October iPhone Dump

My favorite post of the month...my monthly iPhone dump!
I'll never get tired of sleeping pictures.

Finn didn't want to take a nap that day, so we decided to skip it, but the minute we went in the car he fell asleep. Every time...and it ruins bedtime. But look how cute he is!

They built another fort and Finn was so happy that big brother let him in.

He tries to copy everything Fox does and thinks he is hilarious. I think so too.

My friend and I went shooting one night. I hadn't been in years and never actually been to a shooting range, my brother in law had taken me shooting in the desert a few times before. I'm pretty sure that everyone at the range was making fun of me, because every time a shot was fired my whole body flinched. I'm scared of guns and it was definitely not my favorite activity, but I wanted to get a refresher on how to use one. 

This was our first time at the playground since February (besides the time we went in Long Beach) and while it was still pretty hot, both boys enjoyed their time and didn't want to leave.


A few weeks after Fox's unfortunate haircutting incident during his class zoom call, my friend Tilly offered to come over and shave his head, because we had family pictures coming up and we tried to even it out as best as we could. He wasn't too happy about getting a buzz cut, but he has gotten so many compliments on his hair cut since, that I wonder if he will ever let us grow out his hair again.

The kids had fun playing the rest of the night and we all had dinner together.

Finn started his first sports class! They rotate between soccer, basketball and baseball, but Finn was only interested in playing basketball, even though this week started with soccer. 

He was supposed to stand on this yellow circle, but he decided to carry it around instead.

He didn't really want to participate and acted a little shy, but Fox helped him get more comfortable.

They love each other so much!


Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm trying to have as many meals outside as possible. These boys are messy! We just have to remember not to leave the food unattended for even a second. They wanted to jump on the trampoline for a bit and when we came back, all of the waffles were gone...apparently Cosie was hungry too!

This is my favorite Halloween house, the pumpkins are synchronized to Halloween music and I believe Finn could've stayed there all night long. 

We've been driving around neighborhoods looking for Halloween decorations a few times this month and this one was amazing. You can't really tell in this picture, but they had dozens of skeletons everywhere and Finn couldn't get enough. He's been asking to go see "spooky decorations" every single night. I think Christmas is going to blow his mind...I can't wait!


Working outside while watching them have fun. 

This is what Fox's live PE zoom class looks like, Finn was getting in on the action as well and they were both giggling their little hearts out.

Lately, a lot of my nights have been looking like this...catching up on Etsy orders while the kids are with Katie.

My friends are better than yours...lol!
I had a little procedure done (I’m ok!) and for the last few days I have been spoiled like I’ve never been spoiled before. They brought me multiple dinners, breakfast, treats, kept me company, took care of me, checked in on me, drove me around, did my dishes, and helped me with Etsy orders.
I knew I had amazing friends, but I’m just blown away. I’m truly blessed to be part of such an amazing tribe! ❤️


Halloween Nails...
...and they even glow in the dark!

I took Fox on a little one on one date after school one day and asked him what he wanted to do, so our first stop was the Gelato Spot!

I was surprised that he wanted to go to the playground afterwards, but when we drove around one night to look for Halloween decorations, he had seen a new playground that he wanted to check out, so that's what we did.


That night, we went to a Haunted House in my friend's neighborhood. This was the only night they put on the event without any actors jumping out at you and Fox had told me that he was ready to try it out.



We waited in line for about ten minutes before we were able to go in. He was so scared and couldn't wait to get out. But in the end, he was proud of himself for trying it. 

Another sports class and Grandpa joined us!

They were working as a team to "fix" their car.

Sometimes appreciation and kindness come in unexpected ways. Loved finding this note.

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...
