All things Halloween!!!!

This year Grayson got it all. And I loved every second of it.

Last year he was 1.5 and we did about 5 houses and called it a day. It was cold and rainy and he just didn't get it.

This year was awesome!

First off we carved pumpkins the weekend before Halloween. He picked out an owl and cleaned the inside out himself and then had Daddy help him do the cutting of the owl.

He was so proud of his end result.

Thursday was Character Day at school and to keep it simple and not get his Halloween costume dirty we wore TMNT PJ's to school and he loved having on the cape!

Friday after school my sister took Grayson to Beggar's night in the town she works in.

Grayson was Yoda this year however he insisted on always wearing the hood so his ears drooped. You win some you lose some. He got a ton of candy that night and came home and crashed hard he was tired.

Saturday was the big day he was so excited to trick or treat with his cousins. Since the kids are still younger we try to coordinate the 3 of them. B was Darth Vader (or if you ask Grayson he says Dark Bader) and Libby was Pricess Laya and G was Yoda they looked super cute.

We headed to a cul-de-sac of a family friend and did that really quick right at 4 then headed back to my brothers house and trick or treated there. The kids never ran out of energy and out lasted me and my mom. We headed back after almost 2 hours of trick or treating and met my Grandma and Aunt at the house. The rest of them headed back with the kids almost an hour later. They went hard and got a ton of candy. Plus Grayson walked almost the whole time. But we did bring the wagon for when the boys got tired and it did happen at the end.

It was a great weekend. And then we gained an hour except my kid missed the memo where that means more sleep. So we were up at 5.

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
