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.

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
