Yes to the dress and growing pains

Friday at 3:30 could not come fast enough. I had just had  along week and was ready to not have to get up at 5:00 the next day. I scooped up my nugget from school and we went to get baby donuts. His new thing is to eat them out of the box they come in and I have to say I'm surprised at how good he is about eating 3 and then giving me the box. Plus he requested a smoothing for dinner so I got him one while we were there. I went home and just relaxed. Michael and I had the best dinner. He made cheese quesadillas and then cooked two eggs over easy and put them on top. It was wonderful and even though it was a last minute idea it is going in rotation.


Saturday ahhhh my day to sleep in except Grayson was up at 5:15 because he was hungry and had to go potty so down stairs we went he ate a bowl of lucky charms while I had some honey nut chex and then I fell asleep on the couch while he watched Frozen on the iPad. I got up and got dressed because I had an appointment to meet my sister and all the bridesmaids to help her pick out her wedding dress. Now normally I would go in and help her get dressed in each dress, however due to my belly size and the fact that they lady was super pushy and pushed even my sister-in-law out of the dressing room we all sat and watched her walk out. She tried on about 6 dressed and fell in love with one!!! We are so excited that this is finally checked off the list and that she found one she loves. My dad was watching Grayson for me so I went home right after and him and I both went down for a nap. We had pasta for dinner and we had a stand off about eating dinner. Grayson went to bed without eating because he refused pasta and only wanted to eat cereal which was not happening because he eats pasta all the time at school.


Sunday we had no plans except for snuggle and maybe work on laundry. We had waffles for breakfast which hungry boy at 2 of and then still had a bowl of lucky charms. My mom called and said she was dropping by to see Grayson and play with him while I worked on laundry. She ended up organizing all the toys in his toy room and we threw out a bunch of junky stuff. It looks so much better than it did and we only have a little more work to do in that room and it will be done! I finished up laundry and again after lunch we both took a a nap. After naps I put the laundry away Grayson dressed up as a ninja turtle super hero and we had subs for dinner. Grayson again was fighting eating a fish stick (Michael had a fish sandwich) and it sat on his plate until after bath when he asked for a cookie and I told him he had to eat at least two bites of the fish stick. He ended up doing it just for the cookie! Parent win right there. He did have yogurt a cheese stick and an applesauce for dinner too but I was not letting him get away without eating that fish! We watched Frozen again and then he went to bed and we had brownie sundae's.

It was a good relaxing weekend and I needed it because I'm pretty sure I had a growth spurt with the belly this weekend because there was times the round ligament pain sent me to my knees and stopped me from walking.

This week our B turns 5(!!!!), we have an ultrasound and Dr's appointment and I go for a massage. Plus the Superbowl!!!

Happy Monday!

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...
