Thanksgiving-2014

I'm breaking my week long break from the blog to talk about our mini-Thanksgiving vacation.

It was glorious

Wednesday I left work an hour early headed to Home Goods and snagged a few little Christmas decorations. Then I headed to pick up my sweet boy from daycare. He was still sleeping, must have been the big Thanksgiving feast they had that day.

Then my Mom came and picked him up for an overnight. Then it was date night for me and the hubby. We don't get to go out just the 2 of us very often but when we do we enjoy every second. It was nice one on one time. We went to the gun range and shot a couple rounds and then went to dinner at the Olive Garden. I stuffed myself so full but I enjoyed every bite. Then on the way home we stopped and got ice cream and headed home for a movie and some cuddles. We were out by 10:30.


Thursday we got up I made breakfast, Michael got down the Christmas decorations and out tree. Once we finished eating we got our house all decorated and cleaned. Then we headed to see our boy and have Thanksgiving at my Aunt's house. The food was amazing. Now every year I go black Friday shopping. I even did it when I was pregnant. However this year we decided to enjoy shopping from the comforts of our very own home and I have to say I loved it. I got great deals and am done shopping except for gift cards!


Friday we had a birthday party to go to complete with a hot dog bar.
Saturday my Mom got Grayson for a few hours to go to the Light Festival Kids Workshops. He decorated a cookie, made an ornament, got is face painted, and colored. Then he came home napped I cleaned and napped and once Michael got home we headed out for some grocery shopping and pizza.

Sunday Grayson woke up with pink eye. So to Urgent care we went and once we picked up our drops it was home for lunch and naps all around. The rest of the night we just hung out. I double checked my Christmas list and started to get organized.

Monday came too quick, but we enjoyed our family time together.

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 ...
