Layin down the weekend

Friday- Grabbed Grayson from daycare and headed to my Aunt's house. We went to say goodbye to my cousin who is leaving for the navy today. He is nervous but excited for the new chapter in his life. We promised him letters and pictures and I can't wait to see the man that this experience helps form. After we left there I grabbed dinner because once Friday comes I'm over cooking. Thank goodness I had the right mind to budget a take out night!!! We went home and snuggled up in some blankets while we watched a movie. Then I we put G down and Michael and I worked out. I'm really starting to see results from the shred!

Saturday- We got up and sent Libby Lou this picture......

Then we started to groove on some laundry and house chores. G went down for a nap and I vacuumed all the floors. Then we played are little hearts out until his afternoon nap. Then I just relaxed while he slept. Then Michael came home and we ate dinner and got ready for the birthday party. Libby got a rabbit and she loves it!!! Here are some pictures from the party

Watching football with Uncle Tommy

Sunday- We relaxed. And watched football of course.
G learned this new face.

Then decided to fix the wheel on his highchair

Then watched football with his best buddy.

Then we headed over to my parents house for stuffed peppers and apple cake for dessert. I meal planned and am going to do my shopping today. So far so good I'm sticking to my budget and our bank account is thankful.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and have a wonderful Monday!

I just love this little boy!

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...
