1st Pumpkin Patch Visit

Zuri had her first pumpkin patch experience yesterday!  We went to AppleWorks with the Henson clan (Shane, Rachael, Lila, and Alana).  It was very busy and very hot, but everyone seemed to come out unscathed (maybe not the men....).

Zuri picked out her very own pumpkin.

That one will work, daddy!

Cute pumpkin for a cute pumpkin.
Here are some pics from our trip.

The sky was a perfect clear blue for these pictures!!
A pumpkin only a mother could love.
I had fun, mommy!

So much fun, I need a nap.

It was so hot, I need a cool bath.  :o)

I told you, cutest thing EVER!

7 months

I don't recall saying that these past 7 months could go by so fast.....




We found the cutest Halloween socks every at Target with Aunt Brandii on Wednesday.  Only $1.00/pair.  I only bought 2 - might have to get the others b/c Zuri loves them.  :)

Surgery follow up, stinky feet, and insects....

Zuri had her follow up appointment yesterday with the surgeon.  The drainage tubes were removed and I was advised to keep Zuri home until the wounds closed up completely and healed.  She did so well.  Much better than mommy (although I didn't cry).  I had my daddy there with me to help keep me calm.  :)  Grandpa John bought this outfit for Zuri so she told me she wanted to wear it for her appointment.



Not more than an hour after we got home, she had a dirty diaper that got her outfit VERY dirty (remember this)!!!  We had to change into another cute outfit - I mean, what outfit isn't cute on this little girl?!


Around 3, we decided to go visit Miss Claudia and Miss Elena at daycare.  They have missed Zuri so much and she has missed them.  I was bad and didn't get any pictures.  But Zuri lit up when she saw them.  That helps me know she will be okay next week when she goes back!  So on the way to see them, I was talking to cousin Tony when I saw this crazy man with his foot out the window.  I see passengers do this all the time, but never a driver!!!  He had no shoe on either - just his stinky sock.  I had to tell Tony to hold on so I could get a picture while we were stopped at the light.  :)


Okay, so today I had previously scheduled the PACE (Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam).  I didn't think about rescheduling with all that has happened with Zuri.  Well, I didn't think about it until yesterday and it was too late to reschedule.  So Aunt Junie came to watch Zuri while I took the exam.  I didn't have time to study so I was nervous.  2 hours later, I hit the results button and...........I PASSED!!!!  I am now a Registered Paralegal!!!  :)  Before the exam though, I was doing laundry when I came across this....


OMG - I freaked (but notice I had time to get my camera to take a picture.)!  Our laundry cabinet had fallen Sunday night so that's why there was stuff in the utility sink.  I was taking it all out to rinse off Zuri's dirty clothes from yesterday (remember what I mentioned above?).  I was able to compose myself and trap the big nasty spider under a cup.  Then I proceeded to rinse off the clothes.  So the spider had to deal with hot water and poo!  After rinsing off the clothes and putting them in the washer, I sprayed the spider with Lysol and......


Maybe I should become a "Registered" Exterminator.....

Don't Wake Me, I'll Wake You

That's what the PJs say that Brent picked out in Utah when we were there last August.  They are 12-18 month so we are just now able to put them on Z.  Yes, she is only 6 (almost 7) months old, but she is a big girl!  The PJs have been appropriate this week.  Zuri's normal sleeping schedule is 7pm-6am.  Well, then last Sunday/Monday happened and she got off schedule.  Tuesday night, she didn't go to bed until 10pm and woke up at 1:30am - back to bed at 3am.  Wednesday night, she went to bed at 9:45 and slept until 7am which was great!  Thursday, we were hopeful because she went to bed at 7pm.  However, she woke up at 10:30 and I was finally able to get her back to bed at 12:30.  Friday, she did the same.  Then last night, she slept her normal hours!!!!! :o)  I understand many parents would KILL for their children to sleep how Zuri did this past week, but when you are used to 7pm-6am it's hard!




 Tomorrow is her follow up with the surgeon.  The drainage tubes should be removed!!!
