Well Hello long time no read :)

Ok so its March 1st so far so good on the year 2010! Nothing exciting has been going on in our house. Sickness but no excitement. Zoey for the past little over a week has had the worlds WORST urinary tract infection. She has been a whinning crying bawl bag for days now. We took her to the doctor last monday and they gav her some super strong antibiotics so this week has been WAY better! Which is good or my sanity wouldn't have made it. February was a super busy month for us. We had Andrew's childhood friend from McKinney, Texas stay with us for awhile with his family. Then the weekend after that we had superbowl, then the weekend after that my best friend that lives OKC came in for the weekend with her hubby and their little girl Sophia (zoey's BFF by the way :) ) and then I had the Just between friends sale start this past weekend so we have been busy busy busy. So i'm in dire need of a mini vaction or just a four day weekend. :) i'll settle for whatever I can get at his point. I heard some exciting news Yesterday!!! And i'm totally excited!!! If ya dont know i can't tell ya! Moving on my cousin Blake is getting married to his awesome fiance Kelsey this June and zoey was asked to be their flower girl so she is beyond excited and i have the pictures to prove it. Well it doesn't help that some of these Barbie DVD movies she's been watching have Barbie getting married and all that jazz so she's been on a wedding kick anyways so you can see how much she was TOTALLY ENJOYING the fitting in these next pics! :) till next time! :) :)

What in the.....?

Ok this has been the week from (you know where!!). Let me start off by saying my little angel has made 3 big messes this week. One big mess every other day this week it has been hellacious!! Let's start with monday........So Zoey's at my mom's monday and I forget what she was doing but I can tell you what Zoey was doing when Nana wasn't looking ...I'll just show you


but you gotta give her some credit for not having a mirror she did pretty good she got the eye liner and eye make up in the right spot ...well almost the right spots :) but she did nail the big red Lucy Ball lips!!

Look at our proud princess showin off her make up skills :) She's said, "Look Nana, I'm a beautiful princess." and boy doesn't she look like one!!! :)


Ok you think that's bad ...the week just starts going down hill from there. Wednesday was my sister in laws birthday and we were going to dinner at around 6:45 but we had to clean work yadda yadda...so mom had to bring her to me at work. So my mom goes to take a quick a shower while she thinks Zoey is watching a movie. Mistake number 1. So my mom is still in the shower when Zoey goes into the bathroom and tells her, "Nana don't be mad at me". Mom looked and this is what she saw.




she has no shame when it come to her messes


yes this would be caramel syrup for your coffee with ground coffee on top of it. Ya sounds awesome doesn't it!! She even had it in her arm pits! It was like sand in her hair. Well my mom gets out of the shower and asks , "zoey is that dirt?" and she looks at my mom with a 'you should know look' and says, "no, it's coffee!" So my mom goes to the kitchen and this is what she finds

Yep that looks like an awesomely ginormous mess!!! Which my dad later told me took her like 3 hours to clean up and she's still finding coffee in places. So I told her I owe her several House cleanings and I would even scrub Zach's toilet and shower. But did the magic stop there ....oh no we could only be so lucky. So last night(thursday night) Me and andrew go to bed and are woke up about 10:30 to Zoey wanting to sleep in our bed so we just told her to hurry up and get in and lay down. So she did and we all went to sleep ..........or so we thought. Andrew wakes up at like 1:45am to Zoey onhis side of the bed going my fingers are stuck. So he's half asleep and goes, "your what are stuck?" and she said again my fingers are stuck....so the second response get him out of bed quick and he flips on the light and I wake up to ....."ZOEY WHAT DID YOU DDDDOOOOOOO!!!!!" So that gets me up..then I hear him in the hallway and he starts yelling and cussing so I start walking to mine and Zoey's bathroom and then I see it. I laughed at first then I realized just how bad it really was and how all over the place this mess was. I didn't get a picture of her arms and legs because i was so pissed i just started cleaning her off after she got the beating of her life. I told mom she's 3 and she just one-uped me one the evil deeds. May I remind you that this is mess number three for the week. So this is what I saw at 2am that made me lose my mind.





this is my CSI photo Can you see the Zoey foot?!?!




and yes this is my now pink red and glitter toilet. I'm not a discriminator when to comes to art but this is where I draw the line!!! I will be going shopping later to get MORE fingernail polish remover and a new toilet seat. Yay for me!! : (





But it didn't stop there we took her in the living room so we could both try to get the fingernail polish off her hands and legs and thighs and neck and face. And that's when we saw that she had gotten it on the wall behind the couch, on our intable by the couch, on the couch, on her daddy's new burton snowboarding hat, the wood floors, and oh ya her hair. So she just left a little happy trail of pink and glitter all over the house. So I cleaned what I could off the floor and got all of that up and then we started on her. Which I had to finish scrubbing off in the bathtub this morning i got almost all of it off except for some on her feet. Oh ya did I mention she got it all in my shower/bathtub but she was nice and saved the neon orange for it, and her brand new princess potty too. She just had a wonderful painting party by herself. So i will stillb e scrubbing onthis afternoon when I get home from work. And I'm sure part of saturday and sunday. So here are some pics of her great art.

