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.

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...
