The night I got sleep

My mom is a teacher. That equals summers off. Well not for her she teaches summer school. But she is off of school now so of course she wants some baby G time.

She called me on wednesday after the whole fiasco and told me to pack baby Gray an overnight bag and she would pick him up from daycare and keep him overnight so we could get some sleep. I mean the angels were signing. Wednesday was the worst sleep night ever. I didn't get to sleep until 1 and then was up at 3 and then again at 5 for good so I was running on fumes.

She grabbed him from daycare on Thursday with my niece Libby who was begging to see Grayson. So when I got out of work that night I picked up dinner went home and cuddles with my husband. We needed some good ol couch time together. We ate dinner and then I did a little organizing of G's clothes and then we went to bed at.......wait for it ...... 7:00!!!! I was asleep by 7:15 and slept straight through until my alarm at 5:15!!!!

I felt like million dollars the next day. My mom called me in my way to work abs told me that she let G cry it out and it only took 5 min. Soooo I decided to put my nose to the grindstone and legit sleep train. Friday night he slept from 8:00 to 10:30 then we did the cry it out and I pat him on the back and told him its night night time every 10 min he finally fell asleep at 11:30 and slept until 4 then I went in and patted him on the back and gave him his binky and he slept until 7:45!!!! 7:45 I could not believe it! I got so much done in 45 min and he was happy when he woke up!! Praise The Lord sleep training!!! Hopefully we keep it up!

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 ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