here's another closer look at the toilet


here's the top of her NEW potty chair


Here's the wall behind our couch


and here's her daddy's new hat



So it ...needless to say has been a great fantastic week for me!!! yay!! I'm the S*** Queen!! Why because apparently she knows how much I love to clean her messes!!! And people keep asking why don't we have another one well if you acctually read this you'd know why I am in NO HURRY!!! 1 is enough!!!! :) thanks for reading this!! I'm sure it made your weekend!! I know it has mine!! :) :(

Almost the end of summer :(

Well summer is winding down and we only have a couple months til its jacket wearing weather. Which is awesome because that means FOOTBALL!!!! woo hoo!!! Well nothing exciting has happened this week like always.....we have been pretty defiant though!! We are on this kick now where she thinks she doesnt have to pick anything up. You'll ask her to pick up her toys or books off the floor and its this instant hissy fit!! I'm so over it, but apparently she's not. She's gotten down right nasty about it! You tell her you'll help her and she starts watching you and once you've almost got it all picked up (by yourself mind you) she's either wandered off or is using it as an oppertunity to make a huge mess somewhere else. The other night Andrew's 2 Cousins, and sister were over at our house and she had gotten on top of the tupperware storage box in her closet(the box is huge) and she was throwing all her nice good books in the floor, all her movies were out of their cases on the floor, along with her dumping everything out of her toy box. It was a HUGE mess!!! So she's trying to show off while everyones there, telling us we have to pick it up and she doesn't have to. And just beign the lovely 3 year old she is. So we kept asking her and asking her to go get her toys picked up before bed, while then she started to scream bloody murder " I DONT HAVE TO YOU DO IT!!!!" and trying to slap Andrew. Well daddy got a little fed up and told her if she didnt get busy he was going to thro all her toys away, (shes so smart) She said NO YOU WONT DADDY!! So andrew went and got a big black trash bag and started toward zoey's room.......OMGosh!!! She lost it!!! NO DADDY NO DONT THROW AWAY MY TOYS!!! so he started filing up the bag and she's in such histarics she can't even breathe. Everyone is still in the living room as this is going on ..soaking it all in!!I'm Embarrassed and she's sobbing uncontrollably ALL MY TOYS ARE GONE!!! Andrew takes it to the garage for the "trash man". And after all that she still refused to pick up her things. So needless to say she went to bed soon after that. Gotta love kids. Especially 3 year old independent fearless ones like mine!! Lord what will I do when we hit highschool?? I'm already prepared for iron bars and the windows and heck I might as well take the door off the hinges now! :) Here's some pics from the other morning as Mom & I were changing her clothes.

can you see her "doggy ears" they're coming through the sleeves of her night gown

you can see the little afro puffs ok in this one, they get better :)

this is a good view right here! :)

Cheezin big time ! :)

Cute pic of Zoey & Nana

Busy BUsy Busy as Usual

Well I have been a sewing a machine lately, as you can tell I made Hank a sweet new bed that has velcro closer and is stuffed with two pillows so I can wash it when and if we have any accidents. And he loves it!!! I have been work work workin.... its the same ol same ol. Me and Andrew are going to Houston, TX this weekend to go to a concert with our friends so that should be fun, long haul for 3 days but it'll be fun and we're hopin not to hot!!! Well this week while I was making Hank his new bed Zoey decided to throw herself a Baby Powder party in our guestroom with her barbies. Thats what the dark blurry pics are from. If you look closely at her dark denim skirt you will notice that it looks acidwashed in these pictures. There was hardly a colored spot on the front of her body, we won't even talk about the white george washington hair. :) It was fun and I still have about bottle of powder to vacuum out of the carpet. And I've already vacuumed it 4 times. It's been tons of fun trying to potty train a puppy and a 3 year old the past week I've been calling myself the sh*T Queen because it seems like everytime I clean up a Hank mess Zoey's yelling at me Mom I think I'm doin it, and she'll be standing in a puddle of pee. So I'm really thankful for wood floors and not carpet!! And boy does she love to point out Hank's messes!! MOM HE PPPEEEEDDD!! HE PEEED RIGHT THERE SEE IT MOM SEE IT!?!? That's gettin really old too!! So that about sums up my week beside dishes laundry and more dishes and more laundry and pee and more pee :) !! I did manage to make her a monster! She picked out all the fabric from the awesome stash that Aunt Beth gave me. Well Until I post again Monday!!!
