Elf on the Shelf - 2020 Edition

Have you seen the pictures of all of these "quarantined elves" on social media? I can't say that I was even slightly tempted to quarantine our elf, because it's almost as fun for me as it is for the kids. At least for the first week or so...then it kind of gets old. I'm sure some of you can relate. 
Here are some pictures of our elf adventures, we always start out on December 1st, but since Katie had the boys some of the weekends, our elf got a much needed break sometimes. 





Sorry Finn!





Finn was very good about not touching the elf. I'm not sure if it was because he truly understood that this was the rule, or because the elf intimidated him a little. 






I thought he would either love this and talk about it for years to come, or Airplane the elf might have to go home to the North Pole a few days early because it was going to scare the crap out of him. What I didn't expect was that Finn would get out of bed without me knowing, walked into the living room and came running back to me, totally terrified. I had no idea what he was talking about at first and felt so bad that it scared him so badly. Fox on the other hand was not impressed. 

And that's a wrap!

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 ...
