October iPhone Dump

How is it already November? I feel like it was just time to put our Halloween decorations out and now they are already packed away until next year! So let's see what else we did in October besides going to Pumpkin Patches every weekend!
Fox was off school one day, so we invited his friend Dylan over for a playdate by himself. These boys played so good together, Dylan was here for over six hours and the playroom was wrecked afterwards, but it was so fun for both of them.

Fox is really into building legos these days!

This sweaty mess was so proud that he got a ribbon after Ninja Training for doing a good job during the class!

When we combined two small rooms to make a bigger bedroom for Fox two years ago, we lost our guest room, so we decided to turn our unused dining room into my office and included a wall bed for guests. It’s my favorite space in the house now!

I told Fox he could pick one thing when we went to Hobby Lobby and this is what he picked. He claims it’s his new favorite shirt and can’t wait to wear it to school. 

A little girly? Maybe...but he loves anything sparkly and he’s wearing it with confidence and so much joy and I’m glad he has no idea what gender stereotypes are! 

So proud of his decorated pumpkin!

Fox: “I’m going to put my shirt on backwards so I have a new place for buggers!"

Late night pajama meet up with his friend to see the pumpkin display!

My sweet family

It was Katie's birthday and I took her out to her favorite restaurant while her parents watched both boys for the first time. Not sure who had the most fun, but my guess is Grandma who got to snuggle with Finn all night.


Three years of preschool pictures

Grandma Rene' made this quilt for Fox after he was born. It's a little to warm to sleep under but Fox loves to cuddle under it.

Who is this big kid?

I took Fox to the Halloween Balloon festival like every year and he had a blast. I was so proud of him because they gave out candy and he wasn't able to eat it because of his allergies and while he wasn't too happy about it, he threw it right in the trash and didn't throw a fit.

Pumpkin Painting Playdate with friends! The kids were all yelling "Best day ever" and my sweet friends organized a scavenger hunt for the kids that didn't involve any candy, just little toys for the kids, so Fox was able to participate and he was so excited!

They all played for hours and we stayed until it got dark out, such a fun afternoon.

    So much cuteness! That pumpkin is something to be proud of! I am digging the wall art in the pic of Fox with his (freaking amazing) rainbow glitter shirt. I may need to steal that idea for photos. Where is the shelf from? if do not mind me asking...

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...
