Her makeup in her mini caboodle is tooooo cute.

Super quickly threw together this one pot chicken and orzo.

Her birthday is tomorrow but we celebrated with family back at our house too!!

Doggy cake for the doggy loving girl.

She wanted a doggy party but a lot of the stuff I found was for parties for an actual dog! So then she said a cheetah party… ha.

Neon cheetah print to the rescue!

After her party Max had his last flag football game.

He loves this so much and they had so much fun!

Finished the weekend with hockey and we put up a christmas tree! Woohoo!

These fall skies.

They were trying to cover themselves in pumpkins.

Blends right in!

I made white chicken chili at some point.

We went to the pumpkin patch!

Apple cider donuts forever.

We wait all year for one!

Loved it.

These mums were also SO pretty.

That’s my fall color palette.

Captain Emilia.

Had another cross country race today!!

The kids are doing so amazing.

Love love love watching them.

And Max had his best time yet!

Jordan gets very bored at the long races, so he got to go to a festival with his cousins! He’s happy, just hot!

So fun.

Emilia’s favorite part of taking out her braids: mermaid waves!

And then tonight she realized that she LOST A TOOTH!!! Her first one!! We think she might have swallowed it… oops.

So she wrote a note to the tooth fairy. All is well!

My mom and I went to see Hamilton this week!

Preshow festivities.

And bread. The show was amazing. I’ve seen it almost 10 times now and still love it.

School line shenanigans.

My mom had four tiny kittens on her deck! They were so cute. Until one caught a chipmunk and tore it’s head off in front of us.

Then I snuck these two out of school a little early to go see Hamilton!!

They’ve listened to the soundtrack a million times so I knew they could hang in with the long show!

I swear I’m not holding them hostage.

After every song ended, Emilia clapped excitedly with the BIGGEST smile. It was so cute. Like she couldn’t believe what she just watched!

He loved it too! Nonstop has been his favorite song for years, but he this in the show the king was his favorite.

More gorgeous sunsets during cross country.

How we stay entertained. Jordan “drives.”

And climbs.

Friday was such a gorgeous sunny september day.

Jordan loooooves the Halloween stuff at Target.

More hockey this weekend.

Fun with friends.
