Bullet points kind of

I had a totally different post planned for this morning.

One where I talked about the emotionally draining morning I had with Grayson yesterday and about how hard motherhood can be.

And then I got up today and I got dressed and I looked over at the sleeping boy in my bed.

*sigh* I love him so much my heart hurts and that morning we had yesterday is wiped away.

So here are some random things......

-I went and saw my niece play in her honors band concert last night. Serious proud Aunt moment right there!

-I dream about pina coladas. Like hard core. They are delicious. And made with fruit so good for me? I know that's stretching it but I love them!

-Grayson is so smart. Every parent says this but he carries on conversations with me and when he got bit at school he told me who it was and that the teacher thought it was another little girl (who is the known biter) and that she went to time out not who really bit him.

-Michael and I are making huge changes to the house, which include moving out some furniture, bringing in some new stuff and a bathroom spruce up!

-I have one plan this weekend and that is to clean out my laundry room. It makes me itch when I go in there it is so disorganized and so that is all I want to get done

-I feel God so much more now and I think that is because I'm putting in the work. I'm praying with purpose and writing out my thoughts to God. Plus having church outside I don't know there is just something about being in nature and worshiping that moves me.

-My Grandma turns 90 in October and so we have some fun things in the works for her as a surprise! I'm all about planning a party and am so excited to see it come together. Simple but cute that is the look I'm going for.

-Thursday night in our house is going to be all about laundry and our monthly budget!

Happy Thursday!

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
