The Rest of Fall

Halloween seems so far away already and yet, I have failed to blog about the rest of October. 
The month seemed to have flown by and we were constantly doing something, so when it came to an end, I was ready to slow down.
We attended a Halloween Hot Air Balloon Festival one weekend in October. We had never been, but received free tickets through work and Fox couldn't have loved it more. Bounce Houses Galore, Trick or Treating, staying up past his bedtime and fireworks...what's not to love?

He even got to ride in his first Hot Air Balloon!

And before we knew it, it was time to carve pumpkins! We always carve them as close to Halloween as possible, since they don't last very long in the Arizona Heat.
Just as last year, Fox wasn't a fan and didn't like the hair in the pumpkin or getting dirty. He is my child after all!



Katie took one for the team and finished the job!



All Halloween Day Fox had told me that he was going to be Waldo, but right before we went Trick or Treating, he changed his mind and wanted to be "Catboy". He was so proud to show grandpa his costume!



Before every house, he announced who he was going to ring the doorbell with and 9 out of 10 times, grandpa was the obvious choice!




He had so much fun and watching him experience this just made my heart burst with happiness!

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

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 schoo...
