Weekend re-cap

When I left work on Friday I was shouting TGIF!!! To say that I was ready for my weekend was an understatement....

We had leftovers for dinner and just relaxed. My sister came to visit for a little bit when she got out of work and it was just a nice relaxing night to end a busy week.

Saturday G and I got up and met my mom for round 2 of blueberry picking. We freeze them so we have blueberries all year round. I know have 2 gallon size freezer bags full of blueberries. My hubby is ecstatic. Then we went and met my sister at a cute little shop in the town she lives in. I got some pretty good deals. I bought a huge wicker basket that in any other place on the planet would have been over $20.00 I got it for $6.99. It is perfect to put our blankets in in the living room!!! I was beyond excited and snatched it right up. I didn't go too crazy because they are having a big craft show August 24th and it will be fall over load!!! I can't wait!

Saturday night we relaxed as a family and started to sleep train baby G. He cried it out for 30 min and then I just could not handle it. I went in and held him for about 15 min and he slept straight though until 2:00!!! Then a quick flip back over to his back and a paci and he was back out until 6:00 this is progress people but I'm still not good on the crying thing but it did work so we will see.

Sunday was my day to really hustle and clean well my sister called wanted to take Grayson to a picnic she was attending so she came and grabbed him for a few hours. I folded laundry and went and organized Gray's room a little bit and I started to put away the rest of our stuff from camping. I got most of it done but then it hit me like a ton of bricks...my lack of sleep. So for the last half an hour I laid on the couch and ate bon bons gold fish crackers. When G came home we fed him and put him down for a quick nap. (part of sleep training no sleeping after 4) So he slept from 3:15 until 4:10 (OK sue me over 10 min) We gave him his veggies around 5 then we ate dinner and showered and got ready to head to my brothers for cake for my dad. It was so great to see everyone because we just all love each other so much. The cousins get excited to see each other. And we always have a few brews and just chit chat. My Dad's birthday is not until the 20th put we did it on Sunday because my brother and sister-in-law and her whole family leave for the OBX on Friday. And my dad has knee surgery the day before.

Grayson ate his cereal and went to sleep there and stayed sleeping up until 2 this morning at which point my butt just brought him into our bed. What is it they say 2 steps forward 3 back?? Oh well I'm surviving. That's all I'm trying to do. Get thorough what I think is him cutting it first teeth and still be able to function. I know all the no-No's but I'm doing what works for us. We will get him to sleeping through the night, he is just stubborn like his parent. Everything on his own terms and for now we are all healthy and happy so that's what matters.

Our week is full as usual although a little less than last week. I'm look forward to soaking up as many lazy summer nights with my boys as I can because we are almost halfway through August and fall is sneaking in.

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
