Our weekend

The weekends go by way to fast and I long for a longer weekend more time to be lazy in the morning and spend time with my boys. But it's Monday and I'm back to work trying not to fall asleep at my desk #thestruggleisreal


Anyway here is our weekend

Friday- Michael and I had the day off. We got up took Grayson to school and then went to the Home Depot and got a new shower head. Ever since Grayson was about 1 and started to act like washing his hair was a form of torture I wanted one of those removable shower heads so I didn't have to dump water on him. Well we finally got one and now I just need my Dad to come over and put it on. Then we got down to business at home. We cleared out our spare bedroom which over the last 6 months has become a catch all of crap. We purged so much and now we are ready for someone to come in and give us an estimate to have it re drywalled and new windows put in. Grayson is ready for a big boy room and we are ready to give it to him it's just trying to find someone we like for a good price. Let the hunt begin. Anyway we worked for hours straight then ordered a pizza for lunch and I pulled out all my fall decorations. I showered really quick and then headed to get G from school and pick up Libby and B. I grabbed the kids hit the drive thru for baby doughnuts and we went home to play until dinner time. Then we headed to the Friday night football game at the school my mom teaches at which also happens to be the same marching band my brother works with so it was a win win. Okay small side story when I was in school we didn't have a football, now my high school and the school my mom teaches at have combined certain activities and football was one of them. So kids from my school now play at this school too! 

Anyway the kids had a blast at the game with candy and pom poms plus we got to watch my brothers drum line at half time and then after that we hit the road home because it was way past our bed time. 



Saturday 
I woke up with a migraine and my wonderful mother came and took Grayson shopping with her so I could sleep it off and brought him home around lunch time. I gave him lunch and put him down for a nap and I went back to sleep too and finally woke up feeling better. We lounged around on Saturday and spent sometime snuggling on the couch.

Sunday
It's football time in our house and so since this is the only week that out Bill's play a late game we had my Granmda, Aunt & Uncle and my parents over for dinner and the game. Michael made chili my aunt brought pizza and our Bill's pulled out the big W! We are all crazy fans and we yell and jump up and scream when they score and so now Grayson does too. He spend most of the game throwing his nerf ball to everyone and screaming when we scored!

It was a great weekend! And this week we are getting fall temperatures! I love the 60s's!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

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 ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
