Weekend the re-mix

So Friday we relaxed. My sister stopped by to love on Grayson. She misses him since she is not with him 3 days a week at daycare. We played with G and then went into our bed time routine.


Saturday G slept until 7. Ate is bottle which he now holds on his own (insert small tear here because he doesn't need momma anymore) Then he was back asleep by 8:15. He never naps after is first bottle but momma rolled with it. I cleaned the living room top to bottom. Did 2 loads of laundry. Shower and drank my cup of coffee. He woke up at 9:50!!!! That is an almost 2 hour nap which was majorly awesome. Then we are cereal, got dressed and went shopping with Gigi. We hit up Maurice's so Gigi could get a few tops for school. I did not buy one thing!!!! So proud of myself sticking to my budget! Then we went to Target to get Libby's birthday presents because she will be 8 on 9/14. It seems like yesterday she was just born oh time slow the eff down.
Anywho a little side story, back at the end of June there was a water main break one street over from where my brother and sister-in-law live. Long story short their basement flooded and ruined a lot of the kids toys. Thankfully Lib's baby doll's were up stairs but all of her baby clothes were not.End of side story
So for her birthday I hit up the clearance rack at Target to snag some baby swag. I got her 4 outfits for her baby for $6.00. I also have a package of diapers to give her that we never used for G. She will be so excited. I also got her a cute little cardigan, and a couple t-shirts that were on sale for $1.50 a piece. Score and score. My mom of course went bat ish crazy and bought Gray 4 onsies and a pair of jimmy jams. Then we scooted over to Wegmans. I love this store but it is so far away so it is a treat to go. My hubby gave me a budget of $20.00 for the party and I only went over by $5.00. Which just so happened to be a few bottles of beer so it was OK. Grayson looked like this


Then we came home and hung out with daddy. It was just a great day.

Sunday was grandparents day so we had to send them this 


Then we went apple picking 


Then we came home G took a quick nap while I finished getting ready for Tracy and Christ to come over for some football!!!! Here is the good news bad news part. We did not take any pictures. Good because we were just in the moment enjoying family, bad because G looked way to cute in is Bills jersey. We had awesome food. Loaded nachos, loaded fries, chip and dip (Bison dip the only way we roll), meatballs subs, and hot dogs. Oh yeah and lots and lots of beer!!!! And even though our Bill's lost they played good and we will get the W next week. We are all still in our sudden death pool so bring on the pressure of picking another team! 
I checked off some of my September goals already so that was good. 
Happy Monday everyone!!!

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...
