Halloween weekend

We started our Halloween weekend with a trip to the pumpkin patch, where we met some friends as well.

Finn would've stayed right there all day to play mini golf.

Fox tried out their new tube, but Finn was too scared to try, although I think he would've loved it. Maybe next year.

He had to hug all the goats!

Later that night, the boys and I went to their school's trunk or treat.

It doesn't happen that often, but I love when they play together.

The next night, which was the Saturday before Halloween, we went to the Spooktacular hot air balloon festival. We got there right when they opened, so the boys were able to do a bunch of the slides before it got too crowded and the lines got too long.

We got slushies, had a picnic, and the boys played tag on the lawn for the longest time.

We ran into some friends at the balloon festival, so we joined them for trick or treating at the hot air balloons for a bit, before heading home.

Unfortunately Fox got sick the next day, so he wasn't able to go trick or treating with us on Halloween. Luckily, he didn't seem to mind very much, he had been nervous about "getting lost" during trick or treating and has not been a big fan of crowds lately, so he was pretty happy to stay home while I took Finn to Corinne's house for her annual Halloween party.

Finn and his friend Charlie, those two stuck together the entire night.

I didn't buy myself a costume this year, so I just dressed up as a Grandma (this is actually my Grandma's dress, shoes, and purse...she passed away in 1999).

The candy crew!

I asked Finn if he was having so much fun, and he answered: "No...I'm hungry, my feet hurt, and I want to go home!" Haha.

It was a good weekend with lots of friends and candy of course!

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!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
