Friday Favorites!!

We have an insanely busy weekend.

My first favorite is celebrating Birthday's!
Today we are celebrating my father-in-laws 60th birthday.

He chose to have a dinner at home so I let him pick the menu and it is as follows

French onion soup ( I make it from scratch and he loves it!)

Filet Mignon
Mashed Potatoes
Asparagus


White on white cake.

Pretty simple and all of our favorite things too!

My second favorite is projects with Grayson

He loves crafts and so with the holiday season I'm trying to make something with him for him to handout to our family. Tomorrow we are getting up early making cinnamon butter and hand print turkeys to handout to family over the next week!


My third favorite is Thanksgiving prep

Since I can remember the day before Thanksgiving is a holiday in and of itself in my family. We get together make the stuffing, stuff the bird, make the coleslaw, peel potatoes and get all of our prep done the day before. Then we have pizza for dinner and play cards. I just love the day before and since we celebrate Thanksgiving the Sunday before with my brother tomorrow is that day!


My fourth favorite is Thanksgiving!

I love the fresh turkey, the hustle and bustle of having a house full of family and the food coma that follows and then when you think you could burst you shove some more pie in there. It's the best.


And my fifth and final but my most favorite favorite is this guy


He had school pictures yesterday and they turned out wonderful here is the one I took of him before we headed out and he had to have his hair spiked like daddy. Sigh he is just my whole heart




Happy weekend!

Linking up with Andrea!

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 ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
