Baby Sprinkle

A few weeks ago, one of my best friends hosted a Baby Sprinkle for us. I wasn't going to have another Baby Shower, since we literally have everything we need for him, but I loved that she wanted to throw a party for us to celebrate this baby.
I remember how OCD I was when it came to planning Fox's Shower, I was a "Momzilla" for sure and wanted everything to be perfect. Based on that, I was very surprised with myself how little I micromanaged the details of this party and just let Lindsi do whatever she wanted.
Lindsi asked if we could have it at our house, so that's what we did. 
I loved this candy bar, so cute!

These were the favors, custom made button cookies. Lindsi came up with the theme "Cute as a button" and it turned out super adorable.


My beautiful wife!

We snapped a quick family picture before everyone arrived.



This was one of the games we played. You basically got points for everything you had in your purse and whoever had the most points won the prize.

I am so grateful for everything she did for us! I know how stressful it is to plan a party and she wouldn't let me help with anything. 

We had everyone write a message to the baby in this book. I originally had a custom book ordered with his name and it didn't arrive in time, so we got this one instead, which is one of Katie's favorite kids books. 

My mother in law made this cake for us, but unfortunately couldn't stay for the party since she had a family emergency. It was delicious as always and I ate the leftovers for another four days after the party!

Love these girls so much! It's so crazy to think that four years ago I didn't know if I would have any mom friends and all these years later we still get together for playdates, brunches and our monthly Bunco group, all thanks to a Facebook group that one of the Moms (in the white shirt) started when we were all pregnant with our first babies!

I'm also grateful for this lady, who has been right alongside with me through all the up and downs of pregnancy. We are having our babies three weeks apart and I'm excited for lots of playdates!

Just a couple of 4-year olds, trying to help their moms lift the load!
While we didn't have any kids at the party, we invited Aria over so Fox would have someone to play with and these two played so well together...we didn't hear one peep from the playroom!

I'm so glad we got to celebrate our baby boy with our friends and some family, it was a great afternoon!

    This is the sweetest! I love the idea of a baby sprinkle. The cake and cookies are adorable and looked delish! G purchased the same book for Will when he was a baby to have his teachers sign as he goes from grade to grade, in school. It's so perfect for little dudes. :)

    You look great, btw!

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...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
