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!

July iPhone dump

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...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
