It's Fall Ya'll!

Nothing says fall more than really hot temperatures and frozen yogurt, but that is how we welcomed the beginning of a new season!  It has been unseasonably hot so we have tried to enjoy being outside as much as possible since we know winter is coming.... and those of you that live up north.... try not to laugh at that previous sentence! ;)  We grabbed some frozen yogurt last weekend and it was the sweetest thing to watch Zander share his dessert with his younger brother.  Usually Maddox shares with me but Zander was very fair about taking a bite and giving Maddox the next one!
On Sunday, Zack and I headed to my first ever NFL football game!  Zack's work paid for us to go along with some of his customers so it was definitely a very special day with pretty amazing seats, good food, and great company!  Even though it was hot outside, I was able to enjoy the air conditioning while watching a football game and mingling with people Zack did and did not know!








 After the game, we met up with Aunt Maude and Uncle Henry who just happened to be eating dinner within walking distance of the stadium.  It was great to have an uninterrupted conversation since we didn't have two cute little ones with us! (Thanks Grammy for taking such good care of our boys while we were gone for the day!)
Zander and Maddox had superhero day at school last week... Zander was able to fit into his Halloween costume from two years ago for the event!  He wanted me to take this picture!
I took Maddox to the allergist to see if he stills has allergies to milk and eggs.... it was confirmed that these two continue to be a problem for him. We did further testing (where mommy had to hold his arm so the technician could get a vile of blood) to see what specifically in milk he is allergic to... this one is so puzzling to us since he eats yogurt and sometimes milk with no issue.  It was definitely hard to see him in pain, and he was glad to leave ASAP! ;)

 Maddox has been quite fussy this week.... I have no idea if it is because of new teeth appearing, the "traumatic" allergist appointment, busy week with very little Mommy-Maddox cuddle time or just the almost two-year old age.... but he has been quite miserable... making it hard to do many of the activities we typically enjoy!
 I got to meet the newest addition to our friend group!  Miss Sophia Hollins arrived on Tuesday which gave me the excuse to get some newborn cuddles in on Wednesday while bringing her mommy and daddy dinner to the hospital!

The boys (and Grammy) came to my school's reading night on Thursday night. Mom helped follow the boys around while I organized the event... Zander did a great job listening to teachers read books in tents for "Camp Read S'more".  Both boys were ready to leave before mommy was done working so Grammy to the rescue! She took the boys home and started baths while I finished up!  I am so thankful to have our family and friends close by to help on busy days!
Friday was Dress Like a Friend Day at my school and since Angie's Volunteers lost to my Gators, she had to sport a Florida jersey.  The boys joined in and matched mommy for school on Friday!

This morning, Linds and I fit in our last long run before our half marathon in two weeks!  We took a different route for our 10-miler and got to enjoy a scenic green-way type run into the city!  We both felt great for the run and had one of our best overall paces so we are hopeful that our race in two weeks will be just as great!
Today, Grannie came to visit us!  She entertained the boys while I finished running with my sis. After I got done, we took the boys to get a hair cut and out to lunch!  Maddox loved wearing her sunglasses around the house.  We always have fun when she comes to town!
