Easter and things

The weekends are never long enough. Unfortunately I didn't win the lottery or find a crap ton of money so I'm back at work today.


Friday when I got out of work I ran some errands and grabbed the last minute things I needed for Easter Sunday. I picked up dinner for my whole family, picked up Michael and we headed down to my parents house. I was so excited to see G. I missed having him with me in the morning since he spent the night at my parents house. We ate dinner and then we did Easter baskets. My mom still hides eggs for all of us and does an Easter basket. Once that was done we dyed eggs. It was nice to have a low key Easter celebration with my parents


Saturday I had to run G to the doctors. He was having some issues but they are all cleared up now and all is good. Then around 3:30 Chris called and said his sister was in town and wanted to know if we all wanted to get together for dinner. We headed to the DRI which is supper awesome bar/restaurant. We got so many compliments on how good our sweet boy was. He just sat in his highchair and ate and played. The food was awesome and it was soo good to catch up with Kimberly. We only get to see her a few times a year so we always make time when she comes home.


Sunday we had a busy day. I had to make a cheesecake and put together G's basket plus my house was a mess. Grayson took a two hour morning nap so that helped. I got all my little things done plus got to shower. Then we headed to my aunt's house which is around the corner for an egg hunt and dinner. G was so cute in his Easter outfit and picking up eggs. My Aunt has a really cool tradition where she hides silver dollars in the eggs. She gives each of the kids a glass piggy bank to hold all of the silver dollars. Since it was G's first year to participate in the hunt he got his piggy bank and his first 10 silver dollars. I'm so excited to collect these for him every year.

After dinner we were exhausted we came home and did baskets for the 3 of us and then just relaxed.


It was such a wonderful weekend and I'm so happy that I have the amazing family that I do.

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...
