Weekend Bliss

Weekends are usually very busy for us. Shopping, Cleaning, Errands and trying to knock some things off my never ending To-Do List. This weekend was not much different, but to be honest, if it was any different I would not be able to enjoy it. I just love getting things done, call me crazy.
We started by bringing Katie's Car to get serviced, followed by a visit to Costco (looove that place!), Carwash for me and an early lunch, where I got this disgusting Diet Coke (see picture below german version):

Wochenenden sind meistens ziemlich hektisch fuer uns. Einkaufen, putzen, Besorgungen und der Versuch ein paar Dinge von meiner nie endenden "To Do" Liste zu streichen. Dieses Wochenende war nicht viel anders, aber um ehrlich zu sein, wuerde es anders sein wuerde ich es vermutlich nicht geniessen koennen. I liebe es einfach, Dinge zu erledigen, nenn mich verrueckt.
Es fing damit an, dass wir Katie's Auto zur Werkstatt brachten, danach ein Besuch bei Costco (liebe das Geschaeft!), mein Auto wurde gewaschen und ein fruehes Mittagessen, wo ich diese ekelige Cola Light bekam:
Seriously? Lemon Crap on the sides of the glass and FOUR floating leaves that could not be identified? What the heck? How can you not see all this when you fill the glass? Although it was pretty gross and we complained, we did crack up a lot over it.
After lunch we went to another one of my favorites: Target (who doesn't love Target?), where I scored these Halloween Salt and Pepper Shakers for $5 (picture again below under german version):

Wirklich? Zitronenzeug an den Seiten des Glasses und VIER schwimmende Blaetter, die wir nicht identifizieren konnten. Was zum Teufel? Wie kann man das bitte uebersehen wenn man das Glas fuellt? Obwohl es ziemlich ekelig war und wir uns beschwert haben, haben wir auch sehr drueber gelacht.
Nach dem Mittagessen sind wir zu einem meiner anderen Lieblingsgeschaefte gegangen: Target (wer liebt denn nicht Target?), wo ich diese Halloween Salz und Pfeffer Streuer fuer $5 abgestaubt habe:
I'm looking forward to dig out all of our Halloween decorations and adding some things to our small collection.

Ich freue mich schon darauf, unsere Halloween Dekorationen rauszukramen und ein paar neue Dinge zu unserer kleinen Sammlung hinzuzufuegen.


At home I had to work for a few hours and Cosie kept me company...he actually tried to lay his head on the keyboard!

Zuhause musste ich ein paar Stunden arbeiten und Cosie hat mir Gesellschaft geleistet... er hat sogar versucht seinen Kopf auf die Tastatur zu legen!




The night ended with Dinner at Macaroni Grill and a movie with Katie's Mom. We watched "Easy A" and although I thought it would be a stupid Highschool Movie, it was the funniest movie I've seen all year. I laughed so hard that I cried, it was dang funny. Love this part of the movie (totally see myself doing this when no one is watching:)):





Die Nacht endete mit einem Abendesen bei Macaroni Grill und einem Kinobesuch mit Katie's Mutter. Wir haben "Easy A" gesehen und obwohl ich dachte, es waere ein bloeder Highschool Film, war es der lustigste Film den ich im ganzen Jahr gesehen habe. Ich habe so sehr gelacht, dass ich Lachtraenen hatte, es war so witzig. Ich liebe diesen Teil des Films (ich kann mir genau vorstellen wie ich das machen wuerde, wenn keiner zuguckt:)):
Today we went to the Women's Expo where we saw Kirstie Alley. We love her show and it was pretty fun.

Heute sind wir zur Women's Expo gefahren, wo wir Kirstie Alley gesehen haben. Wir lieben ihre Show, von daher fand ich es ziemlich gut.
And after we were finished cleaning the house, I made Mushroom Risotto, which turned out great.

Und nachdem wir mit dem Hausputz fertig waren, habe ich Risotto mit Pilzen gemacht, was richtig lecker war.
Now, it's time to relax and watch some of my favorite Shows. Busy week ahead of me... but what a great weekend!

Nun ist es Zeit zum relaxen und ein paar von meinem Lieblingssendungen zu gucken. Stressige Woche liegt vor mir... aber was fuer ein tolles Wochenende!

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...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
