Summer Bucketlist

It's memorial day weekend! Pools are opening, grills are lit and i'm packing up winter clothes! Even got my mani/pedi today cause i'll be in sandals all summer! Time to get my summer list ready! I have two w i l d boys to keep entertained and fed! Of course there will be those chill days too. 

• Pool is definitely on the top of my list since we can head out to our community pool to cool off on those hot summer days.
• Library! Max has been starting to read (can you believe that?!) so i want to get him his first library card and do some summer reading! And hopefully be another place to cool off at ;)
• We definitely want to make a beach trip this summer! Still deciding which beach. Any suggestions?
• Water balloons and water table on lazy days, plus the boys keep asking for them!
• Maryland Science Center cause it's just a fun, cool place to keep these boys entertained. Plus i got a membership for my birthday! And there are tons of things to do and eat while we're at the harbor! Including a splash pad! (yea yea yea!)
• Theme park! I definitely want to check out Dutch Wonderland this year since both boys are big and brave enough to go on some rides. Plus it's just for kids! Nothing too big and intimidating. I found a great deal too!
• Strawberry & blueberry picking! Just something delicious and fun to do. I'm sure they'll eat everything before we even get to weigh and checkout.
• And food! Time to get that grill going! And lots of ice cream and shaved ice to cool down! 
• And celebrate my baby's 3rd birthday! Time flies!

I hate summer heat but i'm ready for some summer vibes! We've been having some wack weather this year and just ready for some sun!

And there's only about a week left of Pre-K for M~ the school year went by quick! We went to Kindergarten orientation earlier this week and got to see the school and the room. I seriously cannot believe he's going to kindergarten already! I mean...it feels like yesterday i started this blog (and i did a sucky job at keeping up with it).

I'm going to enjoy and soak up all the time i have with him this summer until he goes off to school all day! So much mixed feelings! I know i have to let him go a little and let him grow his wings.. but this mama just wants to hold him and never let go... i know. dramatic :P

Happy Memorial weekend!

Life according to my iPhone: October 2016

Dang. October just came and gone in a flash. But looking back on my photos in October, i realize it was a long eventful month! We started by busting out our Halloween jammies (Max/Nathan) & halloween books, Fall Festival at Homestead Gardens (the boys could of jumped on that pillow all day!), upgraded my iPhone6 and got the iPhone7 Plus (so big! now when i see the 6, it's so tiny! lol), lots of playground time while the weather is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! We decorated our front door with beautiful mums & pumpkins, carved our pumpkins for the 1st time, Max had his 1st official school pics taken (i plan on hoarding until he graduates!), we celebrated my Niece's 1st birthday (which i basically planned and coordinated..dahhh!), tons of photo sessions (my wrist hurts...ouch), i FINALLY got my chicken & waffles! Thinking about it makes me wanna go back and get more~~~ also trying to let go of insecurities and just ask (okay, more like demand) my Husband to take more photos of me and the boys..still got to work on his picture taking skills..the screen is in his face and i have no idea what he's looking at cause the composition is ALL wrong. But whatever, i'm in them. We went to our 1st Halloween block party (went late cause somebody wanted to go to Costco -_-), had a few messy and snotty boys from the wacky weather, Nathan finally learned how to open the door (we didn't want to teach him cause he's trouble!), He's talking a LOT more (than Max did at the same age)! He basically understands everything i ask and say, which is so weird because i'm so used to Max not understanding my direction or questions (still kind of don't sometimes). Max is going to OT once a week now, he is also loving school and have gotten used to his daily routine, he also had his first Halloween parade at school! Max started to get anxious after a while from seeing so many other students in their costumes..i think he got a little overwhelmed with the experience but he was fine once he went to his classroom to do the Halloween activities, Nathan on the other hand was a pain in my ass! He wanted to be held the whole time and wanted to bother his brother and eating his snacks. Dah! And last but not least, Halloween with the crew! Max and Nathan really enjoyed trick or treating this year! And they got (me) a pretty good candy stash! :)

Now we plan Christmas, right?! Oh wait, no, Thanksgiving!
