Friday Favorites - the New #50

Happy Friday. Is anyone else suffering from it's almost Christmas break and I don't feel like working any more? I really hope I'm not the only one. For some reason it really feel like yesterday was Friday and that I should be off today, but I'm not, boo.

Last night I came down from working in the office around 5pm and guess what was sitting on the counter? Yep, Mr. took the initiative to stuff and seal our Christmas cards, such a sweet guy right?! I was shocked and so happy I didn't have to stuff them. Now I just need to address them, put postage on and I'm done, woo hoo! Don't worry, I print out labels, no way can I hand address that many.

I know you really wanted to see a picture of my foot...but my first day of physical Therapy was this week and it's going so well! Today at PT I'm actually going to take steps without my boot on! Oh and I'm going to DRIVE MYSELF to PT...can you tell I'm excited. I'll let you know how it goes on Monday!

 Funny story about these pants, you've seen these, they are the ones I got from Fablethic, anyway, my dad picks me up and looks at me and says, you're wearing that to PT? So we get there and my dad had my PT before, so he tells him to go ahead and charge me double for wearing pants that look like that, haha.

Some random pictures of the kids I'm loving. Everyday she wants to dress up. She's just the cutest.

Baby Fox fell and hit his lip, it was a bleeder, so he's sucking on a freezer owie thing and Mini Fox was just super concerned, so she wanted in on the snuggles too. Oh and that super soft blanket, from Costco, only $15 worth EVERY penny, run don't walk to go get one too.

These two...love when they do this.

These got to go to Disneyland again yesterday, they had a blast. Although Mini Fox got no nap and it was rough when they got home, let me tell ya. But at least they had fun. Her favorite ride.

Cookies, he'll do anything for dessert.

How she talked anyone into buying this I'm not sure, all I know is she was on a super sugar high when they dropped her off.

We play a lot of games at our house, we turn EVERYTHING into a game and one of their favorite delay tactics is to play hide and seek. Their favorite thing is to hide somewhere, and then when the person who is seeking walks away they move positions and hide somewhere else. It's super cute listening to them giggling away. Guess where they are?

The other game is that Mini Fox likes to throw her hands out like this and say ICE POWER! And usually the person it's directed to, falls down dead, she thinks it's hilarious. I love that little giggle. She totally came up with the ice power on her own.

Lately she hasn't been saying Ice Power, mostly because we already know what she's doing. But if you're new, don't think she won't say it.

Pictures With Santa

Linking up with Courtney, Jenny, Elizabeth, Sara, Stephanie, and Laureen for Vists with Santa. I was going to post this sooner, but they were doing a link up, so I thought, why not. I'll hold off, make you guys wait a bit. I know you were dying to see them.

This is pretty much what I expected:

From 2012

From 2014

But instead we got two angel kids who couldn't wait to get on Santa's lap and talk to him and take pictures with him, parent win right there folks!

Best one we got out of them. They are saying cheese, just not doing a cheese face...oh well, there is always next year. Mini Fox told Santa she wanted a dolly and Baby Fox said he wanted toys but specifically a ride on toy...which for the record he is not getting, getting something much better that is not even on his radar because  I don't think he knows that he can be on his radar. Hopefully he'll be shocked and surprised.

 

Same expression, weird.

Santa refused to make a funny face, although he should have :)

Weird thing happened, we get home and I put in the disk to retrieve the photos and there isn't anything there! Say what?! So Mr. takes a look at the back and says, there is something on there, so he takes it up stairs and suddenly he starts sending me all of these pictures...they accidentally put every photo they took on the CD, instead of just the three that we ordered, woo hoo. I mean they all sort of look the same, but hey we'll take it!

What I Wore - Walking Boot Edition

First head on over to The Blended Blog to see how Baby Fox brought the Magic of Christmas back.

I'm finally feeling up to actually getting ready and going out. Woo hoo! Two outfit posts in a row, who am I? It was a nice break to just lounge around and do nothing, but I'm ready to get back out there. Who else still has Christmas gifts to buy? I have a long list, and time is running out on the internet options to get them before Christmas.

This is one of my favorite shirts that I got from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's a bit on the thinner side for colder weather so I layered it with my favorite long tank* from Target. Paired with my favorite leggings* from Nordstrom, on sale now for $27, reg. $36.

I really do think my favorite part is the back, there are these cute little buttons. I'm in serious need of a haircut. I was going to get one back in November...but well the whole driving thing.

And just for The Blended Blog ladies...token butt shot for ya :)

I know that green sock have no reason being there, other then I need tall socks to go with my boot, and I just happen to put on a green one. Frankly I only have these socks (it's actually has a picture of a snow monster on them) and black, the black were dirty. Oops, didn't realize I was going to actually have time to take an outfit post. Who knew!

Weekend Recap

It's a recap on a Tuesday! This weekend was pretty low key, Mr. was studying all weekend but went to my Aunt's house to study, so I could say home with the kids. So it was me and two kids with no driving capability. Luckily my parents kept us entertained for part of the weekend.

Friday I hung out with the little miss while Baby Fox was in school. She decided I needed more shots on top of the shots I already get.

I asked her to pose. I said put your hand on your hip like this, the sass is all her.

Time for some play house.

Then she wanted to watch a little tv, I can't remember for the life of me what she was watching.

My mom picked me up because I wanted to get some supplies for Baby Fox's birthday tree, then we picked up Baby Fox and headed out to get some lunch at In and Out.

These pictures were just too cute for words. She's actually eating a hamburger, her first one!

How adorable is this picture? Definitely going into her senior year book page.

Friday night the kids and I watch the Polar Express for the first time, I LOVED it, so much so I'm writing about it on The Blended Blog tomorrow!

Saturday morning this girl wanted some snuggles, won't say no to that.

My dad took Baby Fox to the Home Depot kids workshop while Mini Fox and I played some more. Watched a little Frozen, gotta take advantage of brother not being home. Then we headed to my parents for some lunch until naptime.

Mr. did send me a picture...of him "studying"...hard at work I see.

Sunday we met my parents (and when I say that, they came and picked us up) at church for the pancake breakfast and meeting Santa!

It was cute they had the kids start on one side of the room, and then work their way around the room doing different crafts until they ended up with Santa.

Pancake breakfast, yum!

Cute penguin. Okay so where were these smiles for family pictures? Next year might be our year...I won't hold my breath.

As my parents dropped us off, little miss wanted to go home with them.

It was before naptime, so we did some crafting, Mini Fox colored and caused general mayhem in the crafting department.

Baby Fox was hard at work making a count down to LEGOLAND (so weird, LEGOLAND, I type it normal and it automatically changes to all caps, anyone else's blogger do that?...I know you're going to your template in blogger to check...or is it just me? Hmmm...??) Anyway, 14 more days and we're headed to LEGOLAND, he's so excited.

He colored, cut, numbered and taped (with my help just holding the papers together, and little help ripping the tape off)

Mr. came home Saturday late, was studying all day Sunday, but brought back this dress from my Aunt. She couldn't wait to put it on.

Then her and Baby Fox decided they should go on a date, it was so cute. They walked around and then knocked on our laundry room door like they were going to a party, walked in and pretended that there were people in the laundry room, so cute.

 

The Noah's Ark she's holding, is her date purse I was informed.

That's our weekend...went to PT today, and I still can't drive, insert sad face here, he said maybe on Friday...fingers crossed!
