Random things

Sleep training is kind of working. He is still getting up for a block in the middle of the night. But he now sleeps in his crib all night and he naps in his crib!!! Huge steps ones that are good for mom and dad.

I'm a list person. I write lists for everything. However I lose them a lot or only get halfway through them. The only list that always get accomplished is the one that is on our fridge on a dry erase board. Maybe I need to get a bigger one or put one in every room hmmmmm?

I hate doing dishes enough said

I never do dishes because when we moved into our house we had enough money to get a dishwasher but my loving husband said it would be too much work to put one in because of the counter top size and that if we didn't get a dishwasher he would always do the dishes. So I hold him to that and in our 4 years of marriage I have maybe done dishes 10 times.

I don't mind laundry. It's a no brain-er kind of thing you can through it in and get other things done.

We have a plan in regards to our work schedules. Michael gets 19 days a year so in the summer months he will take of one weekend a month and that will give us family time. It is what works for us now because we could not afford daycare 5 days a week and him getting weekends off would force us to do that.

I want another dog. My husband says no. The debate continues.

This is my last 5 day work week for 2 weeks! Holla!!!

My husband does not get Labor day off which seems ironic to me.

Me and ice cream have been having nightly dates lately. I keep telling myself not to buy it. But something takes over me when I'm at the store and it always somehow falls into my cart and then later it falls into my mouth.

Grayson is growing like crazy. I mean he is 9 month clothes and 6 months still fit him weight wise but he has go-go gadget arms and legs to everything is off in the length.

I already bought G's Halloween costume. I got it for $16.00 on sale and I had to snatch it up.

On  another holiday note I have already started putting things on my amazon wish list for G for Christmas. I mean jump the gun much?

I'm obsessed with pina coladas. So while it is still sunny and warm I'm indulging and dreaming of being on a beach or pool bar.

I sometimes still wear my maternity shirts. Not because I need to but because I like how long they are. I even contemplated buying some the other day at Target and then realized my insanity and went back to my normal clothes section.

I have been stalking the sites for Thanksgiving outfits. I maybe a little obsessive but those things sell out like hot cakes.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

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

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
