Halloween weekend

We started our Halloween weekend with a trip to the pumpkin patch, where we met some friends as well.

Finn would've stayed right there all day to play mini golf.

Fox tried out their new tube, but Finn was too scared to try, although I think he would've loved it. Maybe next year.

He had to hug all the goats!

Later that night, the boys and I went to their school's trunk or treat.

It doesn't happen that often, but I love when they play together.

The next night, which was the Saturday before Halloween, we went to the Spooktacular hot air balloon festival. We got there right when they opened, so the boys were able to do a bunch of the slides before it got too crowded and the lines got too long.

We got slushies, had a picnic, and the boys played tag on the lawn for the longest time.

We ran into some friends at the balloon festival, so we joined them for trick or treating at the hot air balloons for a bit, before heading home.

Unfortunately Fox got sick the next day, so he wasn't able to go trick or treating with us on Halloween. Luckily, he didn't seem to mind very much, he had been nervous about "getting lost" during trick or treating and has not been a big fan of crowds lately, so he was pretty happy to stay home while I took Finn to Corinne's house for her annual Halloween party.

Finn and his friend Charlie, those two stuck together the entire night.

I didn't buy myself a costume this year, so I just dressed up as a Grandma (this is actually my Grandma's dress, shoes, and purse...she passed away in 1999).

The candy crew!

I asked Finn if he was having so much fun, and he answered: "No...I'm hungry, my feet hurt, and I want to go home!" Haha.

It was a good weekend with lots of friends and candy of course!

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...
