What been going on

It's been a while since I have done a real update so here it goes.

Michael has the weekend off again and I'm starting to get used to him being around. He plays in a golf tournament on Saturday and then Sunday we are going canoeing. 

We are still chugging along on our yard work. We finally have the pool opened and cleaned now we just need it to warm up so we can start living in it. I personally love having a pool and I often hear that it is a ton of work to have one. Really for us it is about an hour a week that we spend maintaining it. It's worth it for all the happiness it brings.

We are hoping in the next week to get out vegetable garden planted. Michael is in the process of building me a raised garden box. I don't want to have to worry about weeds and so this is a win win.

The stumps are finally all ground and now we just have to clean up that mess. It's a work in progress but we get a ton done in the time that we do have.

Grayson is full on walking now. As in he just stands up and waddles to where ever he wants to go. I'm tempted to push him down but really it's kind of cool when he comes running over to me laughing.

I celebrated 27 years of being born. It was the best day with my husband and then I got to come home to my baby and really it was just perfect. I have ate like crap the past month but have surprisingly maintained my weight so I will call it a win.

Exercising has been non-existent but we recently bought Grayson one of those buggy things for the bike and are going to start going a few times a week. That is once we get all of our yard work done

Speaking of yard work. Michael got all into a few weekends ago with cutting down more trees on our hedge row and well he got poison ivy allll over him. It got so bad that he had to go the doctor to get a prescription. Poor guy. We are in the process of killing it all right now and getting rid of any that G could get to. Oh the joys of being a home owner.

I'm eyeballs deep in a bridal shower planning. I'm so excited but am finding that it is difficult to keep 5 other people involved in my every move since I'm the one doing mostly all of the leg work. It will all work out and I will do whatever I have to to make this the most amazing day for her.

My Mom is making some calls on other options for her surgery. I'm hoping that she can get the one that is done all in one day as opposed to the surgery that could have her going in as many times as it takes to get it out. We are praying and just spending time together.

I think that is it for now

Happy Thursday!

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...
