Candytopia

One of my friends bought tickets to Candytopia for the the boys for Christmas, so we decided to check it out.[[


I was wondering if it would be better to leave Finn with someone, but one of my friends who had already been assured me that he would love it just as much as Fox.

You go from room to room and the kids (and adults) collect candy from treasure chests. Luckily we didn't bring a bag, so we could only take what we could carry in our pockets and that was more than enough!

His first ring pop...he was a big fan!




I was pretty impressed when Fox was able to name all of the "paintings" in their art gallery room.

Isn't it crazy that every single piece is candy? I loved it just as much as the kids, although for different reasons.






In this particular room the kids were able to push around the giant inflatable balls. We had to be careful for Finn not to get run over though...ha! 

It wasn't crowded at all there, so we had all the time in the world in each room and we probably spent the most time in this one.







This was my favorite room. They shot out confetti at you from all angles, Fox and I thought it was awesome and Finn was terrified.





And the grand finale...the giant marshmallow pit. When we saw pictures of this online I assumed that these were real marshmallows, but they weren't, which is probably the more sanitary way to do it. I don't even want to know how many germs are in there.


It was really hard to navigate around all of the marshmallows and keeping Finn afloat.




Fox declared Candytopia as his new favorite place and literally asked to go back dozens of times after this day. It was a great day and I'm so grateful I got to experience this with my boys!

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...

Graduation Party

My mother in law Rene' and my friend Allison threw me a graduation brunch the day after I got pinned as a nurse. I love this picture of Patrick. My other (ex) mother in law made this incredible cake for me, she is so talented. My sweet friend Mason. We spent our first year in nursing school together, until he decided to go a different route. We still meet up for brunches and he is also my hairdresser, but I still miss seeing him as much as I used to. It meant a lot to me that he came.  I can't even express how loved I felt on this day. I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so many amazing friends who have been through it all with me. Ten years of friendship this year! Katie and Christina brought the boys and also attended my party, which I really appreciated. Classmates! I was joking that the next time I will receive this many flowers, it'll be my funeral. I also received so many thoughtful and sweet cards and gifts, I was truly spoiled. It was the perfect ending to an em...
