Finn's Third Birthday

And just like that, my baby is three! While the last three years flew by, so much has happened and it's hard for me to remember a time when our family looked different.

Fox and I decorated the house after Finn went to bed.

My big THREE year old!

We opened some presents and he was so excited about everything he got.

Fox may have been excited about this marble run (that I scored on Facebook marketplace) as well.

A few months ago Katie told me that she had talked to Finn about his birthday party and that he wanted a poop party. Which was kind of funny, but also not very surprising, because Fox and him love to talk about poop and farts. Is this a boy thing?

And whatever you want on your birthday, you get...so a poop party it was! I made all of us, including Katie and Christina, shirts, that said Party Pooper and then our name.

Finn loved the shirts, but it took quite some convincing to get Fox to wear the shirt. I told him that I would really appreciate if he wore it for Finn's party, but that he wouldn't have to wear party shirts in the future, if he decided not to. I love matching family shirts, but I knew my time to get away with this, was going to be limited.

We held his party at the Little Gym, the same place we also held Fox's 4th birthday party.

We only invited a few friends that Finn knew from playdates, plus their siblings. A lot of our friends weren't able to come because they were out of town, but I'm glad we kept it kind of small because Finn gets really shy when there are too many people around, and I could quickly tell that he didn't like being the center of attention.

Grandma and Great- Grandma

Aunt Ashlie and Cousin Beckett!

Fox was very happy to have his bestie join as well.

After cupcakes, he immediately asked to go home. I think he had fun, but he reminded me a lot of Fox during his second birthday party, just being really overwhelmed with the amount of people and being the center of attention.

We went home, opened his presents, and Katie, Christina, and Ashlie and her family joined us for a few hours.

This was his favorite present, kinetic sand from my friend Tiffany.

Happy Birthday sweet boy!

He's already telling me that his birthday is coming up soon and he will be four! Slow down buddy, Mama is not ready!

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...

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.

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...
