Fall Things

I love Fall. I love everything about it. The Decorations, Halloween and the cooler weather. 
Although, living in Arizona, "cooler weather" just means that instead of 115 degrees, it's only 100 right now. Oh well, we'll get there eventually. 
We don't have many decorations, but if I wasn't so dang cheap, I could easily spend a full months salary in the Halloween Section at Target, that's just how much I love this time of year. Almost as much as christmas. But like I said..."almost"!
So for now, we add a few pieces every year and 20 years from now, we can go "all out". 

Ich liebe den Herbst. Ich liebe einfach alles daran. Die Dekorationen, Halloween und das kuehlere Wetter.

Obwohl, wenn man in Arizona lebt, dann bedeutet "kuehleres Wetter" nur, dass es anstelle von 46 Grad, nur noch 40 Grad sind. Naja, irgendwann wird es schon abkuehlen.
Wir haben nicht soviele Dekorationen, aber wenn ich nicht so geizig waere, dann koennte ich gut und gerne ein volles Monatsgehalt in der Halloween-Abteilung bei Target ausgeben, so sehr liebe ich diese Jahreszeit. Fast so sehr wie Weihnachten. Aber wie ich schon sagte ... auch nur "fast"!
Also kaufen wir jedes Jahr ein paar Dekorationen dazu und in 20 Jahren werden wir dann einigermassen ausgestattet sein!:)


We love our Scentsy Candles, we have one for every season and this one is my favorite!

Wir lieben unsere Scentsy Duftlampen, wir haben eine fuer jede Jahreszeit und diese hier ist meine Lieblingslampe.

Stole this idea from pinterest and just love it. 

Ich habe diese Idee von Pinterest geklaut und liebe es einfach.

Totally posted these Salt and Pepper Shakers here before, can you tell I still love them?

Die Salz und Pfeffer Streuer habe ich hier schon mal gepostet, daran koennt ihr vielleicht merken, wie sehr ich sie noch immer liebe!

I saw this wreath on pinterest and just knew I had to make it. It came with some hotglue burns and a bloody finger, but it was totally worth it!


Den Kranz habe ich auf Pinterest gesehen und wusste einfach, dass ich ihn machen musste. Er kam mit ein paar Verbrennungen und einem blutigen Finger aber es war es wert!




Along with the 100 degree weather comes our plastic pumpkin, does anyone know how long a real pumpkin lasts in the AZ heat? Two days? Three?


Mit dem 40 Grad heissem Wetter kommt auch unser Kuerbis aus Plastik, weiss jemand wielange ein richtiger Kuerbis in der AZ Hitze ueberlebt? Zwei Tage? Drei?


My newest addition...also from pinterest, where else? (I think they should totally pay me for all of the free advertising I'm doing here for them...haha!)
Meine neuste Deko...von Pinterest, woher auch sonst? (Ich finde die sollten mich mal langsam fuer all die kostenlose Werbung, die ich hier fuer sie mache, bezahlen...haha!)



Katie asked me to make her a pumpkin pie last week. I've never made one before, but I guess it turned out, she seemed to like it.
And you know what's the best part about fall? Christmas is right around the corner! :)


Katie hatte mich letzte Woche gefragt, ob ich ihr einen Kuerbiskuchen backen wuerde. Ich habe vorher noch nie einen gemacht, aber ich glaube, er ist ganz gut gelungen, sie schien ihn zu moegen.
Und wisst ihr, was das Beste am Herbst ist? Weihnachten ist fast um die Ecke! :)

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...
