Zoolights

Every year we loved going to Zoolights. I didn't know if it was going to happen this year because we really wanted to avoid any crowds, but then I saw that they offered their member nights again, and even though we are not members anymore, I knew my friend Tiffany was, so I asked her if she wanted to go.
I just adore these two little girls. They are so sweet and they always love on Finn. I don't think he wanted to hold hands with them, but he let them.


It turned out that it was the absolute perfect night to go. It was the beginning of November, so it was still warm at night and the zoo was almost empty, it was like we had the entire place to ourselves. 


You usually don't see a lot of animals during zoo lights, but we were lucky enough to see a very noisy lion and Finn was absolutely fascinated.


See what I mean...it was empty! Tiffany and I couldn't believe our luck and kept talking about how perfect this night was.




We don't have a lot of playdates with them, but surprisingly they all got along really great. Fox is at the stage where he'd rather play with boys than girls, but when there's no other choice, he plays with them very well. 

Finn loved all things Christmas this year, so I knew he would be a big fan of all the lights.

He talked about this spiderweb for weeks.





I'm so happy we got to experience this with our friends this year. It truly was a perfect night.

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...

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...
