Catching up!

It's been crazy around here lately. Between a hectic work schedule and the start of some sort of head cold I'm getting I have had zero time to blog. Since work is a little bit calmer today and the head cold has yet to be full blown I'm going to try and fit in our weekend re-cap (on a Thursday) and list a few small goals for this month.


Friday was any normal day then to pick up Grayson then get a pizza for dinner and just hang out. We color a ton Friday nights and we also hang out in his rocket ship tent.

Saturday- It was the day Libby was coming to spend the night and hang out with us. These to played all night long. Running, coloring, baby dolls, trucks, in the tent out of the tent. I was tired just watching them. When Libby comes to spend the night with me we always sleep on the pull out couch together. I paid for it the next day it was so uncomfortable, but she had a great time we played MASH which at first I was like how do you know MASH? Your like 3 but then I remembered she was 9 so we played and she giggled the whole time.

Sunday- We woke up and hung out on the pull out couch watching Mickey and eating a snack. Then I fed the hyena's breakfast (donuts that Libby and Gigi picked out). Here is the supper awesome thing about Libby being there. She is 9 so she can supervise Grayson while I'm in the shower. I got to shower and get ready before Church and they watched a show and had a snack. Then we headed to Church and it was a great service. One that spoke to my heart in such a profound way.

Once we got home it was time for lunch and naps. Libby "rested" for a while then her and I made soft pretzel bites. They were amazing!!! A little time consuming but with 2 sets of hand we got it done. Plus we made a nacho cheese sauce and guys I will never buy the store bought stuff again it was that easy and that good.

We headed to my brothers for B's 4th birthday party and to watch the super bowl. It was fun and crazy and loud. The boys played great together and took a bath together. At half time we headed home and watched the rest of the game in our comfy clothes.

It was a wonderful fun weekend.

Now onto my goals

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...
