The perfect day

You've probably heard me complain about the heat during Pumpkin Patch season for years now. Well, low and behold, we are having an unusual "cold" October and it has been simply amazing! 
After a good rainstorm, my friend Kristy and I packed up the boys and headed to one of our favorite pumpkin patches. I think this must be the fourth or even fifth year that we have taken the boys there together and I'm so glad they still love each other's company as much as Kristy and I do.


I had a last minute idea to make matching shirts for the boys and I think they looked so cute together.



The hay maze is always a big hit! Apparently Jake told Fox that there was an invisible scorpion in the maze and Fox came running out terrified.



We took the hayride to the pumpkin patch and had it all to ourselves!


Remember at the last pumpkin patch the boys had plotted to run away from all the pictures? Apparently it was so much fun last time that they had to do it again, which kind of ended up being in my favor since I was able to capture some real smiles and the fun they had together.

Kristy is always happy to get silly with the boys!






While running away from the pictures turned out to be a big hit, mining for gold must have been Fox's favorite on that particular day. I think I mentioned before that he is obsessed with all things gold, so this was right up his alley and he probably spent a good hour there.

The kids had the choice to trade all of their gold for candy at the gift shop, but Fox decided to keep his instead and still talks about this experience every day and asks to go back.

Looking for more gold!

I had planned to spend around two hours there and we ended up staying for five, nobody wanted the fun to end!

Kristy made another video of our day and I love it so much! When she sent it to me I couldn't stop smiling while watching it, I loved reliving our day and seeing the boys have so much fun together.
It was truly the perfect day, not just weather wise!

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'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
