Zoolights

Last year we bought Zoolight tickets and weren't able to go, because Fox got really sick and then December kind of flew by in a flash, like it always does. So this year, we decided to go to their Member Preview Night, which is a few days before they open to the public. I always love those nights, because they are way less crowded, since it's just for zoo members. 
It was a perfect night and Fox loved seeing all the displays, especially this spiderweb and the spider!


These are their Spiderman moves!

Katie is deathly afraid of snakes, so when Fox spotted one, he was all about riling her up about it. These two are so alike, I love watching their relationship. 

We also went to see the dinosaurs again. When we went a few weeks ago with Fox's friend Jake, he was a little scared of them, but he did so much better this time around, even though it was now dark on top of the "scary" dinosaurs. Katie obviously loved it. 

We watched their light show a couple of times and played on the playground before it was way past someone's bed time and we had to go home.
It was such a great night spent with my two favorite people. Love this time of year!

    So fun! Don't you just LOVE Christmas lights? We do River of Lights at our Botanical Gardens and it's one of my fav holiday traditions. That last picture of the lights on the water is absolutely beautiful!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
