Easter and things

The weekends are never long enough. Unfortunately I didn't win the lottery or find a crap ton of money so I'm back at work today.


Friday when I got out of work I ran some errands and grabbed the last minute things I needed for Easter Sunday. I picked up dinner for my whole family, picked up Michael and we headed down to my parents house. I was so excited to see G. I missed having him with me in the morning since he spent the night at my parents house. We ate dinner and then we did Easter baskets. My mom still hides eggs for all of us and does an Easter basket. Once that was done we dyed eggs. It was nice to have a low key Easter celebration with my parents


Saturday I had to run G to the doctors. He was having some issues but they are all cleared up now and all is good. Then around 3:30 Chris called and said his sister was in town and wanted to know if we all wanted to get together for dinner. We headed to the DRI which is supper awesome bar/restaurant. We got so many compliments on how good our sweet boy was. He just sat in his highchair and ate and played. The food was awesome and it was soo good to catch up with Kimberly. We only get to see her a few times a year so we always make time when she comes home.


Sunday we had a busy day. I had to make a cheesecake and put together G's basket plus my house was a mess. Grayson took a two hour morning nap so that helped. I got all my little things done plus got to shower. Then we headed to my aunt's house which is around the corner for an egg hunt and dinner. G was so cute in his Easter outfit and picking up eggs. My Aunt has a really cool tradition where she hides silver dollars in the eggs. She gives each of the kids a glass piggy bank to hold all of the silver dollars. Since it was G's first year to participate in the hunt he got his piggy bank and his first 10 silver dollars. I'm so excited to collect these for him every year.

After dinner we were exhausted we came home and did baskets for the 3 of us and then just relaxed.


It was such a wonderful weekend and I'm so happy that I have the amazing family that I do.

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...
