Pumpkin Painting

This was our fourth annual pumpkin painting playdate with our friends, and this year, we hosted it at our house. Finn had been talking about painting pumpkins for days and was really excited for his friends to come and get started.

I bought him a little ceramic pumpkin instead of a real one, because we have one that Fox painted three years ago and it's one of my favorite fall decorations, so obviously we needed one from Finn as well.

We got a trampoline! Well actually, the boys received this from their grandparents for Christmas last year. It was supposed to go to Katie's house and since she never built it, I had asked her about 27 times since the pandemic started if we could have it, but she wasn't ready to give it up. I think she eventually realized that she will never actually set it up and Fox and I did a little happy dance when we finally got it. And I'm proud to say that I was able to set it up all by myself!

It has seriously been such a blessing to have. The boys love it and it keeps them occupied for a long time.

The kids played their hearts out (and destroyed the house at the same time) and we ended up making them dinner and ordering some thai food for us.

All of the kids were so proud of their pumpkins. Until next year...!

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...

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...
