Weekend Wrap up-I only wish it was longer

Friday afternoon my doll of a husband brought me and iced coffee at work. It was just what I needed because I was struggling to even finish out the day!

He ran up and bought a new rug for our living room. Back in March we swapped our rooms around we moved the living room into the dining room and so we needed a new rug. The now living room is much bigger and our little 5x7 rug just was not cutting it. However 8x10 rugs are mucho doll hairs and so I waited to find a good deal on one. Well last weekend when we were at BJ's (our wholesale club) I saw one that was on major sale and so he went up to get it (I couldn't fit it in my truck with Grayson in there). We got it home and I love it! It makes the room feel more complete and homey!

He also picked up some beer and chicken fingers after that yum! My sister called asked to get Grayson to go to the park for a little bit with the cousins and so I of course said yes![

Michael and I took the chance to hop on the 4wheeler and check out the back of our property. It was a nice ride. The kids came back and I gave the boys a bath before Lib and B headed to the movies with my sister.

Saturday morning Grayson and I were super busy. We cleaned the car out, did some laundry, made cookies and played in our water table.

Then after nap we headed to Gigi and Papa's house for a cookout and more swimming with cousins. S'mores and fire later we headed home and Grayson stayed for a sleepover.

We hopped on the 4 wheeler again when we got home for a quick lap around and then came in and relaxed before bed.

Sunday it was church and some final moments of playing the with kids before they headed home. We came home for nap and then some more swimming!

This is what summer is all about lots of outside time and pool time!

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...
