Life Lately

We survived the big 2nd birthday party and by survived I mean it turned out awesome and it was one of our best parties to date! It is such a surreal experience to see all these people show up for your baby. He is so loved and that makes me so happy.

Now that the party is over my focus can shift to some other things coming up like our 4 wheeling trip. We are going for just the weekend to Tug Hill for the Snirt run (Snirt= snow and dirt). We are going with a 7 other people most of which are couples and we spend Friday night and Saturday night and then come home on Sunday. I'm excited to ride with Michael we always have such a great time plus I got a new seat for the back of the wheeler so it should be super comfy now! We ride all day on Saturday and since I couldn't get off work we are getting there around 8:30 on Friday night. I hate leaving Grayson but I know Michael and I need some time. The 3 hour drive up by ourselves will be nice to just chat and catch up. I need to get a couple things for the trip including some rain boots. I need something I can hose off when they are covered in mud but that are still semi warm in case it is cold. Plus I need a new cute baseball hat to wear at stops because we all know helmet hair is a mess!

My other obsession lately? Switching around my living room and dining room. The dining room is the biggest room in the house and right off the kitchen. The living room is on the smaller side and the farthest from the kitchen so when I'm cooking I'm isolated from the family and our kitchen is way to small to have everyone in there together. So now I'm thinking that I may just flip flop the two and have more space to play and be closer together when we are making dinner. My one hang up my coffee!

I know it sounds strange but right now I have a coffee station with my beloved Keurig on the buffet in our dining room. I need this to be in the living room now (if we switch the rooms) and so I'm on the hunt for the perfect coffee bar to put in the living room. Pinterest has been working over time for me and I think Michael is going to be able to build be something! Here are a few of my ideas of what I want it to look like. I really want doors so that I can keep all of our glassware in there and away from grabby hands (*cough* Grayson *cough*)
This is the one I want my hubby to build finers crossed it happens soon!
I love the idea of putting a lamp next to the coffee bar!
This one I think I could do easily find an old dresser and paint it but the drawers make me nervous. But I love the look.


I'm itching for warm weather and so is Grayson everyday when we get home he asks to "go pay on my swide Mommy!" and I have to say no because it's still only 28 out and our yard is half snow half swamp from all the melted snow. Hurry up warm weather we  miss you!
I will leave you with this nugget's picture of him playing with his "pitty neckwaces" He was yelling for me this morning say "Mommy takea my pitcher with my pitty neckwaces on!"

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
