Family pictures

What did we do before Pinterest?


We have family pictures coming up. I like to do them right around G's birthday that way I get a true "year" picture of him. So March is always our family pictures.Which kind of stinks for outdoor pictures but our photographer is amazing so I never worry!
They are next Monday and oh my word I'm behind the ball I have no outfits picked out!

So I jumped on Pinterest to find some inspiration and decided I wanted a blue and white/nude thing going on. Grayson looks awesome in blue my honey has blue eyes and so blue it was.


I love a little boy in a polo. Plus this one from Target had me at under $10.00. #kidsgrowtofasttospendatonofmoney.

Side note: I had a small breakdown as I packed away all the 18 month clothing yesterday. Why is he growing? 2 is slaying me. For real.


I grabbed Michael this gingham shirt from Old Navy they had 30% off everything and so it was a good price too.
 

I picked out this shirt and I'm anxious to get it in the mail because I'm unsure of the fit but I loved the pattern and just a hint of blue. Plus I bought these nude flats because I needed a good spring shoe to work into pictures!

I'm unsure yet what I will have Grayson wear in his solo pictures. I have a few outfits pulled at home but I haven't decided yet. My Mom is coming over this weekend to put her vote in. I try and only do one outfit change for him and only a top because it's hard to wrestle a greased pig.

Here are a few Pinterest poses I want to try and this year I'm getting a picture of just me and Michael.

I love this pose
Have you ever tried hosting a photo shoot for your friends or family?  Taking photos of people can give you a great excuse to spend quality time with your loved ones!
But I can't squat down that long so we will see.


And this one with me and my boy!
I need this picture! Before he gets too big and won't kiss me :)



Plus I want something simple like this of me and Michael

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
