OOTD: Monday + Starbucks Mini Haul

We had quite the eventful night last night. While I was making dinner it got incredibly hot inside the living room/ kitchen. I assumed it was because I had three burners and the oven on. Nick took a fan out of our bathroom and placed it in the kitchen as well as turning on the stove vent. But nothing seemed to help. Even as I was putting Zoe to bed I was hot. After that Nick went to check the thermostat because I never complain about it being too hot inside the house. He discovered the air conditioner wasn't working! The fan was on but it was not blowing cold air. He went up to the attic to change the filter hoping that would work. Nothing. Then he went outside to look at the unit. Nothing. Then he tried switching the circuit breaker off and on. Nothing. We gave up because it was getting late (and we have no experience with a/c). So we turned up all the ceiling fans and put an oscillating fan in Zoe's room. Nick stayed home from work today so we called two different companies to come out. Luckily, one company was able to come around 1:30 and fix it. I was at the grocery store with Zoe but Nick told me an animal chewed through a wire! It never got unbearably hot, I got cold while I was sleeping but I'm glad to have it fixed. Nothing bothers me more than broken stuff, especially around the house!

Zoe and I went to the grocery store today while Nick stayed home to wait for the air conditioner to be looked at. I snagged the last fun shopping cart (you know with the little car in the front) for Zoe. She happily sat in the driver's seat with a snack and some toys. Those things are a pain in the rear to maneuver. We stopped by Starbucks first (shocker!) and I noticed a bunch of carts with boxes. They were putting new merchandise on the shelves! I was drawn to the hot pink dome lid of this cup and I knew it would be perfect for summertime (anytime, really). I already have two tall and two grande sized frappuccino cups but I HAD to have this larger size. After getting home from the grocery store we decided to stay in. It was supposed to rain a lot again but we just had a tiny bit of a drizzle. So we all just had a cozy night in!

Here is my new 24 ounce cup. It came with a hot pink dome lid, a light green flat lid, and an extra long straw.

And I also got some cold to-go ice cubes!

Zoe playing with Pixie. Actually she was rubbing a toy all over Pix.

I love my husband for taking my OOTD photos but I don't love it when he snaps pics of me getting ready!

OOTD: Friday + Target Mini Haul + Naps, or Lack Thereof

I have been struggling with getting Zoe back on schedule since Monday and today she is REALLY back on track! Yesterday I did not get much done. Zoe slept well (about 11 hours) and we went to story time at the library. I didn't get any pictures of Zoe because another little girl kept trying to take away her keys (actually MY keys with a Hello Kitty keychain). So I was watching them both like a hawk. Zoe didn't seem tired but we left because I knew I had things to do around the house and errands. The little stinker fell asleep in the car so she must have been exhausted. I tried putting her down in her crib but she wasn't having it. She played in her crib for about an hour and when she started fussing I went to get her. So I let her play and then we ate lunch. I let her play again and put her down at 2:30 which is totally not her second nap time but I knew she was tired. She fell asleep immediately and I thought she would sleep 2-3 hours. Boy was I wrong. She only slept 30 minutes. I'm guessing this was because she was over tired. She fussed for 30 minutes so I went to get her. She played, got fussy and I tried to get her to go to sleep on me. We repeated this process a few more times. My saint of a husband brought dinner home and Zoe played a bit after eating before finally going down in a blaze of glory at 8:15. Whew- that was a longer story than I anticipated!

I'm happy to report that Zoe slept 11 1/2 hours last night, took a 2 hour morning nap and is currently taking her afternoon nap (YAY!). I tweaked the times a bit so I think that helped. We were on our way home from Target and I saw her dozing off so I found the most obnoxious music I could think of and blasted it. She takes after her father and I and is annoyed by rap and newer Madonna.

Happy girl after her afternoon nap!

It's getting more difficult to get a good picture now that she is walking so quickly! 

Silly girl after chasing Pixie around the kitchen table.

Today I tried out beachy waves. I don't wash my hair every day so this was a fun way to break up the monotony. 

Here is Zoe's mini haul from Target- Momma straw cup, monkey harness (Now that she is walking I would prefer for her to wear this in public. I don't care what you think of me. I would rather out my kid on a glorified leash than have her get lost or kidnapped), BabyGanics sunscreen stick (great for the diaper bag), Munchkin corner bath organizer, Boogie Wipes in grape (love these things).

And my mini haul- Revlong sparkly nail file, Goody Ouchless elastics (last time I tried to find these they had every color but brown so I bought I weird combo pack), Gud body lotion in Floral Cherrynova (LOVE this scent!), Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer (I've never tried this before), and Pixi Wakeup Concealer.
