 4. Preparing a yummy pasta dish for me, myself, and I. The Cap'n was out in the field)

Week 14

(1. Holly got a new dog bed! She's not to be punished for Drifter's bad habit of destroying every single one we ever bought 2. We took a trip to LC and Baby K fell asleep surrounded by toys 3. What a cute little sitter! 4. He loves his post-bath mirror view 5. Went out in town and found this crazy hat 6. Painted my nails for Easter 7. Off to Walmart- story of our lives)

Thanks for taking a peek. It only seems fitting that I talk about my faith today- that I at least tell you that I would not be in a good place without my relationship with my Heavenly Father. It's my prayer that He is  always my driving force in life. I talk more about this relationship at my other blog that I write at from time to time. If you'd like to check that out you can here.

My last post was on How To Pray.

Again, Happy Easter! I hope you all have a beautiful day.

Love,
Mrs. K

Weekend Wear

I just love a long weekend, don't you? It's Saturday and I've had my husband home for two whole days already with two and a half more to go. It's nice to have him here and I'm cherishing these days with him and my son.

With summer on the way, I thought it was a good idea to get some new items and get rid of some old. I love, love the fun pastels and print jeans/shorts that are everywhere this year. The fresh colors of spring are always magical after making it through the winter...although, I admit- there's not much of a winter here. I've been wearing shorts since January!

I threw on this yesterday. This shirt is lovely and flowy and will turn a fat day into a skinny day- any old day.

Good thing I never tried modeling. Could I BE any more awkward?*

I felt good in this and that's what matters most when getting dressed for the day, right? The fact that my husband said I was beautiful yesterday was just icing on the cake. And cause for smiles!

We went to our favorite grocery store (Did I really just say that?) and picked up a few things we needed in preparation for our seafood gumbo night! We invited the lovely, Jenn and her husband over to test out the edited recipe Captain J is in the process of perfecting here in Cajun Country. It was tasty- delish.

And wouldn't you know it? Baby K let me have adult conversation, girl time, and a relaxing evening with friends. He fell asleep at 6 and didn't wake up until 12 hours later. What a sweet boy.

How's your long weekend?



(*Must say in your best Chandler voice.)

This and That

This morning was EARLY, just like last. I'm not sure what the dealio is, but I'd appreciate it if my soon-to-be eight month old would remember how to sleep through the night. Wake-up calls at 3 & 5 are not my friend. It doesn't help that I'm not feeling up to par this morning. Oh well, it's another day here at the Mrs. K and Captain J household and I'm blessed. So much so.

It's Good Friday! Which means I can get back on Facebook in two days because Lent will officially be over. I'm glad! It was a smidge difficult trying to look stuff up without it. Who knew so many businesses only have FB pages for info? Not this girl. Plus, every time I had to (emphasis on had) sign into Pinterest, I had to sign in with Facebook. I have missed all of my friends on there and look forward to catching up with all of you.

Speaking of Pinterest, yesterday I heard my husband mutter, "Oh, wait, I already pinned that." I about died, y'all. Captain J barely participates in any social media/networking websites so when I came home from a mini shopping spree with Jenn, I see him trying to request an invite. He ended up just creating a folder on mine entitled, "...Man Stuff"which is why I've been pinning lots of log cabin ideas the past few days.

Other things that have cracked me up recently?

(If you'd like to download that app it's called PhotoAge and it's freeeeee)

Happy Friday to ya!

that time my husband called me fat

We were enjoying bath time with Baby K one weekday evening. Typically, we blast music and file bath time under "Jazz Time". It's our little tradition, a happy time. I was busy snapping photos of that sweet child of mine when my phone dings indicating an incoming text message.

It's a comment from a family member that says Baby K is starting to look more like me.

When I said this out loud with a proud smile on my face, my husband doesn't miss a beat and is totally straight-faced when he says, "Why because he's getting chubbier?"

Ouch.

Of course, I don't have to point out his error as he realizes very quickly that he should never NOT EVER say that to his wife. He then tries to explain as I snap away to document his monumental fail. It went something like this:

 "Oh, wow. I didn't mean it the way it came out! Um, err...

 You know how K has cute cheeks that you can grab on to- like you. You have great cheeks...

 Mine are all sunken in like this...

Just to recap. You are not chubby. You have great cheeks, just like our son. Crap. That sounded really bad."

Insert tons of laughter.

Bath time is over.

My husband- he doesn't really have a way with words, but I love him anyway.

SOMEthing's Drawn- Celeb Edition

Howdy! It's time for another edition of:

<a href="http://www.mrskandcaptainj.net" target="_blank"><img src=" http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/ksmoore21/somethingsdrawn.jpg " alt="MrsKandCaptainJ" width="220" height="220" /></a>

I thought I'd do a little celebrity highlight post today. You don't have to, of course- just link up the drawings you want to share, both good and bad! The first two? I'm pretty proud of. Pretty sure I nailed the Snooki and Elton John drawings-

However, the Eminem and P.Diddy drawings could use a little tweaking. It's a testament to my fellow players that they ever guess my weirdo drawings.

Or maybe it's just obvious after I write out the words. Yeah, I cheat a lot using words. It's necessary.

Why are the two rappers nakey? Who knows.

I hope you've got lots of stuff I can make fun of this week! I could use a good laugh. ;)
