When my husband gets a crazy idea

My husband is such an outdoors guy. He grew up on dirt bikes and working on cars. We own a muscle car that is crazy fast and we take out on date nights.

When I met him he had his car, a motorcycle, and a 4 wheeler. Over the years toys have moved around and as of right now he just has the car. Which I would never let him sell in a million years! He has almost completely rebuilt that car and it is such a labor of love plus he picked me up for our first date in that car so it has some good memories.

Anyway about a month ago we were talking about getting a 4 wheeler again. One that was bigger, that we could both ride on and that could have a plow on it to plow the driveway in the winter. After going over out bills it just didn't seem to work right now.

Well fast forward to Monday and after shuffling some things around and paying off some debt.We figured out what we could afford, Michael called the bank we got approved and on Tuesday he picked out the wheeler he wanted called the guy and now on Friday him and Chris leave for a 6 hour drive to go look at and hopefully (most likely) pick up and bring it home.

I know get a night at home just me which never happens. I plan to paint my nails, make cookies, watch TV and start going through my closet.

This was one of the things I signed on for when I married Michael. He is very detailed yet quick.I mean we were only together for 4 months when he proposed! I knew then that my life would be made up of quick decisions and be full of fun.

Here is to having a 4 wheeler to plow the driveway and to spend sometime trail riding together!

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...
