More about me Part 2

I have an older brother (fact he is my half brother from my dad's first marriage but we NEVER say half)
He is 15 years older than me and it took us until he had his first baby for us to get close.
Now I love our relationship and we bond even more with each child we have (with our spouses not each other DUH!)
I have a younger sister that is 4 years younger than me.
It took us a long time to find our grove because we always seemed at different stages in our lives.
She is the most AMAZING aunt to my baby. She even got a job at the daycare he goes to! (So we now refer to daycare as going to Aunt Hay Hay's work)
I love her more because of it.
My parents have been married for 32 years.
My mom is my best friend (second only to my hubby bubby)
She is referred to as Gigi by all the grand kids and now it has become her nickname!
My dad is called Papa (Tom).
Watching my dad with Grayson has been amazing ~~and I may have cried a few times~~
My father has such patience it is admirable.
I grew up in a small town (think more cows ~~and Amish~~ then people)
I had a great childhood the perfect balance of fairy tale life and real world.
My husband and I went to the same high school and grew up around the corner from each other (country corner so like 2 miles away) however we are 9 years apart so we did not find this out until many years later.
I worked at a law firm for 2 years and traveled for 6 months every Monday to New Jersey ( I live in WNY)
It was all good and fun until I met my (now) husband and then I dreaded it.
Looking back it was the best thing being away from each other we had to talk on the phone and became best friends that way.
We were engaged 4 months after we started dating and bought our first house 1 month after that.
OK I think that enough but if anyone as questions (not that anyone reads this) just leave it in the comments.

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 ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
