Easter

So yea...the 4th of July has passed and here I am, still talking about Easter. My life has been insanely busy these last few months, which is the reason I'm so behind on this blog. I have the kids about 90% of the time, I'm busy with my business and to top it off, I decided to sign up for two summer classes, which is an accelerated program, so I'm trying to do the work of 16 weeks in 8...yikes! I don't know if life will get any less crazy for me in the next few years, but I'm determined to catch up on here, because I love to capture our memories and I don't want to forget a single detail.
The boys' Easter baskets...what's not shown in the water table I got for Finn, which he still loves.

This picture cracks me up...he is clearly excited that the Easter bunny came. I don't even know why he was crying, but he was okay once Fox showed him all the cool stuff he got.

I got Fox this little video game console. We don't have any video games in the house, so this was a first. It was only $20 (amazon) and has all those old school gameboy games on it (like Super Mario Bros. and Tetris). I was really excited to play with it too, but Fox wanted to bring it to Katie's house one weekend and what do you know...it's been missing ever since. He's asking me to buy him a new one, but that's not going to happen. Sorry buddy!

After the boys checked out their baskets, we did an Easter egg hunt in the yard.


This was Finn's first egg hunt and he did great!



I sent this picture to my mom, because I thought it was cute and she commented how sad she feels for Finn, because Fox got all the eggs and Finn hardly got any. Luckily he is not at the age yet where he cares and I made sure that Fox shared some of his eggs with him afterwards.


This is the face of a kid who loves to eat candy!

He also got a bubble machine from the Easter bunny. Is it just me or do these things break within a few days?

It's still weird to me to see him with missing teeth.

That afternoon we went to Katie's moms house.

She set up an Easter egg hunt for the boys as well (with $1 bills in them), but this time we divided the yard and they each only got to collect eggs in their area.

Waiting patiently for his turn.

I counted the eggs before I hid them and after everything was said and done, we were still missing one egg.

That was my sad attempt to get a cute easter picture of them. Exactly the reason why I have so many professional pictures taken.

It was a great day and I was so happy that I got to spend the holiday with them and also with family this year!

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...

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...
