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 2 at the theater, they both loved it.


A special one on one date with my little one, while Fox was at a playdate. He picked mini golf, but then got mad because I was winning!


Fox's friend had a small birthday celebration and they all went to ifly together, which is an indoor skydiving place.



Finn asked to have a playdate with two school friends and they had so much fun together.

Waiting for the bus!

I coincidentally ran into my friend Jessica while we were both shopping at Goodwill. We always talked about wanting to go thrifting together, but never made it happen, so this was really fun.

A rare evening in August where the weather was bearable enough at night to play outside for a bit.

Reading with him at night is my favorite.


Face-timing Fox while I was at work. I don't get to see them for almost 6 days every other week, and I hate it, so I'm grateful to be able to FaceTime them during my busy shifts.

He asked to eat all of these for dinner! Look at that face!

A sweet brotherly moment at the dentist.


Impromptu pizza and swim night with two of my friends and all of our kids. This night filled my cup!


They played for hours in the pool together!

The big kids met when they were mere month old babies and look at them now!



And that wraps up August!

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...
