November iPhone dump

Another month has passed and I'm falling more and more behind on this blog, but determined to catch up one day. School has been crazy for me, I still love it, but it certainly keeps me very busy.

This was our November!

Finn loves to do all sorts of arts and crafts, and made us approximately 735 Christmas ornaments this year.

In this house, we celebrate half birthdays!

Friendsgiving: Lots of love, lots of good food, lots of laughs, and a whole lot to be thankful for!

Illumination…I admit, I watched their faces more than I watched the actual light show!

Never too early to start on Easter decorations, right?

A lot of my kid free nights were spent like this...cozy in bed, doing school work, and watching some kind of trashy reality show.

I remember the days watching Fox’s preschool class doing sing-along performances and smiling ear to ear because it made me so happy. Those days are long gone, but how lucky am I that I get to do it all over again with Finn now?

He was very serious during the entire performance, and didn't sing along with his classmates.

Playdate with his buddy at our house.

Dinner and drinks with a new friend.

Thanksgiving at Ashlie's house with the entire Jones family. Finn was really into basting the turkey, and worked on it for 15 minutes straight.

He asked me to take his picture, how can I say no to this face?

Decorating our annual gingerbread house!

Every once in a while they will play nicely together.

The kids went ornament shopping with Katie, and brought this one back for me, claiming it looked like an artichoke which is my school mascot. I thought it was so funny, but thoughtful. Also, who came up with having an artichoke for a mascot?!?

Naps don't happen very often anymore, but when they do, it's always in the car.

We rode scooters (and the crazy cart for Fox) at a nearby golf course.

After 8.5 years, Fox was finally willing to learn to ride a bike. He got the hang of it pretty quickly and I loved seeing his confidence, and how proud he was of himself.

Until next month!

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...

We took some family pictures this fall!

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 ...
