sticker quirk

Believe it or not, folks... I have quirks. One of them was discovered by Brian this weekend and immediately destroyed.

Sad, I know.
I think our future renters would've enjoyed seeing the inside of one cupboard completely covered in the little stickers removed from produce items.

Ivy Lou said...: Okay, I really think you guys should have left them there. I think it's funny! I always try to get Abi to wear them on her shirt, like me, but she doesn't think it's cool like I do! But to put them inside your cupboard door...now that's pure genius!!; February 10, 2009 at 9:22 AM
Julie said...: you never cease to amaze me!!

oh and p.s. picture of Brianna - Be my valentine - couldnt' be even cuter if she tried!!!; February 10, 2009 at 9:37 AM
Amy Hunter said...: I've always thought you were quirky. Now, I rest my case. LOL! I love it! I think I'm going to start that tradition.; February 10, 2009 at 9:59 AM
Unknown said...: I'm wondering why he just discovered them. But I think It's hilarious.; February 10, 2009 at 10:04 AM
chelsea mckell said...: why Brian just discovered them... well if you knew Brian you wouldn't be surprised. The man doesn't even know where to find silverware. He grew up in a very female-dominated kitchen, and still doesn't feel comfortable in one. I had to teach him the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon. He never washed a dish in his life before marrying me. So the fact that he had never opened this little cupboard is hardly surprising.; February 10, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Megan Smith said...: Oh, how that makes me laugh! Chelsea, you are queen of the banana stickers. Don't worry, it's actually IMO a cute quirk--much better than those annoying people who steal the shortcake pieces out of the strawberry shortcake icecream.

This is made even better by the fact that Brian never noticed it until now. You two are just perfect for eachother--what a great post right before V-Day. Oh, except that he destroyed it.; February 10, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Mandy said...: :) That is so stinkin funny! What a great place to put those stickers!! They drive me crazy!! :) I also love that Brian never noticed them!!; February 10, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Unknown said...: That is so funny! My brothers and I used to do that when we were kids on our pantry door!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the picture of Brianna and the "Will you be my valentine?"! So stinking cute!!!; February 11, 2009 at 8:19 PM

Debbie said...: Chelsea - we have TALKED about your fixation with displaying stickers. For those of you who have not been aware of Chelsea's "slight" reluctance to dispose of food stickers as most of us do, and find it funny - wait til she visits you and you find stickers in obscure places long after she has said goodbye! Actually, it is endearing and gives you a little smile. UNLESS, the stickers does not come off easily and leaves a residuel you have to WORK to remove! Love you Chel.

Briett said...: Love this! Ha Ha. I can see you have been eating lots of good things for you.; February 15, 2009 at 10:44 PM

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
