Easter 2018

Easter is usually pretty low key in our family. We always do an Easter Egg Hunt with Fox in the morning, he gets an Easter basket and we usually have dinner with the family at night.
This year, the Easter bunny brought Fox some superhero underwear, a new lego set, a Batman plate, some colored bath eggs, a PJ masks water bottle for school, PEZ candy, two hatchimal eggs, and some other small toys from the dollar spot at Target.

He was thrilled! The little ball he's holding contains a surprise stuffed animal and he's been collecting them for a few months. He calls them his buddies and they're all sleeping in his bed.

The Easter bunny was smart enough this year to hide the eggs in the front yard instead of the backyard, because our backyard is a mess right now.

He didn't want to carry his Easter basket around, so he just picked up as many eggs as he could and brought them back to his basket. 


Happy with his loot!

He pretty much lost interest in opening the eggs after 20 or so and we spent the next few days opening them.
Overall he loved it though. He told me the next day that he likes Easter better than Christmas and he wishes that it was Easter every day. 
I loved watching his joy and hearing his squeals so much! Holidays get me every single time, the moment I realize "Whoa, I get to do this with MY kid! I am a Mom!" It truly is the best and I'm enjoying every single minute of it until my kids tell me they're too old for this.

  1. The holidays are always when I have those "I love being a Mom" moments most. There is nothing better than creating magic for little ones. How funny is it that he quit caring after 20 or so eggs though? Haha!

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...

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...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
