Christmas in February

My friend Kristy and I are all about the holidays! We see more of each other from the time pumpkin patches open until Christmas compared to the rest of the year.
In early December Kristy got the flu and was down for the count for about two weeks. She was really bummed out because she was missing so much of the holiday season, so we vowed that we would celebrate Christmas until February to make up for it. So we did.

At the beginning of February, I received some free tickets for "Lights of the World", which really is a Christmas display, but for whatever reason open until February, so we loaded up the kids for a night of fun. 
This guy was mesmerized by all the lights and activity going on around him. He was so happy to just chill in his car seat and look around.

They had some kids rides there as well and Fox and I ventured on their huge carpet slide, which was a blast.

Fox and Jake are so crazy together! What's funny is, that no matter where we take them, they always find the most random things that they will play with forever and talk about for months to come. Like this dinosaur egg. Who cares about rides and beautiful lights, when you have a dinosaur egg to play in? They also played for about 45 minutes on those weird foot massagers that you can find at the fair, I wish I would've taken a picture. 
It also reminds me of the time we went to the Pumpkin Patch and what was most memorable to Fox about this day, is the fact that they "built a house" in some bushes there. Love their imagination!


Even though we went on a weekend, it wasn't crowded at all. Probably because people were over Christmas by then...ha!


These swings were a big hit too!


My cute sidekick. 

Obviously, this kid as a million fox items, like his overalls and hat in this picture.  Katie and I actually never purchased a lot of Fox items when Fox was born, but people kept buying them for us, so we have quite the collection of hand-me-downs. Sorry Finn!

It was a great night with some of my favorite people!

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...

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...
