February iPhone dump

February came and went in a flash!

Finn and I spent a lot of time outside in the yard, enjoying the beautiful weather. On this day, he helped me spray paint his Valentine's box, which then led to spray painting flower pots, rocks, and leaves.

He worked on this picture for a very long time, and I loved it so much, I asked if I could frame it. He told me no, that he already promised it to his friend at school...haha.

I remember when Fox was his age, he loved going up on the flat part of the roof, and this guy was the same way. We had some balls up there, that he got down for us, and he thought he was so cool.

Katie and I split the kids up one night, because they both asked for more "one on one time", and Finn and I had a late night ice cream date.

He's been really into drawing and reading before bedtime.

We saw the new Dogman movie in the theater and they both loved it.

Fox had a dodgeball tournament at school that I was able to attend. This is one of his best friends at school.

Dinner with him is never boring!

I found some crayola washable spray paints at Goodwill that I got for the boys. They're supposed to wash off in the rain, but so far no luck. I kind of love have a permanent reminder of their childhood on my back wall though.

We went to a local trampoline place and took one of Fox's friends with us. It's hard to get pictures of Fox these days, but Finn still tolerates it (for now).

Indoor mini golfing!

Another one on one date with Finn, this time he chose to go to Dave and Busters.

We had some tickets for Ninja nation, and Fox took another friend, so I got to hang out with this little monkey.

"Snackie plates" are his favorite.

And just like that, it's almost summer!

April phone dump

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...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods. My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
