This weekend we had temps between 32-37 degrees. Yay above freezing! We enjoyed what little sunshine there was on Saturday morning by venturing to Starlounge coffeeshop. Merrick has an art show running there until the beginning of the year, so the boy and I took a trip down there while Daddy finished his setup. Mo played on the patio in the snow and warmed up with a hot chocolate. We tested out the new bear paws and they kept his hands warm just fine.
Saturday night I dressed him up in his candy cane striped PJs and we did a photo shoot for the Christmas card. I can't wait to pick out the pics and shoot them over to Shutterfly.
On Sunday I took the boy with me to Target, to do a little supply shopping before my mom gets here this coming weekend. I picked out some new shoes for him to grow into and I was amazed that he's now a size 7 going on size 8. Where did the time go?!
Later on that night, we went to Lincoln Park Zoo to check out the Zoolights. They had tons of Christmas lights all over the Zoo which put a huge smile on the boy's face. It was also nice walking around with a warm cup of spiced wine. ;)
In work news, we're currently packing up our office and preparing to move across the street into our new headquarters. It's a Gold certified LEED building about 40 stories high. We'll be on the 7th floor, which means this will be the highest altitude I have worked at. We're taking a tour tomorrow, which I am pretty excited about. Can't wait to see what my new view will be.
