Thanksgiving wrap up

It was a glorious 4 days off of work! I even snuck out an hour early on Wednesday so I could kiss on my chunky nugget called Grayson. He went for an overnight with Gigi so that the hubs and I could get in a date night. It was wonderful and simple and everything we needed. Dinner and a movie at home with ice cream and popcorn sign me up!

Thursday we really just relaxed had breakfast, started pulling out the christmas decorations, and then headed to my parents and scoop up our baby boy because we missed him like crazy ( We even talked about going to pick him up several times because we just love having him with us.)

I went out shopping. I got a ton of my Christmas shopping done. I got home at 1 in the morning and was up at 7 with baby G. He then started his new trick. Let's call it " I started real crawling and pulling myself up on everything". Thanks for being super mobile now and we will be baby gate shopping asap. We also had to lower the crib because G be crazy and was standing and yelling and I was having nightmares that he would just flip out of the crib.

My tree is up it just needs ornamnets, I have my one shelf decorated but I'm still not happy with it, and I just ordered our stockings so now I need stocking holders.

My Christmas cards are already in the mail and I have a full post to come on the Christmas card saga.

The long weekend was still too short and I begged Michael to be a stay at home mom today.

Happy Monday!

Turkey butt

I love him and his belly

Our family Thanksgiving picture (for the record that Turkey was made out of Grayson's hand)

I had the best view on Date night. I just love this man!

This is the Santa my Grandma made in 1989 and if you push the fluff ball on his hat it still plays music

He wants to be just like Daddy.

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
