Another check off the "you know your a mom when..." list

Yeah and the weekend.

So Friday we had leftovers. Since we are on a budget we decided to save our takeout budget for this week and next and have a date night the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so leftovers it was. I was ok with it because I didn't have to cook and on Friday the only thing on my mind is getting into comfy clothes and drinking a beer.


Once we were done with dinner the boys went upstairs to play guitar and I watched Parenthood which is starting to bug me because every week the previews get more and more vague and intense!!!! Ahhhh so sad it's the last season!


Saturday- it started of wonderful. As in G woke up at his normal time 5:30 and we went downstairs and snuggled and watched "Icky Ouse" Then after breakfast we got ready to head out to a craft show with Gigi, Trace, and Marie. I had my mind set on only spending $40.00 well I spend $41.04 so close enough. I got the cutest coat rack. The picture below is not the best (because Michael took it) but you get the idea. Speaking of that is a church pew under it. It was my Great Grandmothers and was given to us by my parents when we bought out house. I love it so many memories from my childhood.


We also stopped at another antique/craft shop and I bought a shelf with hangers on it for stockings and I will show you that once it is hung up. I still have to figure that one out!
G napped and woke up kind of cranky. We snuggled, Michael got home from work and the boys headed upstairs so I could finish off dinner. I then hear "Katliiiiiiiiin I neeeeed a towel and fast!!!!" Grayson threw up. All over. the. carpet.twice. So I ran up stairs and grabbed G changed him and brought him down with me. I held him while I finished making dinner and was about to go sit in the living room when it happened. Round #2 all over him and I. There it is got my Mom card. I went 20 months without getting up chucked on and in one night it happened 4 times. Poor thing couldn't even keep water down. He went right to bed he was so exhausted and slept until 4 when he woke up asking for "lawlor" I gave him some and prayed that it stayed down. It did and he has not lost anything since.


This was one of the hardest things for me because I was committed to going to a brunch for my Aunt's 50th birthday on Sunday and I didn't really want to leave Grayson but as my mom pointed out we were gone  during his nap time so I went and had a great time and got home before my baby woke up. Thank goodness for my Dad he sat with Grayson. Once he got up we colored and hung out in the dinning room while I rearranged some furniture and cleaned out some drawers on our buffet. My boy is still not 100% but he is keeping down food and drink so that is good.


This wonderful Monday started with SNOW and has not stopped yet! Here is to the 16 inches they are calling for!

Happy Monday!

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
