Gingerbread House Decorating Party

For years I wanted to decorate a Gingerbread house with Fox during the Christmas season. But truth to be told, Katie didn't allow it, because she was worried about his allergies, even though there are Gingerbread House kits out there that would be safe for him. And not to get off topic on this post, but one of the most freeing things about divorce was and is still to this day, to make my own fucking decisions. Hallelujah!
So obviously we needed to celebrate our first Gingerbread House Experience, so we invited some friends over to join in on the fun!

It was nothing but lovely and Fox had such an amazing time.

The kids were more interested in eating the candy, but that's okay. I'm pretty sure they were all on a sugar high, based on how they ran around the house.


Look at his poor face! After our Jingle Hike, he fell down one step, right into the dirt and busted his face up.

All of the finished houses!

And of course, he couldn't wait to try it.

I love my village. I know I keep saying it, but I will be forever grateful for them.
It was such a fun afternoon, my house was a wreck, but my heart was full!

    Our boys look like twins with their injuries! Will's scab finally fell off his nose, but his lip still looks pretty bad - poor little cuties! I love the idea of having a gingerbread house making party! So fun. :)

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...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
