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 2

Day 3

Day 4
Starting off Monday right.

Day 5

Day 7
This must have been Fox's favorite, he was cracking up and told everyone about it.

Day 12
Nobody understood what he was doing here...do you?

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!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...
