Things

My sister has left her job at the daycare because she got a better job offer closer to her house and more money. I'm not upset with her at all but I didn't realize how hard it would be for me to drop G off without her there. I cried for the first time ever. Could be my hormones still being legit a mess who knows but I ugly cried in the parking lot of Tim Hortons for what seemed like forever saying to my husband over and over again, " I didn't even know the girl who was taking him out of his carseat, what if they don't burp him, what if he cries and they don't know how to comfort him, oh my gosh I want to stay home with him". Thank God my husband is a saint and just let me wail and then it passed and he was happy when we picked him. What can I say I'm a mess.

It's starting to get cooler here and I'm semi excited. I la love fall. The colors, the apples, the fall smell, the cooler weather. But I don't like the shorter days.

I have held true to my Septemeber 1st date. I ran twice this weekend. I did not make it into the gym but I still worked out. Yesterday I started the 30 day shred and plan on doing that in the morning before I go to work and then walking and/or going to the gym after work. It feels good.

Football starts this weekend!!! I'm beyond excited. I love football. We have it on allllll day Sunday. I can't wait to start putting G in his football gear.

It freaked me out the other day thinking about the fact that this time last year I was pregnant!! I then freaked myself out further remebering that Grayson has almost been with us for half a year!!! I mean come on that can't really be possible.

We have decided to start meal planning and saving as much money on groceries as possible. We have taken a look at our budget and have been spending an insane amount on food. The wasting stops now. It's nice to meal plan because that is how we were spending money. We would just fly by the seat of our pants for dinner and I was at the store 3-5 time a week buying one dinner at a time at $25 to $30 a trip that is just way to much. So meal planning and coupon clipping it is and I'm determinted to cut our grocery budget in half.

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...
