Making Christmas Memories

We had a fun Christmas/Busy weekend this weekend.


Friday- I grabbed Grayson from school, got baby donuts and then went and grabbed Lib and B so that they could all go to a movie at the library with Aunt Halli. I picked them (love having the van that they can all fit in!) dropped off some mail at the Post Office and then we headed to pick up Michael and make our way to Aunt Halli's work. We dropped off the kiddos and then headed to get fingers and fries from Ed's ( a local dive bar with the best finger/wing sauce ever) we went home and ate way to much and just relaxed. Grayson spent the night at GiGi's house after the movie so I got some good solid sleep.



Saturday- My Mom clock had be up at 6:30. It seems that I can't sleep past 7 anymore so I just got up and got to work on laundry. I changed all the sheets on the beds and washed all the clothes and put them away! That is a huge thing for me because sometimes we live out of baskets for weeks days before I put them away. Grayson came home and then Michael and then we got to work on building Grayson's dresser for his room. We took a break for dinner and then finished up the frame before calling it a night.


Sunday- I decided to have a fun day with Grayson. We make an Olaf cookie and I forgot to take a picture before we dug into it ha! But this is the pan I used
 Product Details
and I got it at Bon-Ton for $3.00 so it was for sure worth it. But I linked to it on Amazon here

Then we had nap and watched our Bills lose again, just heartbreaking. After dinner we finished the dresser and got all this clothes put away and organized then we decorated our Gingerbread house. I bought this one and it comes already put together which I loved and we just had to decorate.


His favorite part:having Daddy squeeze frosting in his mouth.


We did baths and bedtime and then Michael and I watched the 30 for 30 on ESPN about our Bills and the Four Falls. Ahhh so close but never got here for the big Superbowl win. But the only franchise to go 4 times in a row. Now our city says just one before I die and that is what we are all hoping for. Tim Russert (who was born in Buffalo) said in the film being a Bills fan is a way of life and you can only understand that if your from here and it's true we live for our Bills through it all, even the wide right.


Now we have a busy week coming up. Grayson has his school party, and we have Christmas with my brother on Saturday and our cookie baking on Sunday. Here's hoping my pregnant body keeps going strong just until the New Year!

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...
