Pumpkins with friends

Finn and I haven't had a one on one date since school started, and when my friend Marcela invited us to come to the pumpkin patch, Fox opted to stay at home with grandma, so Finn and I got to spend some special time together.

We also met up with our bestie Becky and her kids!

Finn's first time trying out the apple shooter.

It was such a perfect day, not just friends wise, but also weather wise, and the kids had so much fun playing together.

Corn maze crew!

And the mamas!

This pumpkin patch was legit. Most of the patches in Phoenix have pumpkin displays vs. pumpkins that actually grow in a field, so this was really cool to see.

Finn and Simon explored on their own...

...until they found a mud pit to play in.

Look at those hands!

I love the many faces of Finn...

It probably took less than ten minutes in the car, and this big boy was fast asleep.

We were both exhausted after a long and fun day in the sun, but I love the memories we made with our friends.

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...

We took some family pictures this fall!

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse. Fox brought this home from schoo...
