Pumpkin Nights Take 2

My friend Trinidy invited Fox and I to join her and her kids at the Princess Resort for their Pumpkin Nights. Fox had already been twice, once with me and once with Katie, so I wasn't sure if he was up for going again, but there was no doubt in his mind.
He finally settled on a costume a few days prior and wanted to wear it to the event.

When we went a few weeks ago, it was so crowded that Fox was only able to go on one ride. When we arrived, the event had just opened and I told Trinidy that we should hit up the rides first to avoid long lines later, which worked out perfectly because there were no lines and the kids were able to go on multiple rides without having to wait.

I agreed to go on this spinning ride with them and regretted it pretty quickly. I was so nauseous, but I loved hearing their giggles and screams. They went on this ride three more times after, needless to say, I didn't join. 


S'mores time!

I was surprised that he wanted to eat an entire s'more this time, instead of just the marshmallows. 

After rides and s'mores we walked around the resort and checked out all of their decorations. 


When we went with Finn last month, we didn't really have the chance to look at their decorations, because Finn was too scared of them, but the big kids were all about it. 



It's always so special to me to spend time with just Fox. And it always makes me realize how easy just having one is, but on the other hand, I always think about how much fun Finn would've had too. 

We walked to their little lake and waited for their fireworks. It was perfect, because no one else was there and we were super close to them. It was a great night!

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...
