Friday Favorites-Novemeber edition

Well since it is the first Friday of November I'm going to list some of my favorite things about this month

Linking up with Andrea!!!

One- Of course Thanksgiving!!!! I love the food, family, and football that happens on this day. We have 2 Thanksgivings because it's crazy with a big family so we do one the Sunday before and then on Thanksgiving day. We get our fair share of turkey!!!

Baby Grayson last year were does the time go?!?!?!?!

Two- We take family pictures on Thanksgiving Every. Single. Year. So I'm really digging this shirt for G to wear! I also like this one too but my husband said I can only get away with Thanksgiving shirts for the first year!
Jersey Striped Pullover

Three- It's acceptable to wear Christmas pjs in November because really there aren't thanksgiving jammies. Here are some that I love love love for my little man
I already have these for him
Christmas 1-Piece Microfleece PJs

I have my eye on these ones as well I'm loving the deer on the pants and even though they label it Christmas totally just a winter thing in my eyes

2-Piece Christmas Cotton & Fleece PJs

(carters had 50% off plus an extra 25% off your $40 purchase!!! great time to stock up!)

Four- I always always always send my Christmas cards out the day after Thanksgiving. It's all because of Minted. They have this awesome address assistant that I have all my addresses in and they print out my envelopes for free!!!! Plus the cards are amazing quality and I love the designs. I purchase my cards way in advance but can upload my picture anytime! I will be doing pictures this weekend and then getting my proof done! Here was the card that almost made the cut, but it was pretty similar to last years and I like to change it up. (plus click the link and you can get $25.00 off!!!)

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...
