A different kind of night

Last night Michael went to play guitar so after dinner that left me alone with Grayson. I'm super blessed because this happens 2 maybe 3 times a month so when be does go I just suck it up.


So last night after dinner Michael left and Grayson and I got to playing. We read a million books he ran like a crazy person from the dining room back to the living room and then repeat. He dumped his shoe bin and ripped every book off his shelf.


He started losing it around milk time (6:30) so I got his sippy and turned on Mickey. Normally this is when I start to pick up but since it was just me and my boy I snuggled him on the couch.With an (almost)18 month old snuggles are few and far between because my boy is always on the go.

Then into the bath we went. We put almost every bath toy in the tub had lots of bubbles and sang silly songs. Then we got our comfy's on and up to bed he went. I came back down and decided I had earned a little treat so I had a handful of M&M's. Then I jumped in the shower.


As I was getting ready to head up to bed I remembered I had not picked up any of our mess. The dining room was trashed and so was the living room. But on this night I let it go. The mess would be there tomorrow. I was ready to go up stairs and relax for once while watching my new obsession Jersey Belle.

I'm not going to lie it sucked a little bit waking up and having the house be trashed but I smiled remembering the memories we made and the few moments of peace and quiet I had.

What's Up Wednesday

I love when there is prompted writing. About everything! Linking up with Mix and Match Mama ! What we are eating Chicken and lots of it. My husband makes the best chicken quesidilla's ever. He uses taco seasoning (homemade to avoid a ton of sodium) and whole wheat tortilla's. I love them we have them at least once a week! What I'm reminiscing about Our anniversary trip last year. It was so much fun just the two of us and I know we won't be doing it this year because our focus is paying off debt so it will be a date night. I love Cleveland and loved the Rock n Roll Hall of fame! What I'm loving Real Housewives of NYC. The B is back and I love her! What we've been up to Family time and organizing! I got my closet almost all cleaned out and Grayson's is pretty much done I just need to pick up a few more bins to pack away old clothes! Spring cleaning at it's finest! What I'm dreading Michael play...

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 ...
