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 for the very first time! He was not a fan, but I was proud of him for trying it.

I will always take a picture when one of my kids grabs my hand. Don't blink...!

The boys convinced me to have a sleepover at my house with their friends, and while it was a wild night, it went much better than expected and they were so grateful and happy.

Late night swimming with the boys was a little stressful, constantly counting heads to make sure everyone was okay. These boys were wild!

A patient at work gave me this stuffed animal and I knew Finn would absolutely love it, but the looks I got carrying this thing out of the hospital were funny!

I had a little help though! She's my favorite!

One happy little boy!

We celebrated Finn's birthday a little late with 8 of his friends at "Activate", and they had so much fun!

I thought it was so funny that all of the gifts he received were Legos. He has been really into building legos lately, so this was perfect!

He asked to make cupcakes one afternoon.

We had to take Fox to a blood draw, and Finn kept farting really loudly in the waiting room with tons of people around, and this were their faces.

It's always a great night when Fox makes us dinner!

Finished another lego, and he was so proud of it.

More swim playdates with friends!

And this 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'...

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...
