Cop & Robbers

This was the first year that Fox really had an opinion about what he wanted to be for Halloween. Although, said opinion changed quite frequently from the time we first asked him in August to when we actually bought his costume. 
He went from wanting to be a storm trooper to an astronaut, from superhero to witch...until we had to break the news that his broom won't actually fly, so that was a deal breaker for him (I was so excited that we could be the Sanderson sisters...ha!). Eventually, he told us he wanted to be a police officer and when he didn't change his mind for several weeks, we pulled the trigger and went costume shopping. He chose "bad guy costumes" for Katie and I and while I didn't care what we were going to be, I was happy that once again, we managed to have a family costume theme. 

I asked my favorite photographer if she had 15 minutes to snap some quick pictures of us and she came up with this elaborate story line that we had to act out when we met up for the photo shoot. That's why I love her. 
Just like last year, we sent out some Halloween Cards to our family and friends, this was the front of the card...and down below, the backside.


Here are the pictures we got back from her...only a few hours after the shoot (another reason why I love her!).
Katie and I ended up getting our "costumes" off amazon, since they were much cheaper there because they weren't really costumes, plus, I do love striped shirts, so I know I will wear this shirt for years to come. 

Fox was totally into this. He took his job very seriously and you could tell how proud he was to be a police officer.

Spotting the "bad guys"

The Chase...

Oh no, he got us!

This was, by far, his favorite part...arresting his mommies!

Pure concentration!




Katie hates taking Family pictures, but she loved these. So do I. They were so easy and fast and I love how they turned out. 
We always frame one picture of our Halloween costumes as part of our Halloween decorations for the house and I can't believe we already have four years worth of Halloweens up!
I'm going to be so sad when the day comes, that our kids refuse to do a family theme, but luckily, today is not that day!

    Oh my word! These pictures are adorable! Last year was the first that we did professional pics for Halloween and I agree with Katie, it's much more fun than taking stuffy holiday family photos. You guys are just the cutest!

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...
