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.

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...
