Weekend Wrap Up- It was a good one

Friday after work I ran and got Grayson so that we could run a few errands and then head out to Dennis and Marie's house.

"running in the store quick" yeah that does not happen with a 2 year old, but he was so so good. We grabbed our party supplies and headed for baby doughnut Friday. Stopped off quick to grab his 3 wheeler and throw the cold stuff in the cooler and then we were off to Dennis and Marie's.

We got there and the guys had just finished a lap of racing so we chatted for a little bit got out G's power wheels let him take a few laps before the big boys got back on the bikes and then Grayson started picking up sticks in the yard. Something he learned from my father. He got hot wanted to swim in their kiddie pool that is meant for their dog but we let him go at it anyway. First with just his diaper and then that got filled up with water and he wanted it off so he went skinny dipping. #redneckswimming.

We left there around 7:40 got home for bath and bed for Grayson and we were not far behind him.

Saturday we got up early and watched some Barney and man that dinosaur is not my favorite but I will take it over a non education show. We made rice krispie treats that were a major fail because I didn't use butter. I only had margine and noticed after I made them that it said to only use butter. Ooops! we ate some anyway and then threw the rest out.

My sister called and asked to take Grayson to the park and farmer's market for a few hours. I agreed and while they were gone I mopped all my floors and cleaned Grayson's room. They brought me home zucchini and tomatoes and I made 2 loaves of zucchini bread and we had zucchini lasagna for dinner with venison sausage. It was so easy and super healthy. While I made dinner the boys swam and then we played outside for a little bit after dinner

Sunday Mom and I went to 8:30 service out at Smith's pond. There is something about worship outside in the early morning. It was beautiful. Grayson and I headed back home and stopped at a veggie stand after for sweet corn, peaches, and green beans. Then we got in some playing outside and naps for everyone. Mama was tired.

We headed to my parents house after for dinner and swimming and some poppers. Notice the bow on his head. He wanted to be a present, love that imagination. It was bed once we got home and then ice cream night for mommy and daddy.

Now it's back to work and counting down the time to being able to be home with my boys playing outside.

Happy Monday!

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 ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
