We had a great weekend

We had a great weekend and Monday hit me hard this was my desk at 2:00.

I never drink soda but I needed caffeine and could not leave work for a Timmy's run so I hit the vending machine.


Friday was just a nice relaxing night at home. I knew the next day that I had a fun "yes" day planned for Grayson and so we just took it easy. We had a minor meltdown because we took away a football that he took a huge bite out of (it was one of those nerf ones) and so he lost his mind. Then we had a conversation with Mike Wizowski in the bath tub.


It was early to bed for all of us.


Saturday Grayson and I slept in until 7:15!!! In out house that is huge! So we took it slow and headed out to the park. We got there at 8:30 and had the whole place to ourselves. He ran around, told me he was a big boy and that I could go sit on the bench and then proceeded to call me to him every 5 seconds to "hewp me up to dat big fing up der" lol boys.




We left there around 9:15 and headed to Kohl's to make some returns and pick up a few things. My child did not want to get in a kart. At all. So I decided to be a yes mom and let him push a kart. That lasted for all of .25 seconds and then he wanted to ride in the kart. So I put him in it. The basket part that is and it is a weird shaped kart and you couldn't see him in there. Some lady thought I was talking to myself until he popped his head up. Then we were getting ready to leave and well I had too much stuff to fit in the kart and he wanted to be carried so I was trying to juggle it all and stuff started to fall in the middle of the parking lot. The sweetest lady stopped and pushed my kart to my car helped me unload it and took the kart back in the store for me. God likes to show us that people are good and he is good all the time.

We had to run to the store for some chips and dip for dinner and Grayson wanted a minion cupcake and so I said yes and told him he could eat it after lunch. Then he wanted a fruit smoothie for lunch so we swung through the drive through and grabbed one for him.

He wanted to eat lunch on his stool and watch bubble guppies so I let him while I put away the stuff from the store. He ate half his cupcake and then went down for a nap. Saturday night was family movie night and relaxing.



Sunday was church, swimming at Chris and Tracy's, nap and then dinner at GiGi and Papa's house. Michael and I ended Sunday like we always do with ice cream.

I have to say that having a yes day with Grayson on Saturday was so nice and less stressful and really made me see how much I can make that little mans day by saying yes to simple things like letting him carry the things to set the table one at a time. Sure it takes longer but man he was so proud of the dinner table he set. I got this whole idea from Andrea and it is a game changer.


Happy Tuesday!

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
