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!

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

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...

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...
