Catching up!

It's been crazy around here lately. Between a hectic work schedule and the start of some sort of head cold I'm getting I have had zero time to blog. Since work is a little bit calmer today and the head cold has yet to be full blown I'm going to try and fit in our weekend re-cap (on a Thursday) and list a few small goals for this month.


Friday was any normal day then to pick up Grayson then get a pizza for dinner and just hang out. We color a ton Friday nights and we also hang out in his rocket ship tent.

Saturday- It was the day Libby was coming to spend the night and hang out with us. These to played all night long. Running, coloring, baby dolls, trucks, in the tent out of the tent. I was tired just watching them. When Libby comes to spend the night with me we always sleep on the pull out couch together. I paid for it the next day it was so uncomfortable, but she had a great time we played MASH which at first I was like how do you know MASH? Your like 3 but then I remembered she was 9 so we played and she giggled the whole time.

Sunday- We woke up and hung out on the pull out couch watching Mickey and eating a snack. Then I fed the hyena's breakfast (donuts that Libby and Gigi picked out). Here is the supper awesome thing about Libby being there. She is 9 so she can supervise Grayson while I'm in the shower. I got to shower and get ready before Church and they watched a show and had a snack. Then we headed to Church and it was a great service. One that spoke to my heart in such a profound way.

Once we got home it was time for lunch and naps. Libby "rested" for a while then her and I made soft pretzel bites. They were amazing!!! A little time consuming but with 2 sets of hand we got it done. Plus we made a nacho cheese sauce and guys I will never buy the store bought stuff again it was that easy and that good.

We headed to my brothers for B's 4th birthday party and to watch the super bowl. It was fun and crazy and loud. The boys played great together and took a bath together. At half time we headed home and watched the rest of the game in our comfy clothes.

It was a wonderful fun weekend.

Now onto my goals

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
