Simply the Smith's

Along with most of  blog land I will be MIA for the rest of the week because I will be Stuffin my face Soaking up time with my family Having a date night with my husband Shopping for Christmas Decorating for Christmas Watching my nugget's eyes get big when the tree lights up for the first time. Stuffing and mailing out my Christmas cards (yes I already have them and my envelopes are addressed thanks to Minted . The link will get you $25.00 off of your order! and they print the addresses for you!) Next week I will share my Christmas card!!! I look at them everyday and always say awww and then my husband looks at my like I have 5 heads and just says women. I love the holiday's. They make my heart happy. I'm excited because it's our first year with Grayson and I'm so excited to start traditions with him. I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving and that if you are traveling that you make it there and back safe.

So I still didn't get the family pictures that we took from my dad because I suck like that. Friday- Michael called me at work and told me he had a surprise. I'm a brat and made him tell me on the phone. He switched his days off of work so now he would have Sunday off with us and have to work Tuesday. The first thing out of my mouth is "What will you be doing with Grayson while you are at work?" He of course didn't think of that so he called daycare they could take him and all was good. Then he told me I hurt his feelings because I didn't act excited. But I'm a planner and once we knew G's daycare was set I was over the moon! Having a day off with my boys is like gold to me since it hardly ever happens. So we went home on Friday and ate left overs and cuddled my perfect night. Saturday- I made my two pies (lemon meringue and chocolate) for our Thanksgiving bash on Sunday while Grayson was sleeping. Thank goodness he gives me 2 good hours. Michael c...

I will do a full weekend re-cap tomorrow. But I have to get pictures from my dad and today is one crazy day at work as in I have to what normally takes me 3 days in one day so yeah. Let's preface this by saying I'm a weirdo of epic proportions and that my husband is a saint for dealing with me. 1- If I get home and it's dark out. I run to the door and lock it behind me as fast as I can I always park super close to the door, unlock it first then hurry hurry hurry to get G out of his car seat and then I run into the house he smiles like it's a game but I'm crapping my pants. I have this strange fear that someone is waiting for me in the woods and is going to strong arm the door open personnap me and kidnap my child. 2- I could eat a whole chocolate cake by myself. Fun fact when I was pregnant I once at 2 whole cans of frosting in a weekend. I then shocked myself when I passed my gestational diabetes test with flying colors a week later. 3- I hear noises in t...

It's that time again to link up with Darci and the girls...... One Bath Mat I picked this up for Grayson the other day so that he could graduate from the baby tub. He loves the room and thinks it's fun to try and crawl in the tub. Two This website This website has all the black friday ads!!! I'm more of a need to see it in front of me in my hand kind of girl but I have still been checking them out! Three Soap One week from today (as dictated by the Christmas police aka my husband) this soap will be on all my sinks and the candles will be burning! Four Sweater I picked this up at Target for out updated family pictures for my parents family wall. We take them every other Thanksgiving and it's the first one that Grayson will be in! This sweater is light weight which is good beacuse it turns into a hot box at my parents house on holidays. Five In breaking news I made up with Jillian M...

Today I'm free ballin writing so it may get a little crazy because lets face it I'm crazy. So I think Grayson is having what most would classify as a sleep regression. I have read a few articles (like one really) and all signs point to baby boy have separation anxiety. Hello when did that happen? I mean this kid used to just fall asleep during his bottle and I could burp him while walking him upstairs lay him down and boom he was asleep for the night. Now for the past week he will fall asleep on you (while holding your bottom lip) but as soon as you lay him down he wakes up and cries. Pick him back up and he is asleep. Ugh I will be honest I cried in the hallway outside his door for a good 10 minuets last night. The ugly cry. I knew he was tired but he would not stay asleep. He was not hungry, he had a clean diaper, it was warm in his room, I just could not figure it out. I let him cry 10-15 minuets at a time and then would go in and give him a binky and pat him on the b...

Dear Grayson, Bubba you neeeeeed to stop growing. But on the other hand keep it up we can't wait to see who you will be. Your personality is really shinning through more and more. It's kind and goofy. And let me just say your amazing. You have this look you give when you first see daddy or mommy and my heart in a puddle on the floor. You make my heart grow bigger every day baby boy. Sleep has been good. There is a night every now and then that you think it's time to wake up at 12:15. We work through it and then your back on track. You sleep from 7:00 to 6:00-7:00. You still sleep with music on from your sleep CD and we are thinking about changing it up a little big to something other than the heart beat. Eating, well chubba wubba you love food. You eat a full stage 2 container of fruit and a full stage 2 container of a "dinner" every day. You get 2-8oz bottles and 1-6oz. bottle. You also get a yogurt and about 4oz. of water each day. Puffs are quickly becomin...
