~Friday Favorites~

It's Friday and I could not be more excited!

Linking up with Andrea today for some Friday Favorites!

ONE

It's party weekend! I can't wait to celebrate with family my nugget turning two!

TWO

We recently got a Super Walmart in the town that I work in ( I know! I live in the boonies so this is a big deal and we had a Walmart just not a Super one) anyway I started grocery shopping there because I like to save money anyway I can and they have this awesome thing called Savings Catcher. If you don't do it you should. All you have to do it enter your receipt # with in 7 days and then it searches other stores in your area for deals for 72 hours. If there is a lower price out there they give you the difference! I got .60 back this week. Trust me it will add up quick! My SIL already got back $25.00 in 2 months for doing nothing!

We had the best day yesterday celebrating Grayson's birthday. I love saving his real birthday for just us and my parents. It's nice and relaxed. We are "macncheese" for dinner and had "chocate cake" for dessert. My Sweet boy

I bought G this table for his birthday for multiple reasons

#1 being safety because he loves to color and has been known to climb up and reach for things on our big table and I'm afraid he is going to kick the chair out from underneath him and fall

#2 now the kids have a table to eat at when they are at my house for the party on Sunday

#3 It's Mickey Mouse which he loves and it fits our party theme

That my friends is a win, win, win. Plus it was the first thing he talked about when he woke up!

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...
