Making cookies with Grandma

I had finals week in December, and had to take certain exams on specific days, and unfortunately they fell on the days I had my boys. While I could've taken them late at night when they were sleeping, I also knew that I would be tired and my concentration wouldn't be great, so I asked Grandma if she could watch them for a little bit while I took the exams online. She suggested to meet at her mom's house, so they could all make cookies together and the boys were all about it.

It was so cute, they had everything prepared when we got there, Christmas music was playing, and I really wished that I could partake on the festivities instead of having to take my exams.

I ended up taking them in the back room and came out in between tests to snap some pictures.

Check out all of these cookies. They made me take all of them home, but funny enough, while the boys really enjoyed decorating them and eating a couple, they didn't want anything to do with them once we took them home.

I really love that they organized this special time for them and I think they had just as much fun as the boys did.

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...

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...
