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.

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
