Busy Weekend Re-cap

Friday after I picked up G and we got home we just relaxed for a little while. Grayson was fussy because he only slept for half an hour allllll day!!! He usually sleeps a good 2-3 hours throughout the day so he was way over tired. We ate dinner fast (we had breakfast sandwiches and waffles) and then we got G ready for bed early. His little head had hit the sheets by 6:15.

Saturday I got up and started to clean the house. I got my grocery list around for my party supplies and laid my clothes out for the wedding we had later that night. My mom came and got G at 12:30 and then I scrubbed my bathroom and cleaned up the kitchen before I met Michael at the grocery store for the big shopping. So let me be honest and say I blew my budget. I said $100.00 well it was really more like $250.00. The party got much bigger than I originally thought and we had 30 people. So I was still pretty happy with the out come. Then we rushed home to get ready for the wedding. The way they decorated the venue was cute and rustic. I did not take any pictures because well I left my phone in the car. But we had a few beer, and danced to a couple slow dances and then headed home. My mom was a doll and brought G back to our house to put him to bed so we did not have to take him out after he was asleep.

Sunday was the big day and my sister came over early to help me get ready. By 2 the party was in full swing and thankfully the rain stopped and the sun came out so people could be outside and inside. I made 6 pounds of taco mean and it was all GONE.!!!! I for sure thought that I would have left overs but all was good because people ate and had a good time. Overall it was a fun successful day and Michael said it was his best party to date so it goes down as a win!!

Now tonight I'm more than ready to just relax with my boys!!!!

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
