Timing

I have a whole post done up with my fall tour pictures all loaded in it courtesy of my iphone but today I feel the need to type this post up.

My hubby and I have been discussing timing a lot lately. Everything seems to be on a time limit. For example this summer we got a pool so that turned into we neeeeed a deck and when is the right time for that? Well we settled on the spring of 2014 and have been hoarding saving our pennies to be able to do this debt free.
Next up I want a new kitchen. Our kitchen right now, well how do I put this if Michael, myself, Grayson (in his highchair) and Riley are all in the kitchen we are like a can of sardines. I never loved our kitchen even when we bought the house I didn't love it but I figured this was the "starter" house and we would move in a few years. Well things change and we plan to stay at our house until well we have no plans of leaving. So I want a new kitchen. I want to open this up to the dining room which is enormous and have it be a "great" room. My hubby says that in 2-3 years we can do this.


This then leads into well in 2 years I want to be pregnant again. I would love for my kids to be 2-3 years apart. That gives us enough special time with my darling Grayson and he can hit all his milestones you know crawling, walking, driving, talking, and potty training.

After our 3509846209 talk about this and the "timing" of it all I said lets just let it all go. We will do the kitchen once we have saved up enough for it. And if I happen to pregnant while it is going on then we will adjust. My parents have a spare room and a nursery that has a crib and a toddler bed in it.


See I get accused labeled by my husband that I'm an over planner. I like to know what's coming up. Grayson, 100% planned. I knew the 4 month range (yes I'm a control freak) that I wanted to get pregnant in. I plan to do the same with baby number 2.
Michael would love to try for another baby once G turns one. But you see to me that is tooo soooon! I want some time with G so I figure we will start when he is 2. I'm sure this will change and really when you sit back and think about it well only God knows the right timing of it all. He is the ultimate planner and he does often give me a lesson in that when I try to force things to be my way. Not sure the point of this post but I just think a lot a lot about baby #2 and our house imporovements and well everything so this helped get it out.

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
