TGIF

It's Friday and I'm more than ready for the weekend.

Somehow short weeks seem to take longer? Is it just me?


Anyway this weekend we have no plans!!! I'm hoping to finish up my crafts for the bridal shower that as of Sunday is 2 weeks away!

I'm only starting to sweat a little bit.


We booked this cute little coffee shop that has a back room that is attached to the outdoor patio it is really cute there. Well they just opened a bar there which is cool and offer packages for mimosa's and things like that. I called about the mimosa package it's $5.00 a person!! Keep in mind we have 40 people coming. Not one person has RSVP'd no and so I have to plan on every person drinking that is $200.00 just for drinks. So I then asked if just the champagne would be cheaper he said yes and gave me a quote for 7 bottles it was $27 a bottle and that comes to $189.00 um not that much cheaper buddy. Thanks but no thanks we will bring in our own. I sent him an e-mail stating that and I'm just hoping he doesn't tell me I have to buy through them now that they have a bar. Ugh!

We decided to to treats and sweets for the food. So we have a bunch of dips and appetizers and then a ton of desserts. It was just easier to do it that way because doing a full on lunch or meal was just too much and we are on a fixed budget. Which leads me to the day before the shower will be crazy. I'm taking half a day on Friday so that I can go food shopping. Then on Saturday I have to run around and pick up the rest of the desserts and flowers so I can make the center pieces. I'm doing as much of it myself so that I don't have to pay someone else to do it. So Saturday Grayson and I are going to talk to the florist and the dessert shop and get the final things ordered.


Somehow this turned into a shower post but oh well that is all I have been doing lately. But I'm going to try and put it aside and focus on time with my little family. 

Next week I hope to do a Grayson update and a house update because we really have gotten a ton done around the house.

Happy Friday and I hope everyone has a good weekend!

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

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
