I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it

Today is Valentine's day and the controversy that it's a made up holiday and you should tell the person you love all year round how you feel. Well blah blah blah.

It's a reason to go above and beyond. We don't eat fillet every week or even month for that matter but it's a nice excuse for Michael to cook that dinner for us.

But then again I'm a holiday whore. If you tell me it's national donut day I'm the first one in line at Timmy Ho's stuffing my hole with donuts. Or when the lady at Tops was handing out cookies because it was national chocolate chip cookie day and I contemplated walking by her several times to get multiple cookies.

I love holiday's. It's fun to celebrate with your loved ones. My parents always celebrated Valentine's day with us. We had a card and candy waiting for us at breakfast and they (my mom) always bought us valentine's donuts.

We did get Grayson a couple small things for Valentine's day. This book and then the one that can be considered lame these socks he needed socks with grippers on them in a bad way so they are going in is Valentine's day bag. Next year he will get a heart shaped donut and more fun gifts because he will get it more. Plus next year I will have to valentine's for him so it will be so much more ~~stressful~~ fun.

We planned on doing our dinner tonight but moved it to tomorrow because my Grandma called and wanted us to go to the Elk's with her and my aunt for Friday fish fry, and when your 88 year old grandma invites you to dinner you make it work because time is precious.

We don't do gifts. Just cards. Simple and perfect the way I like it. Although I did get him a chocolate bar and wrote a note on it and snuck it in the kitchen last night so that when he went to make his coffee this morning he would see it. It cost me a dolla and he loved it so it was worth it. He made me a flower out of construction paper and in my hurried state I forgot to take a picture but it was cute and I loved it.

Normally we would not sneak around and do little cute things like that but this day makes us get creative and for that it is all worth it.

And now what you are all waiting for the cute picture of my nugget love

Happy love day! Hug someone a little longer and maybe even get wild and hold hands just make sure it's with someone you know and not a stranger that could get weird.

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...
