Friday Favorites

Before we get to the fun stuff I just want to say that this day is such a huge day for our country.

I didn't participate in Andrea's post about 9/11 but I was in my 9th grade earth science class when another teacher came running in with a TV cart and turning it on. We sat and watched the second tower get hit and I remember feeling like it was a movie. It didn't seem real. The rest of the day we were either in a classroom with cable or the gym. A teacher at our school had a daughter that worked in the Towers and she was a mess it took her 2 hours to get a hold of her and she was thankfully home. Her boss had cancelled her morning meeting so she wasn't going into work until later. A perfect example of God at work. 
I left school to go to my physical therapy appointment and sat on the mat and watched it play over and over again. I remember praying so hard that it was a dream. It for sure changed my world (as it did every one's) that day. I mean I watched on TV as people jumped out of buildings and I just remember thinking how will we ever recover from this? How could this happen? I do know that this county is an amazing one in the fact that hundreds of thousands of people went into those buildings to save people and risked everything they had to do so. 
9/11 we will never forget.


Ok now FUN stuff!!!

Linking up with Andrea



One

Michael had Sunday off after my Gram's 90th birthday party and so we relaxed and all took naps and then after nap I snagged one of my favorite pictures ever. A little father son jam session

Plus this one he had to wear is hat just like daddy!



Two
Grayson it potty trained! I have a whole post on what worked for us but this week we got him his fish that he named Blaze. Blaze is for sure a new favorite at our house this week



Three
Mix and Match Mama does it again with a simple yummy recipe. Okay so this one comes on a little of a sad note. One of my sweetest friends was in a horrific accident on Wednesday. It's a miracle that she only sustained the injuries she has but still those are pretty severe (broken vertebrae and ribs) so I needed a quick something pumpkin to bring her since pumpkin is her favorite. Well 3 ingredients and I was done with a treat for her! I linked to the one on her website but she posted it on Instagram too but used a chocolate cake mix instead so that's what I went with and I also added a little Cinnamon to give it some extra flavor!
This picture is from her site

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
