Exhausted send coffee and my sanity

This is me last night after spending 2 hours trying to get babies to bed and get everything ready for the next day

I'm exhausted. I crawled into bed and then woke up to cries from my little lady and she was up on and off for the next 3 hours until I finally fed her 4 ounces and got her to go back to sleep. It was a full moon last night and my kids all got the memo to drive me crazy. Extra dose of coffee for me today.

We had our trip just me and Michael and it was wonderful I slept so much and just relaxed and watched 2 movies straight through (that never happens with kids)

However getting back into the swing of things and last second wedding stuff for my sister (because it's one week away!!!) is just making our schedule crazy. We have no more free days until after the wedding. Saturday is the bachelor party, Sunday we are meeting to make the favors and do the table numbers, Monday I have to finish the seating chart and print it all out, Tuesday is our final dress fitting, Wednesday is the guys final fitting, Thursday is dress rehearsal, Friday is decorating the hall and nails and Saturday is the wedding. Busy busy busy.

Plus lets not forget the fact that next Thursday is the first day my sweet smallest nuggets go to daycare. I'm not nervous about them going because I love the two ladies in their room but I'm nervous about my house. My mother has been amazing and doing all my housework for me. Laundry, mopping, scrubbing the bathroom, dishes. I'm going to be lost without her. Plus I will miss the sweet pictures she would send me throughout the day. And I still have not figured out how I'm going to get all 3 kids ready in the morning and out the door to make it to work on time. We shall see how that goes.

I'm soaking up the last bits of summer. Trying to plan the babies baptism. And trying to keep my sanity.

Happy Friday!

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...
