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.

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...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
