The perfect weekend

Do you ever just have a weekend that makes your soul happy? That was what this weekend was for me.

Friday- It was mad windy here like power lines down and trees everywhere so once I snatched up my Grayson from daycare we went home got into comfy's and stayed in. We had a nice simple pizza for dinner that my hubby made it was delicious. Then I went around making notes about what I wanted to buy for each room.

Saturday- G and I got up at our normal 7 and once he ate we played for a little bit. Then I got him down for a nap so that he could get one in before we left for shopping and that way I could get ready. He slept for an hour which gave me enough time to pack our diaper bag and shower, get dressed , and eat breakfast. My mom got there shortly after G woke up and fed him his fruit and bottle so I could do my makeup and get the car loaded up. Then we were off. Let me just say that I'm in LOVE with HomeGoods. It has everything and the prices are to die for. This was the first time I had been to a Home Goods that was not in a TJMaxx. It was way better. I got some beautiful baskets for the living room, pillows and a throw that I'm obsessed with. I got some cute Christmas decorations and a tray for the kitchen because we now have a coffee center that we love. We went to BJ's and I picked out glasses we got some necessities (dog food, paper towels, butter) and a pair of jimmy jams for G then we headed home. We spent the rest of the night relaxing as a family and it was wonderful. Then it's time for the bed time routine and Michael tells me that he will feed him and put him to bed so that I can take a bath!!!! I have not taken a bubble bath since Grayson has been born and boy did I need it. I put Pandora on with my headphones and just relaxed. It was wonderful and I felt to refreshed. That is just one of the million reasons I'm so in love with my husband he takes care of me and knows when I need something like that.

Sunday- We watched football and headed to my parents for Sunday dinner. Those nights are so nice spending it with family. It makes me have a perma-grin watching my parents with my son.

Our week is pretty busy but a good kind of busy.

Grayson has started drinking water from a sippy cup and it amazes me that I have a baby old enough for a sippy. I mean he was just born!!!

I hope everyone has a great week!!!!

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...
