The Elf on the Shelf

I bought this little Elf years and years ago, before I ever had Fox, long before I was even pregnant. 
I couldn't wait until I could put this little guy to use. Last year, we introduced him for the first time, which is when Fox named him "Airplane the Elf". Since Fox was only 2.5 years old at the time, we only moved him around the house and he was excited to find him every morning. 
This year however, was a whole new ballgame, and December 1st couldn't come soon enough for me. 

Day 1
We started the tradition last year, that our Elf always brings Fox his Advent Calendar, he got a Lego one this year.

He was super excited to see him, although I think he was more stoked about the present and candies he brought with him.

Day 3

Day 4
Starting off Monday right.

This must have been Fox's favorite, he was cracking up and told everyone about it.

Day 13
I was kind of over this guy by then, because it took me like 15 minutes to position him.

Day 14

Day 15

Day 16


Day 17
Fox hated this one, totally stressed him out.

Day 18

Day 19

Day 20
He immediately informed me that the other driver is a Christmas ornament and put him right back on the tree.

Day 21

Day 22

Day 23

Day 24
By Day 24, I was more than happy for this little guy to go back to the North pole and stay there for the next year. 
Until next year, Airplane the Elf!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
