Cookies

I'm just going to jump right in because I have no rhyme or reason to this post.....Hey it's Monday and I'm still in weekend mode


Grayson has a double ear infection, after just going to the ENT Tuesday and getting a perfect bill of health he gets sick. Kids are just bat shit crazy like that

I baked over 20 dozen cookies this weekend. And on Saturday I only ate cookies all day. Talk about a balanced diet.

Trying to take a picture of an 8 year old, a 2 year old, and an 8 month old all together and have them looking at the camera is a big fail. We got one good picture out of about 150 but I call that a success.

It snowed so much this weekend. It started Friday and did not stop until Sunday morning and then continued to snow off and on.

I like an idiot traveled on Saturday. We had plans and I refused to just stay home so I picked up the kids and then we went to my mom's to do the cookie exchange. Driving home was a nightmare. What normally takes me 10 mins. took me 45 mins. It was crazy. That one day of traveling was enough and I cancelled our plans to go shopping on Sunday because the roads were still horrible

Grayson and I stayed in our pj's all day long on Sunday and I liked it that way. My poor husband had to work super long and did not get home until 5:30. He leaves our house at 4:00 in the morning so that is a long day. And he was out in the cold so we just relaxed and finished our shopping on-line.

Our week is busy and so is our weekend and we do not have a free night until after Christmas. Southern Comfort will be my best friends these next few weeks.

Have a happy Monday!!!

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...
