Superbowl weekend

It was a great weekend!

Friday I picked up Grayson and we headed to the grocery store to grab a few things. We went to the store that has  little carts that are just his size and that boy does a great job of pushing his own cart. It was just such a sweet experience with him. We got all the things we need to make his treat for his party this week at school and then we headed over and got baby doughnuts and smoothie for dinner. We relaxed Friday night and since Michael had a mandatory driving class and didn't have to be to work until 9 the next working we got to stay up a little later together and watch a movie.



Saturday we woke up as a family and had breakfast together. Michael headed out to work. Grayson and I watched the snow out the window and then Aunt Halli came over to see Grayson and drop off a few outfits for the twins. I got ready to head to my massage and my Mom came over and took Grayson to her house to play and then nap. My massage was awesome. I did the half an hour to see how I liked it and I'm for sure planning on going back in March for the one hour because in the half an hour they only do upper body but for the hours it's total body so I'm excited for that! I came home and took a nap which was much needed and then Michael picked up Panera for dinner and when Grayson came home we ate as a family and then relaxed the rest of the night.



Sunday we had  B's birthday party/Superbowl party in the afternoon so I took the morning to get laundry done. I find that if I do one load during the week then I only have 2 loads on the weekend and that is much more manageable. Michael called around 9 and said he would be home in about an hour because his work truck had broken down. We always love when he comes home early. He brought out all the bins of baby clothes from the attic and we got them labeled by size and then it was family nap for all. We got up and headed to my brothers and enjoyed a ton of food and watching the game. I was pretty indifferent to who one since I didn't have a dog in the fight. We left after the 3rd quarter and got home to watch the last 5 mins and see the Bronco's win. I was happy for Peyton. It was a late night but a good weekend.

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...
