My Groundhogs Day

When I first saw Andrea's list of Show and Tell Tuesday's I thought about skipping this one. How could I chose one day?!?!?!? I have so many amazing ones that I have been blessed with. And then I remembered a day not too far back that was perfect.

So here is a breakdown of my Groundhogs day.

Michael would be home with us and we would all cuddle in bed together while we wake up in the morning

Then we would all eat breakfast as a family something fun like pancakes or Cinnamon rolls and lots of coffee.

We would play and play and play and maybe make a trip to the grocery store for dinner that night. On a whim we would buy something fun like make your own pizza's

We would come home and have lunch and then nap. Michael and I would watch a movie while the little napped and just enjoy quiet time together.

Then we would cook as a family in the kitchen. We would laugh, there would be tons of baby giggles and lots of hugs.

We would eat and have baths. Then we would cuddle on the couch and snuggle as a family.

My day is simple, my day might even be boring to some but for me it's the best thing in the world. I love the days when we are home together even if we are snowed in and doing laundry or organizing a room. If I have my boys with me I'm complete.

I know I didn't pick my wedding day sure it was an amazing day and I would not trade it for anything but I love Michael more now, I'm closer to him now so choosing that day would be a step backwards.

And no I didn't pick the day Grayson was born. Again amazing and life changing and full of love. But I love him more now, we are best friends, he is my sidekick.

Right now in these simple moments between working, tantrums, to-do lists, and just surviving my favorite memories are being made and I will thank God every single night for the simple moments he blesses me with.

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
