Grayson gets to meet his babies

We have been talking to Grayson about mommy having two babies in her stomach for what seems like forever

At first no interest at all I think because I didn't really have a belly at first but as my belly grew he started to hug and kiss it or pet it as he calls it.

He knew mommy was growing his brother and sister and he was excited to hold them.

So when the day came for them to finally meet I was beyond excited. I had picked up gifts for him to give to them as well as gifts for him from his babies.

He walked in a little scared he just looked at them and didn't want to touch them at all at first. So we did gifts he gave them their little toys for their car seats and then Michael brought out the gift from the babies, a Paw Patrol rolling luggage and he flipped out he loved it so much! Then I told him to open it and he flipped even more over the 4 mini Lego sets the babies got him. The first thing he wanted to do was go show the nurses who just swooned over him so he came back with chocolate, a coloring book and the promise of a Popsicle. Already a lady killer lol.

We asked him if he wanted to hold the babies and he said no so we didn't push it. Michael took him downstairs to the cafeteria with Gigi and they had dinner. When he came back upstairs to the room he was ready to hold his babies.

He was so proud of them!

2 seconds later he said he was done and ready for a grape Popsicle.

Gigi took him home to our house so that Michael could stay with me until visiting hours were over because we were asking the godparents as they came and held the babies.

Grayson came back everyday (except the day we came home) and did great everyday.

Now we have had some rough moments but overall I would say he has handled this huge transition amazing. He is so proud every time he holds them which is often and only in about 5 minute spans but he loves it.

Nothing makes my heart happier than all my babies in one picture!

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
