Candytopia

One of my friends bought tickets to Candytopia for the the boys for Christmas, so we decided to check it out.[[


I was wondering if it would be better to leave Finn with someone, but one of my friends who had already been assured me that he would love it just as much as Fox.

You go from room to room and the kids (and adults) collect candy from treasure chests. Luckily we didn't bring a bag, so we could only take what we could carry in our pockets and that was more than enough!

His first ring pop...he was a big fan!




I was pretty impressed when Fox was able to name all of the "paintings" in their art gallery room.

Isn't it crazy that every single piece is candy? I loved it just as much as the kids, although for different reasons.






In this particular room the kids were able to push around the giant inflatable balls. We had to be careful for Finn not to get run over though...ha! 

It wasn't crowded at all there, so we had all the time in the world in each room and we probably spent the most time in this one.







This was my favorite room. They shot out confetti at you from all angles, Fox and I thought it was awesome and Finn was terrified.





And the grand finale...the giant marshmallow pit. When we saw pictures of this online I assumed that these were real marshmallows, but they weren't, which is probably the more sanitary way to do it. I don't even want to know how many germs are in there.


It was really hard to navigate around all of the marshmallows and keeping Finn afloat.




Fox declared Candytopia as his new favorite place and literally asked to go back dozens of times after this day. It was a great day and I'm so grateful I got to experience this with my boys!

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...
