Our weekend and other things

This weekend was nice and low key. Which I really need lately because work just drains it out of me it's nice to take it slower in the mornings and nap when Grayson does.

Friday- I had a painting class with my Mom and sister so we grabbed Mexican before and then had a blast painting. I was thankful that the class didn't take as long as the last one and I was home by 7:30. I have to say this was not my favorite painting that we did, but it was still fun. They are taking a break for the holidays and then will start back up in February/March.

This was about halfway through

Saturday- Grayson came into bed with me at 4:30 in the morning and snuggled right up and fell back asleep I had a heck of a time waking him up at 7:15! And yes I woke him up because if he sleeps past 7:30 he will not nap and Mama needs nap time! We got up and snuggled some more on the couch while eating breakfast. Then we folded all the laundry and put it away. He went down for a nap and so did I and then it was dinner and baths. It was just a low key day that was fun.

I could lay like this with him forever I just love this little boy

All the laundry that we washed and dried and put in baskets but it's all done and put away

Sunday- My mom called and asked if she could take Grayson on her errands with her and take him to the park. Of course she could! I cleaned out my car because we on the hunt for a new one that will accommodate our growing family. Then I picked up the house and relaxed until he got home. She brought him home passed out. I carried him up to bed and he slept until 4. We watched football, our Bills squished the Fish and we got another victory. Then I started to go through my maternity clothes because the time is coming very soon where I will be rotating the same outfits!

His face is just pure joy

So a few other things we are looking for a new vehicle and it will probably be a mini van because we just need the room with 3 car seats plus my mom and sister come with me a lot places and I want to be able to still drive everyone in one car.

I started Christmas shopping and checking things off my list. With being pregnant I'm really trying to stay super organized and ahead of the game this year. I know it sounds silly but this is Grayson's last Christmas before the babies come and I want it to be extra special, which means no stress and just plain fun.

Happy Tuesday!

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...
