This that and the other

This weekend was uneventful.....

We relaxed, we played, we drank, we ate you know the usual.

Here are just some highlights

-Grayson can move through the room by "crawling" when I say crawling I mean he pulls his bottom half with his top half. So he pretty much looks like Lt. Dan after he lost his legs, when he is going through his drunk phase pre new legs.

-We went out and had a few drinks on Saturday it was our friends birthday and my mom came and sat with G while he slept. I swear that Grayson knows when momma has a few drinks because he woke up for an hour at midnight. This from a kid who has slept through the night alllll week long!

-Michael made me chicken. I love his grilled chicken.

-I took Grayson's pictures for our Christmas cards. It came down to two that we all loved. We voted it was a split so we called my aunt and gave her the final say. I'm ordering them today!

-Starting my prep for my juice cleanse tomorrow. And then I will be starting with the 3-day and then after that the 7.

-Grayson will be 8 months old tomorrow cue tears and me telling my husband that I want another small(er) squishy baby. And him telling me that he will never touch me again or that he will hide birth control in my cheese.

-We had Sunday dinner at my mom's house and she made mac-n-cheese and I ate a ton. However proud of myself that I skipped the pudding

-OK I will be honest I had to skip it because Michael got hives from god knows what and we had to rush home to get benadryl. He is so high maintenance.

-There are some exciting things in the works that could mean huge changes for our family. I'm praying hard and putting my trust in God that he knows the ultimate plan and that is all I can do.

Happy Monday! My prayers go out to all that have been affected by the extreme weather over the weekend.

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...
