The weekend on a Tuesday

So I still didn't get the family pictures that we took from my dad because I suck like that.

Friday- Michael called me at work and told me he had a surprise. I'm a brat and made him tell me on the phone. He switched his days off of work so now he would have Sunday off with us and have to work Tuesday. The first thing out of my mouth is "What will you be doing with Grayson while you are at work?" He of course didn't think of that so he called daycare they could take him and all was good. Then he told me I hurt his feelings because I didn't act excited. But I'm a planner and once we knew G's daycare was set I was over the moon! Having a day off with my boys is like gold to me since it hardly ever happens. So we went home on Friday and ate left overs and cuddled my perfect night.

Saturday- I made my two pies (lemon meringue and chocolate) for our Thanksgiving bash on Sunday while Grayson was sleeping. Thank goodness he gives me 2 good hours. Michael came home and we packed up and headed to my parents house. We have a tradition that we make the stuffing, peal the potatoes, and stuff the turkey the night before. My niece Libby was there to help and it was a blast. We got all of our prep work done and had dinner together. I love spending the holiday's with my family.

Sunday- I woke up with my boys!!!! It was amazing. We got morning cuddles. Michael made me breakfast (cinnamon rolls our tradition) and we relaxed. Then I made my deviled eggs showered and we were at my mom's house by noon. To say that we had a blast would be an understatement. We have such a good time together laughing, joking, eating, taking pictures, wrangling the kids. We celebrate Thanksgiving the Sunday before with my brother and grandma that way it cuts down on the stops on  Thursday. I love having a day separate that we don't have to rush.

Yesterday was crazy at work but I got it done. Now they are calling for a snow storm tonight 8-12 inches blah so I'm hitting the grocery store for essentials tonight after work and then hoping the weather man is wrong.

Happy Tuesday!

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
