Summer Bucket List

We did a summer bucket list in 2019 and it was a lot of fun, so we decided to do it again this year. What I like about it most, is that it sometimes forces us to get out and do fun things, even when we feel like just staying home. Although, we did a lot of that too this summer. Summers are rough in Arizona and we are just now seeing the end of it and the days are getting nice again, we are all excited for fall!
The boys and I came up with some things we wanted to do this summer, wrote them down and hung them on our garage door as a daily reminder. 

Playing in the rain! This was actually in Michigan and Finn still talks about this day. Fox didn't want to have anything to do with the rain. 

Travel to Michigan and visit our friend Allison.

Making s'mores!

Making cookies

Ice Cream Date!

Play at Uptown Jungle

Go to Skyzone

Camping with friends...always a favorite!

Visit the aquarium.

Sleepover with a friend (with Jake at the Princess Resort).

Watch fireworks

Swim at night

Go to a water park

Indoor mini golfing

Have a water balloon fight

Have a game night (Finn was already sleeping).

Go to Legoland

Make cookies (again!)

Visit the Natural History Museum

Write cards to friends

Go to the movie theater (we saw Space Jam 2).

Have snow cones. 

Go to the splash pad

Play at Kids Empire

Go to the beach
I think the only thing we didn't cross off the list was to have a "yes day". Fox decided that for his yes day, he wanted to go to the Great Wolf Lodge again, so I booked us a stay for a later date.
It was a fun-filled summer, but we are ready for pumpkin patches and Halloween fun!

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...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha. 

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
