Soccer mom

I read on line that my womb was the size of a soccer ball at 26-27 weeks and got this idea. Fortunately with a Pro photographer for a husband and a friend who is an amazing artist I was able to accomplish my "goal" and it's a SCORE!!!!!


sorry!

So after tuesday you may notice that zoe did nothing... or at least nothing was reported. I'm sad to say her mommy got soo busy she just couldn't hack it.

Here are a few pictures to make up for it:


Zoe played in the yard.


She had baths



She picked her mommy a ton of bouquets of flowers.

so that's a few...

Zoe's Tuesday

Tuesday Zoe slept in. For her mommy this means that Zoe awoke at her "old" schedule of 9:15 instead of the 8 or 8:15 she had reset her clock to while in Burnaby visiting Grama & Papa. The funny thing is it threw her mommy for a loop, because her mommy was then rushing to get breakfast ready, teeth brushed, her own self showered and fed by the time Dakota came over for science. And to make it even more funny, Dakota showed up 10 minutes early so mommy was just stepping out of the shower and drying off when Zoe answered the door... oh right this is about zoe.

Zoe had cereal for breakfast and played, watched a little TV, dumped bubbles all over the porch and herself and got soo hot she asked if mommy could take off all her clothes because she was too hot. Mommy put Zoe in a bathingsuit and let her play, then both zoe and mommy went and enjoyed sprinklers and a picnic in the back yard until mommy had to go to work.

Zoe watched "a series of unfortunate events (half of it) had a nap, watched the rest of it, had dinner and watched Cheaper by the Dozen 2 with her mommy until it was over. Then zoe and mommy walked home in the cool evening air and stopped at the park to swing on the swings and try not to get bitten by mosquitos. Daddy arrived home, and zoe headed off to visit Aunty Jerrilyn with him while mommy went home to write this blog.

Zoe and Daddy came home at 5 to 9 and got ready for bed. Zoe had the joy of having her daddy read her a bed time story (Roar) and then brushed her teeth and headed off to bed at 9:20pm. Good night zoe, good night readers.

Zoe's Monday

Awake at 8:15 Zoe came to wish her mommy "good morning" and ask if she could watch TV. Zoe had hot chocolate and watched TV for awhile until her mommy got her act together and made pancake breakfast. Zoe ate two whole apple banana pancakes topped with more apples, bananas and yogurt. She then got dressed, brushed her teeth and played dressups and "fort" while her mommy took care of some house work and taught chemistry to Dakota (Zoe's cousin).

Zoe then got to ride in her Aunty's big TRUCK to the police detatchment where her aunty works for Victims Services. There while Zoe's mommy dealt with financial details for the upcoming youth event (what a lot of time her mommy spends on that stuff), Zoe hung around the police station, got to eat cucumbers and apple sauce and visit with Val. Zoe wanted to know where the other guy was (Corporal Kirt Peats - head honcho aka the other guy) and was told he was out at a meeting.

After lunch Zoe and mommy went to the bank, to the post office and to the grocery store to get a pogo stick (deepfried battered hotdog on a stick) and some turkey pepperoni for mommy. Then Zoe walked to Todd's house (where mommy works) and got to stop at the park to play for a little while. After nap time Zoe spent more time outside jumping on the trampoline with Joel (12 yr old boy who mommy nannie's) until Joel's friend came and took over the trampoline. Zoe, true to her nature, had just as much fun watching the older boys do flips and then came inside to eat dinner and watch "A series of unfortunate events" while her mommy folded laundry. When a scary part was showing zoe cuddled on mommy's lap until she felt less scared.

Returning home from work zoe had a bath, and her mommy stayed and blew monster bubbles with a straw on the side of the tub for zoe to pop. Zoe wanted one on her tummy and mommy blew two on Zoe's belly. Then it was time for hair brushing and braiding for the night, hot chocolate, teeth brushing, stories and bed.

That was monday.

Zoe Withdrawl?

So it's monday and i promised that I would give reports on a daily basis of what zoe has been doing, and already I'm a day behind!

Zoe awoke on Sunday morning at 5:30 with bad dreams. She was tucked back into bed and then SLEPT IN to 8:35am before getting up and wishing us all good morning (her favorite salutation). After a dressing in a summer outfit (pink sleeveless dress) for church she ate most of her cereal and cantaloup peices and got rushed off to the car for church. At church she missed seeing her cousin Dante but got to see her friend Anna, and tried to sing twinkle twinkle little star during connecting service (unfortunately she only know the first two lines).

After church she went shopping with her mommy and daddy and was sooo very excited to show mommy the flower bouquet she herself picked out for mother's day for her Mommy. It had blue and pink and yellow flowers (blue tinted daisies, pink carnations and yellow mums) as well as a happy face "bayoon". She then returned home with her Daddy (mommy went to work for 2 hours) and ate all her chicken, all her perogies and half of her daddies chicken too.

Affer a nap Zoe got to go outside and play at the Webb's, eat pizza and watermelon while her parents had a meeting indoors.
Then rushing home from that to go and play with Dante (who had returned home from Prince George) before bed. Bed time was a little late and crazy for her because her mommy was busy with fundraiser details with another mommy. But Zoe got a treat because the teen daughter (Jen) read Zoe 101 dalmations and zoe got to give and get over 20 hugs and kisses before going to bed at 10 pm.

That's sunday. Usually the busiest day for all our family.
