My Once Upon a Time...

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...

Oh my heart...looking back at these pictures are giving me all the happy feels. We started our annual girl's trip for my 40th birthday, and have been going strong ever since. I had been in a very dark place emotionally for the past few months, and honestly didn't even feel like going anymore, didn't want to be around people, and just stay in the dark hole I had buried myself in. I figured, if anything, it will give me a chance to relax, read my book, and I knew no one would even blink an eye, if I needed alone time during the trip, but I couldn't have been more wrong about the weekend that was about to unfold. I hardly drink, maybe five times a year at most, but my dear friend Becky and I started the weekend with some drinks on the beautiful patio of the home we had rented in Prescott, Arizona. She is my ride or die, and I'm so grateful for her. It was a smaller group than usual, and while I initially was a little worried about it, it ended up being the perfect grou...

I worked on Easter Sunday, but the boys and I had fun celebrating the weekend after, and it ended up being a perfect day with them. We started out by them looking for their hidden baskets, and exploring them, followed by the egg hunt. I couldn't believe how fast Finn has gotten over the years, check out his basket! I used to have to remind Fox to give Finn a chance, but maybe the roles have reversed now! I filled most of the eggs with little ducks, money and some chocolate, and Finn absolutely LOVED the ducks, since he has been collecting them for a while. Fox was so sweet to share a lot of his ducks with Finn, he seriously has the kindest soul. They both told me how much fun they had, and how much they appreciated me doing this for them, when in reality, I am so incredibly grateful for them and that they still enjoy doing these things every year.
