The perfect day

You've probably heard me complain about the heat during Pumpkin Patch season for years now. Well, low and behold, we are having an unusual "cold" October and it has been simply amazing! 
After a good rainstorm, my friend Kristy and I packed up the boys and headed to one of our favorite pumpkin patches. I think this must be the fourth or even fifth year that we have taken the boys there together and I'm so glad they still love each other's company as much as Kristy and I do.


I had a last minute idea to make matching shirts for the boys and I think they looked so cute together.



The hay maze is always a big hit! Apparently Jake told Fox that there was an invisible scorpion in the maze and Fox came running out terrified.



We took the hayride to the pumpkin patch and had it all to ourselves!


Remember at the last pumpkin patch the boys had plotted to run away from all the pictures? Apparently it was so much fun last time that they had to do it again, which kind of ended up being in my favor since I was able to capture some real smiles and the fun they had together.

Kristy is always happy to get silly with the boys!






While running away from the pictures turned out to be a big hit, mining for gold must have been Fox's favorite on that particular day. I think I mentioned before that he is obsessed with all things gold, so this was right up his alley and he probably spent a good hour there.

The kids had the choice to trade all of their gold for candy at the gift shop, but Fox decided to keep his instead and still talks about this experience every day and asks to go back.

Looking for more gold!

I had planned to spend around two hours there and we ended up staying for five, nobody wanted the fun to end!

Kristy made another video of our day and I love it so much! When she sent it to me I couldn't stop smiling while watching it, I loved reliving our day and seeing the boys have so much fun together.
It was truly the perfect day, not just weather wise!

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...
