Random, Random and more Random

Tonight is the first night of volleyball that I have to play without my hubby. He got tickets to sit in a suite at the ZZ Top concert and is going with my dad. I will miss him but he will have a blast and it's a once in a lifetime chance.

Tomorrow I have a dinner with my mom,sister, baby G and my mom's best friend from high school Aunt Lisa. I have not seen her in years and this is the first time she will meet baby G. I can't wait.

That will be two nights in a row that Michael and I will be apart and I will miss him.

Thursday is our anniversary which will spent at home with a pizza.

Grayson has 7 yes you read that right 7 totes of "future" clothes. Meaning clothes that range from 18 months to size 5. I'm beyond grateful for this because that is less we have to spend on clothes. My cousin had a boy and she gave 5 huge garbage bins full of clothes. I went through them all and have them organized now by size.

Work today is difficult I would like to be home with my boys thank you very much.

I need to take more pictures with my real camera. I bought a good one a Cannon and I use it sometimes but it is easier to iphone it up.

I love when people see my baby and smile. I don't know why it warms my heart.

Riley and Grayson now interact. Well by interact I mean Grayson pulls his fur and Riley just lays there. Love them together.

Grayson rolls his way around. I mean this kid legit is getting to the phase where he does not like to be held. We put him on his play mat and in a matter of 2 seconds he is rolling all over the rug.

Because of the previous statement I want to get the foam interlocking mat. Michael says he does not need it because we have a rug. Add this debate to the puppy one! It's a dead lock people.

I know it's only Tuesday but I'm hoping for a relaxing weekend because our week is looking up to be a busy one.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
