Randomness and the weekend

FOOTBALL!!!! I'm beyond excited I love football.

~~As of right now we really have NOTHING planned for this weekend.~~ Although let me just say that can change at the drop of a hat. I had just finished typing that when my hubby called me.

Well there are a few things planned. Sunday is Grandparent's Day and I plan on taking Grayson over to visit my parents. I want to try and get his footprints on a card for them. We will see that boy rides a bicycle every change he gets so getting the whole foot on paper thing could be a challange.

Watch the eff out we are having a little gathering for the first Sunday of football!!! Beer and yummy food!!! I can't wait.(this is what my hubby just called me about!)

Being on a very strict grocery budget I'm already thinking of what I can make for said football party. The wheels are a turning because I do NOT want to blow my budget the very first month. Meatball subs anyone?

Knock on wood and fingers crossed baby G is still sleeping through the night. I mean I do not even wake up at all!!! I'm getting such good rest and so is the hubby. However in the last few nights he has been fighting going to sleep. I think that last night was because of teething. But once he is out he is out until 6 am so he averages 10-12 hours a night.

I have my porch all prepped and ready for the fall decor!!! So excited.......maybe I will take a trip on Saturday and get some pumpkins, hay bale's, and mums.

I have been setting daily goals for myself to get done. Simple things around the house like pack up the garden decor, scrub bathroom, put away the laudry. And it has helped me feel less overwhelmed. My hubby has even started doing the same thing and we write it all on the white board on the fridge. It keeps us accountable and when we get to erase something we feel accomplished. Even if it is as simple as wash bottles.

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
