August iPhone Dump

Let's see what we did in August...although without looking at the pictures, I assume it involved a lot of staying home and avoiding the heat.
Finn is my cuddler and I'm loving it. Fox has never been like this, so I'm soaking it in whenever I can, because I know my days are numbered.


This reminded me of his baby days, sleeping with his butt up in the air.

As I mentioned before, we finished up our monthly photo shoots with our photographer. I love every single picture and wish I could've done this when Fox was little. 


"Free write Friday"...his teacher told him he could write about anything he wanted and this is what he wrote: Finn drives me crazy! 
I was laughing so hard when I saw this, but I know he loves his brother fiercely as well.

One day, I made the boys all kinds of food for lunch. Mac and Cheese, hot dogs, carrots and pretzels with hummus, cheese and a grilled cheese that's not pictured. Finn was so upset, because all he wanted was pancakes. He's been asking me to make pancakes almost daily, but I only make them in the morning. Feeding them (and myself) is my least favorite thing...anyone else?

I have a love/hate relationship about them sleeping with me. I don't get a great sleep because someone always needs to touch me or kicks me or uses me as a pillow. But on the other hand I know that they are only little once and one day they won't want to sleep with me anymore. I get some rest when they're with Katie, so for now, I'm allowing it, no matter what other people think about it. The days (or nights in this case) are long, but the years are short. 

The boys' favorite Friday tradition (when I have them): going to In n Out for dinner.

He stole my heart!

When we went to the Great Wolf Lodge, Fox saw a girl who wore these pajamas. He immediately said that he wanted them too, I think mostly because they looked comfy and are green, since he doesn't know what Minecraft is. It's still a little too hot here to wear them, but we are getting there. He is just like me, if he could, he would stay in pajamas 24/7.

This smart boy here has figured out how to push the step stool to the fridge, climb up and open it to get his own snacks. I'm not even kidding, this kid is constantly eating and Katie and I joke about it all the time. Fox is a very picky eater and always has been, so I'm glad Finn likes to venture out a little bit and try different things. 

Another day of distance learning.

This was PE, he had a lot of fun building this tower and continued to do so during his lunch break. 


He wanted me to spike up his hair and was very proud.

Of course Finn wanted to get in on the action as well.


We made cookies one day and the boys were excited to make them, but no one ate them in the end. Maybe I'm not a good baker, although I thought they were pretty good.

Finn always has to touch me in some way, he's so cute. I hope he will continue to be my snuggle bug for a while.

After 2 years, my picture wall in the hallway is finally finished and I'm obsessed! 


Working hard...in his pajamas of course.

I don't remember what was going on here, but he sure is cute.


Fox's best friend that he's known since he's three came over for a playdate. Fox could not wait and told me he would wait by the door and waited there for at least 20 minutes. I love their little friendship and how much they love each other. Fox told me that he will marry Dylan one day.

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...
