Oh how things change

So this weekend was the perfect mixture of relaxing,fun, and getting things done.

Friday night I started laundry and cleaned up G's room. It was nice to just relax a little knowing I had no plans on Saturday to leave the house.

Saturday my sister came over and we got the menu set for Grayson' birthday party. My mom ordered his birthday crown and I have his shirt picked out just waiting to order because I want Michael to approve it.
Grayson had the best day. He slept for 2 hours in the morning and then 1.5 hours in the afternoon which is huge for him! I got so much done while he was sleeping and my laundry does not look like a bomb went off anymore. My nephew Brayden turned 3 so we had to send him a picture.



Sunday was B's birthday party. I had a ton to get done before we went and Grayson was an angel and slept for 2.5 hours. I got all of his things packed and myself showered. Everything was ready to go when he woke up and it was perfect and so much less stress. Since Michael had to work my mom and dad picked up G and I and Michael met us there. We made a quick trip to Kohl's first and I snagged Grayson some pj's because I went to put 9 month ones on him the other night and he looked like 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag. So it was time for more 12 month. I like to have enough to last at least 7 days so we now have 8 pairs which is perfect in my world. The party was a blast. We had so much food and B got a ton of cool gifts. Grayson was perfect. We are so lucky that we have a kid that just goes with the flow like him. We watched the first half of the super bowl at my brother's and then left at half time. It's so funny how things changes we used to stay there until midnight drinking beer and hanging out. Now we leave at half time because our babe is passed out. Oh the life of being a parent. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

This week and weekend are pretty free which I'm excited for a relaxing week to just start cleaning my house and getting rid of clutter.

Happy Monday!

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...
