My Groundhogs Day

When I first saw Andrea's list of Show and Tell Tuesday's I thought about skipping this one. How could I chose one day?!?!?!? I have so many amazing ones that I have been blessed with. And then I remembered a day not too far back that was perfect.

So here is a breakdown of my Groundhogs day.

Michael would be home with us and we would all cuddle in bed together while we wake up in the morning

Then we would all eat breakfast as a family something fun like pancakes or Cinnamon rolls and lots of coffee.

We would play and play and play and maybe make a trip to the grocery store for dinner that night. On a whim we would buy something fun like make your own pizza's

We would come home and have lunch and then nap. Michael and I would watch a movie while the little napped and just enjoy quiet time together.

Then we would cook as a family in the kitchen. We would laugh, there would be tons of baby giggles and lots of hugs.

We would eat and have baths. Then we would cuddle on the couch and snuggle as a family.

My day is simple, my day might even be boring to some but for me it's the best thing in the world. I love the days when we are home together even if we are snowed in and doing laundry or organizing a room. If I have my boys with me I'm complete.

I know I didn't pick my wedding day sure it was an amazing day and I would not trade it for anything but I love Michael more now, I'm closer to him now so choosing that day would be a step backwards.

And no I didn't pick the day Grayson was born. Again amazing and life changing and full of love. But I love him more now, we are best friends, he is my sidekick.

Right now in these simple moments between working, tantrums, to-do lists, and just surviving my favorite memories are being made and I will thank God every single night for the simple moments he blesses me with.

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...
