March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March!
Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date!

This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big?

Family game night outside!

My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha!

I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse. 

Fox brought this home from school one day and asked me if it was correct. He even recited the blood flow through the heart for me, and it gave me major PTSD from my nursing school days haha. 

We got our pool cleaned and refilled and the boys loved playing in the empty space. 


Julia and I met in 2001 while we were both Au Pairs in Rhode Island. And here we are, almost 25 years later and living in the same state again! It was so good to see her and her family.


The boys and I had a special "yes day" in March. We started it off with breakfast at one of our favorite brunch places, and a toy store visit. 

Followed by exploring a new play place with one of Fox's friends. 


I took the boys to see a movie afterwards, and then we went to the playground!

The night ended with dinner out, and it was just the very best day!


He said he found a piece of fat...haha!

Childhood innocence, digging holes in the backyard and filling them with water.

Two of my friends came over with their kids and we all had dinner together and the kids played until bedtime. It was so fun!

My friend Allison from Michigan was in town with her niece, and we took the kids to the playground together. They had met a long time ago, but all got along very well.

Another beautiful day with my two favorite guys, this time at the Zoo!


They had a cave with a splash pad there and even though we didn't bring swim clothes, the boys had a blast there for a solid hour.




We rented a scooter and zoomed around the zoo for the last hour. They both took turns driving and it was such a perfect day.


Friendship goals...when you just meet up to do a puzzle together. Loved this night!

And that wraps up March!

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...

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...

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.
