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 those full time. 





Charlotte



One- This sweet thing has been in dance now for a few months and his loving it. It's called creative movement where they learn leaps and skipping and things like that and it is just sweet. She is actually taking dance with the same teacher/studio that I went to when I was dancing. Full circle moment right there

Two- She is a little mother. We have baby dolls and stuffed animals that need to be put to bed each and every night. 

Three- She in the last 2 months has decided that she LOVES clothes and shoes. Anytime she gets a new dress or shoes she has to tell everyone try it on and prance around the house. God bless her brothers for dealing with her yelling "BOYS LOOK AT MY NEW DRESS ISN'T IT AMAZING!!!" In the picture above she picked out her own outfit to draw in which explains the paper all over the floor.

Four- She will draw, color and craft all the live long day. I bought her a ream of white paper and she blew threw half of it in no time. Everyone that walks in the house gets a picture from Charlotte



Marshall

I had to put this picture over Christmas he was just obsessed with Santa and would just beam when he was on his lap


One- Also hockey obsessed. He will sit and watch a full game he's always playing with his hockey playmobile set and walking around with a stick in his hand. 

Two-My animal lover. All my kids love animals but Marshall is OBESESSED with our dog Riley. He is the first person he says good morning to and he must give him a hug goodnight. They can often be found laying together while watching sports and my heart just melts.

Three- Sings his little heart out. He is often heard from the back seat asking for a song just so he can belt it out. His little voice singing at the top of his lungs and mispronouncing words just makes my heart full 

Four- Must have his hair spiked. One time abut 3 weeks ago when I was getting him out of the bath I dried his hair and it stood straight up and I showed him in the mirror to get him to laugh and he yelled "I LOOK LIKE RIDER!" Ya know from Paw Patrol so now we spike him up everyday because he just loves it. 



All of us and hockey 

Michael is gearing up to play in the Blue Light Pond Hockey tournament this weekend. I'm so proud of him and all the work he has put into it. Can't wait to cheer him on this weekend

I'm getting on the ice myself. We have signed up for a family skate class and it's been so nice to be out there all together. I have not been on the ice in years and this is Charlottes first time and she is blowing us all away with how good she is.

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
