The weekend

Grayson is feeling better. But now Michael is sick. He has an awful stomach bug and while I'm madly in love with my husband he is sometimes harder to take care of when he is sick than G is.


We had a super busy weekend and I flew solo all weekend.

My girl found her wedding dress!! She looks stunning and so beautiful. We also picked out our bridesmaid dresses which are so cute and comfortable.

Saturday night I had to go to our annual remembrance dinner for my Grandpa without Michael since he was so sick. My Grandpa passed away 4 years ago on May 3rd. The night he passed none of us had dinner so we all went to a local dive bar that has the best chicken wings for dinner. We ordered a 7&7 (my grandpa's drink of choice) and sat it in the middle of the table until we were ready to leave and then we all passed it around and took a drink out of it. We still go back the same day every year and have a drink with my Papa.

When I got home from that dinner Michael was on his death bed. I called him into work and he was up off and on all night. When he woke up Sunday he wasn't any better so I knew I would be going to the First Communion solo. I decided to skip the church part because it was smack dab in the middle of nuggets nap. Of course his radar went off and he refused to sleep. So we just headed to the party. It was really nice and my baby girl was beautiful. I'm so proud of her.

This week is super busy and packed full. Thursday I have Libby's play (Willy Wonka) Saturday is my brothers fundraiser and Sunday is Mother's day!!! I'm ready for a night to just be and I may be asking Michael for one once he feels better.

I just have to give a shout out to all the single mother's out there because I just don't even know how you do it. I had to be a semi-single Mom for a few days and it has drained me.

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...
