Our Christmas

Christmas was a little different this year. Katie's mom, who usually hosts Christmas Eve, moved to California last summer, and Katie's brothers were out of town as well, so we just had a small family dinner with Katie's other family.
And apparently this is the only picture I took all night...haha.

When we got home, we got some milk and cookies ready for Santa (vegan cookies of course) and Fox was really into it this year.

We sprinkled some reindeer food outside, read the Night before Christmas and both boys were fast asleep within minutes.

Airplane the Elf made sure to say goodbye to Fox before he flew off to the North Pole for another year.

Fox asked Santa for a guitar and microphone and Santa delivered.

He was so excited!

For weeks, he told us that he wanted this Polly Pocket toy that he had seen on a commercial. He would not stop talking about it, so we got it for him. He played with it for 20 minutes and it's been sitting untouched in the playroom ever since. Go figure. Last year, he really wanted a Paw Patrol lookout tower, which he didn't play with at all after Christmas, so I sold it. The minute it was gone, he kept asking for it again and even wanted to put it on his wish list this year. Is that just my kid or do other kids do this kind of stuff too?

I love this picture, just me and my best boys.

Around 10am, Katie's family came over and we all had breakfast together.


Oh to be a kid again on Christmas morning!

See Ashlie posing in the background because she thought she was in my picture...ha!


After lunch everyone left and the rest of the day was spent playing with Fox's new toys! I think he had a great day!

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...

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.
