Friday Favorites- Happiness

It's Friday!!! On one hand I'm all Yahooooooo and on the other I'm all Say what? already? where is the time going???

I'm linking up with Andrea to share some of my favorites from the week.

These are just some Favorite Moments that make me happy!

Michael and I went to the grocery store alone and together. Which is so one of my Favorites. We very rarely go together anymore. I usually just pop in after work, it's my ME time (such a mom right?). But on Wednesday he had a doctors appointment that I went to with him and after we scooted into the store to pick up a few things. We held hands and laughed together. Sure it was only 10 minuets but man did I soak that up.

My next favorite is from the same day. We picked up Grayson together. He did not know what to do and him seeing Michael and saying "No No Daddy Home" was a favorite moment that I died laughing over. That kid is all routine and he knows that Mama drops him off and picks him up.

The big boy haircut he is sportting is for sure a favorite. He is on repair saying "Ayson haier cuT" he really likes to emphasize the T on cut. Plus when he says that he then goes into a whole story about how "ashhhhy cuT Ayson and Daddy cuT too!" Never mind that he is pulling his hair straight up the whole time he is saying this.Love the way he connects the dots.

Snuggle time with my boy in the morning this week is topping my Favorite list too. He has been getting up at 5 in the morning sure it's 15 mins before my alarm goes off but still I scoop him up and bring him into bed with me. I turn on Oso (which ick I so am not a fan of that show but he loves it) and he makes me put my arm around him and we sit in bed and cuddle for a good 15 mins before heading down stairs. He always grabs my face and gives me my morning kiss.

And my last one is a favorite that I'm looking forward to. A morning at home ALONE. I love my boys but to have a few hours home alone I have a list a mile long and hopefully I can get it done. And yes I even wrote down enjoy a cup of coffee while it's still hot (and not from re-heating it!)

Happy Friday everyone!!!

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...
