The Weekend and Things

Our weekend was pretty relaxing

Except for on Saturday when Grayson decided to fight his nap.... Any Momma knows how much you neeed nap time.

I use nap time on the weekends to work out and do all the things that I can't do when G is up, like scrub the bathroom, and put away my laundry, or eat even.

When he fights sleep and won't go down I have a meltdown. I need that time to re-charge and what not. He finally fell asleep but only for half an hour. So I went up and brought him downstairs with me. He just laid on me on the couch and before I knew it he was asleep again. Not wanting to risk another wake up I let him sleep on me for about and hour and I caught up on my trashygottahaveit TV.

After that we met up with my sister to do some shopping and I got G the coolest shop stool for out in the garage/man cave.

Sunday we had family dinner at our house (chili dogs, because we are classy) and then we watched the Bronco's win and are now just hoping that they smash the patriots next week. I'm a Bill's fan hardcore but when my Billy goats are out I move on to other options and I love me some Manning.

I have not been to the gym yet but I have been hardcore working out at home and have been loving it.

I'm buying my own gel nails kit this week because I'm tired of going to the salon. Plus the last few times they have not been as good and the girl has seemed rushed.

Grayson is getting so big and will be ten months and it is so close to his 1st birthday that I'm having a breakdown/ I want another baby thing going on. My husband thinks I'm crazy and I can't deny it.

That's all for now. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that we all survive this 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 ...

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...
