What's up Wednesday err Thursday

What are we eating

Grilled everything. Hot dogs, chicken, steak, corn. Just grilled everything. It's easy clean up.

What I'm remincsing about

Our anniversary trip to Toronto last year. This year we are doing a staycation because a) time and b) time. But I loved exploring that city with my honey.

At the CN Tower I think we were on the observation deck

What I'm loving

My essential oils. I just bought a kit so stay tuned I'm working on a post how we are putting these to good use.

What we've been up to

Swimming and taking care of babies. Oh Grayson went to the Star Wars night at the baseball park with my parents and had a blast but still won't go near a single character. Disney is not in our future anytime soon

What I'm dreading

My mom going back to school. That means that I'm solo getting 3 kids ready for daycare to leave the house before 6:15. Ahhhh

What I'm working on

My oils post and getting my family of 5 (!!!! it's still weird saying that) as organized as possible for my sisters wedding. I have a bin that I have been putting everything in that I need.

What I'm excited about

The wedding and our anniversary trip. Michael and I have not had time to ourselves since I got pregnant. Sure my mom would take Grayson on the weekends sometimes but let's face it I was huge so we stayed home and did nothing. I'm excited to have 2 nights alone just us away from the house.

What I'm watching/reading

Watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It's on netflix, it's hilarious, I'm addicted. I'm reading my oil books.

I'm listening to

H.O.L.Y by FLG because Grayson loves it. He calls it his I love you song.

What I'm wearing

Skiping this. I'm in that akwards non maternity/maternity clothes state. But my body is changing everyday and I refuse to buy clothes in every size so I look awful most days.

What I'm doing this weekend

Celebrating my Aunt's birthday at the lake and kissing my babies

What I'm looking forward to next month

Again wedding, anniversary trip, and a pedicure!

What else is new

The babies are growing, Grayson is the best big brother ever and we are just living life

Favorite part about summer

Having the babies here we love them so much and going swimming with Grayson after school most days. I love that time just him and I!

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...
