Long weekend re-cap

Saturday we crafted until we dropped. You can see all my finds here. Grayson was an absolute doll!
He gets a crowd wherever he goes because well my boy is good natured and smiles at anyone that says hi.
My mom, aunt, sister, and bestie met us at the craft show and we all got great deals. Saturday night we soaked up some G time and were planning on a walk and then the rain and thunder came. Total buzz kill so we hunkered down and relaxed to the max. I started my mountains of laundry and we watched the Bills game it was a bummer but we are die hard fans.

Sunday we hung out in the morning and started to get G packed up for his sleep over at Gigi and Papa's house. He was so good on Sunday and I was just loving on him all day because I knew how bad I was going to miss him. Michael got home around 1 and jumped in the shower and then took Grayson over to my parents. I stayed back and got ready. Michael came back and picked me up and we got our anniversary celebration started. We stopped by Valu and grabbed some bins and a bagster. Then we were off a quick stop at Guitar Center and then Tully's for dinner. I la love Tully's. It is a sports bar and they have the best chicken tenders eva!!! We partied down with some beer, loaded fries and tenders.

Next we hit up the Chistmas Tree Store, which much to my husbands dismay did not sell just Christmas trees. I got some cute fall decor and some under the bed storage bags. I mean these were a steal 3.50!!! They were 8 at other stores. Done and done. I grabbed some picture frames and a cute prop that I needed for G's christmas pictures. (I know it's not even fall yet but I like to be prepared!!!). Then we went to the store of all stores Target. Let me just say I forgot about the whole kids going back to college this week thing and that place was swamped with college kids!!!! It was a mad house thankfully we were mostly in the baby isle!
I scooped up this sweet vest for baby G Boys Vest. I mean you cannot beat the price and I can just picture him wearing it while we pick apples!! We picked up some other essentials and formula and waited forever in line to cash out. Then we headed home, and grabbed some ice cream at a little stand on our way. We got home unloaded the car and hit the sheets for a night of un interputed sleep.

Monday it was business time. We started working at 9:00 am. and by 11:30 we had the attic cleaned out, all of G's clothes organized and in bins, and we had all the decorations for holidays in bins and all the bins put back in the attic. We showered quick and then moved onto our room. Got both new dressers moved in and clothes put in them. Then onto G's room that I packed up his bassinet, swing, and all his 0-3 and 3-6 month clothing. I may have cried a looking at how little he used to be. Then when he came home I quickly snapped out of the ohmygoshmybabyisgrowingtofast phase because he was grabbing my face and smiling like it was his job. We gave him a quick bath and then put him to bed. Overall a great weekend with a lot accomplished. Now we just have to takle the laundry room, kitchen, dinning room, and our guest room. I love organizing.

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...
