Breakfast and Crafting

First of all I just want to say thank you to all the men and women who serve and have served our country. And a special shout out to my dad who is a Marine.


Now on to the weekend!

We kept things pretty low key on Friday. Leftovers, some cleaning, laundry and bed times snuggles. I know I say it all the time but being with my boys is everything to me

Saturday I woke up at 6 because I didn't hear the monitor or the fan going. I tried to turn on the light and nothing. The house was complete silence. I waited about 20 mins before I called the power company and they told me that we had an outage and that it would not come back on until 10ish. Well the wind was blowing and it was in the 30's so I called my parents and asked if G and I could come hang out for the morning. They of course said yes to I packed us all up and then woke up G and we headed over there. We played and hung out until it was time to leave for breakfast. My mom, dad, grandma, aunt colleen ,uncle bob, and grayson and I all met for breakfast. It was a blast the breakfast was great. My Grandma is 88 so I decided to start the monthly breakfasts so that we see her more. She loves seeing Grayson and it's great to catch up. After that G and I headed home. We had power thank goodness and after about an hour of being home G went down for a nap. I made brownies, vacuumed, mopped and scrubbed the bathroom. Then when Michael got home I jumped in the shower and we were all ready for Chris and Tracy to come for dinner. Michael made steak and fresh cut french fries it was hands down the best steak I have ever had. After a dinner we put G to bed then had a few drinks and some laughs. It was a great night.


Sunday we met up with my mom and sister and Tracy to go to the craft show. I love this craft show she has the perfect mixture of crafts and antiques. I got G a rocking chair, a cut snowman, and some battery tea lights. Everyone else got some pretty cook stuff. Then we headed to my parents for dinner.

It was a wonderful weekend spent with the people I love.




Grayson has started crawling. It's more like doing the worm but he can still get to things. I told Michael it is now time to get baby gate shopping!


Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a fast Monday!

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 ...

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...
