Simple

Simple........... that's how I like my nights during the week


I like coming home and eating left overs or grilled cheese and soup or let's be real cereal. I like when I walk in the door and there it is my world standing there smiling at me. My boys ahhhh be still my heart they make my world go round.

Someone (me like 3 years ago) could look at my life and scream BORING!!!! Yes my pre baby pre family self would have thought that too but now? Now I relish in the fact that I know what I'm coming home to.

On Monday and Tuesday's I come home to smiling boys, I hear stories of how they spent their day and that G helped daddy change is guitar strings. I get to sit on the floor and just breath for what feels like for the first time that day, all while my baby drools on me and grabs my face. I'm at peace, I'm whole again, I'm happy and I'm in love. I'm in love with the way G looks at us and scrunches up his nose and smiles. I'm in love with the way Michael talks to him and the love and friendship that the two of them already have. I'm in love with my dog I mean he is the bomb.com when it comes to Grayson. He lets him pull his fur and tail and he knows that licking his feet gets giggles so he will do it everyone in a while. He loves G and G loves him they are quite the pair the two of them.

The rest of the week well that's pretty amazing too. I love picking up Grayson from daycare. He can be anywhere in that room and once our eyes meet and I shriek   say HIIIIII Bubbie Lou!!!! His smile could light up the room he is so happy and my heart just bursts with love. We talk the whole way home to Daddy and when we pull in the driveway and get in the house we have our family hug. It's the best he touches our faces and just smiles or spits on us either way it's all good.

I like that at 6:30 him and Daddy head into the bath and I start my routine of getting jimmy jams and making is cereal and doing my little things in the kitchen like making the coffee and packing lunches. I love all this. I crave it. When we don't get to do our routine my heart feels a little sad, I feel off. I love my time with those boys.

So call me boring, predictable, or whatever else you want if that's what you think I am. I think I'm blessed, in love, and well just plain surrounded by amazingness (if it's not a word sorry).

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...
