Thanksgiving wrap up

It was a glorious 4 days off of work! I even snuck out an hour early on Wednesday so I could kiss on my chunky nugget called Grayson. He went for an overnight with Gigi so that the hubs and I could get in a date night. It was wonderful and simple and everything we needed. Dinner and a movie at home with ice cream and popcorn sign me up!

Thursday we really just relaxed had breakfast, started pulling out the christmas decorations, and then headed to my parents and scoop up our baby boy because we missed him like crazy ( We even talked about going to pick him up several times because we just love having him with us.)

I went out shopping. I got a ton of my Christmas shopping done. I got home at 1 in the morning and was up at 7 with baby G. He then started his new trick. Let's call it " I started real crawling and pulling myself up on everything". Thanks for being super mobile now and we will be baby gate shopping asap. We also had to lower the crib because G be crazy and was standing and yelling and I was having nightmares that he would just flip out of the crib.

My tree is up it just needs ornamnets, I have my one shelf decorated but I'm still not happy with it, and I just ordered our stockings so now I need stocking holders.

My Christmas cards are already in the mail and I have a full post to come on the Christmas card saga.

The long weekend was still too short and I begged Michael to be a stay at home mom today.

Happy Monday!

Turkey butt

I love him and his belly

Our family Thanksgiving picture (for the record that Turkey was made out of Grayson's hand)

I had the best view on Date night. I just love this man!

This is the Santa my Grandma made in 1989 and if you push the fluff ball on his hat it still plays music

He wants to be just like Daddy.

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...
