My babies start daycare today. Tiny tear. And just a tiny one because I love love love the teachers in the infant room. I dropped off the diapers yesterday so that it was one less thing to carry in while trying to get my small herd into the building. Alive. I did it and we all made it in. Seeing Grayson so proud to show of his babies was the sweetest thing. Plus his teacher said they would be taking a field trip down to the baby room to see his babies! He was so happy.

Small win I don't have to send in spoons or bowls for their cereal. All the praise hands becaues that's one less thing to pack and wash. I do however have to make bottles. Because since we are not using the daycare provided formula (not because we are snobs just because my babies have sensative stomachs) I have to pre mix all of their bottles for the day. Womp womp this caused me to have to buy more bottles. Otherwise I would be washing bottles right before we had to leave in the morning and that is no bueno.

I opted to get my makeup done for the wedding as well as my hair. A girl my sister went to highschool with does eye make up and will do it for $10.00. Sign me up for that and another plus? She is coming to the hair salon so that is a one stop shop for me!

My bridezilla sister assigned us hairstyles. Normally I would protest but I love the style she picked for me so I just called her bridezilla and moved on.

Did I mention I'm doing the entire reception hall? Yup I'm the stylist for the whole reception. Bring on all the mason jars and flowers and chalboard signs. I love doing this kind of stuff though so I'm really looking forward to Friday and decorating.

Michael and I celebrate 7 years of marriage on Monday and that just blows my mind.

US 4 YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD JUST FOUND OUT WE PREGNANT WITH GRAYSON

Grayson is thriving and testing us and getting smarter by the second and I fear for his teenage years because he is so good with words. Plus he has the best facial exprestions.

He had to make a cardboard car for school tomorrow because they are doing an end of summer drive in movie. It's so cute and him and Michael worked on it yesterday. Grayson wanted a Camaro "wike daddy" so that is what he got. He is so proud of it and can't wait to watch Zootopia in it with his friends tomorrow.

I have been eating like crap lately. Being busy causes us to reach for take out for dinner more nights than we would like. After the wedding we are jumping back on the health train.

Today is my Friday. I'm off tomorrow and don't come back to work until Tuesday and I'm excited for a weekend with my family!

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...
