Busy Thursday

Today Zoe and I were busy! We started our day early by going to story time at the library. Of course, I was running late and it was packed. But we got to sit right next to Miss Judy so Zoe enjoyed that. She spent most of her time walking around picking up random toys. She lightly bumped into a little boy at one point. They gave each other a funny look that made me and the other dad laugh. While Zoe took her morning nap I tackled a ton of laundry. I washed three loads of clothes today and I don't even know how many things I folded or hung up.

We didn't have any leftovers from last night so I decided we should have lunch at Zoë's Kitchen. I also had a coupon so we got a little discount. I was really surprised to see that it wasn't busy at all and there were plenty of tables to choose from. After lunch we stopped by Target to get a few things for this weekend. I ended up getting more than I needed though. Isn't that always how it goes at Target? Our cashier even commented that we are there all the time. I went to her line because she is one of the ladies who is always nice to Zoe.

I  took a break from laundry when we got back home and played with Zoe. But I was back at it while she took her afternoon nap. I was still putting things away by the time Nick got home. I finally finished after Zoe went to bed!

Zoe dancing. :)

So I'm not actually wearing any sandals here. It was the end of the day and I just didn't feel like putting them on for a picture. I have worn them many times before so everyone knows what they look like.

OOTD: Thursday

Today was story time at the library. It was a packed house but I'm guessing that was because some kiddos are out of school for the summer. Zoe enjoyed it, as usual and carried her two books around the entire time. I ate lunch and did some laundry while she took her first nap. After I gave her lunch we played around the house. I also fit in some more laundry and cleaning during that time. I started dinner while she took her second nap (tacos and Spanish rice from scratch). Zoe took her time eating (actually she was dumping the contents of her plate onto her try and the floor) so I was able to run a load of dishes in the dishwasher. Nick played with her for a bit before he went to get more pictures of the three planets. She seemed tired so I put her down early and folded more laundry (yes, MORE). She played quietly for almost an hour and just fell asleep. I also gave myself a coconut oil hair mask and had a glass of red wine- cheers!

So this is what I wore to story time at the library today. I knew I was going to wear the hat because I wouldn't have time to wash my hair in the morning. I actually wore a v-neck short sleeved shirt but I got a chocolate stain on it so I took it off to remove the stain. I like this tank better though. I don't know why the hat looks so odd in this picture. I promise it looks better in person! Also, the flip flops weren't comfortable for sitting on the floor either! Next time I will just go barefoot.

OOTD: Story Time

Today Zoe and I just went to story time at the library but I wanted to share the few pics I got of her (of course I forgot my phone when we went to the library) and this meatloaf recipe. I love this version instead of the ketchup one. I tried to find one that resembled the one I make and this was the closest I could find. I don't use veal or pork, no hot sauce, and no heavy cream. I also add regular mustard. I use bacon bits instead of real bacon and I use bread slices instead of bread crumbs. This recipe can also be made with ground turkey. If you use grass fed beef make sure to adjust the cooking time as it cooks much faster than other kinds of meat. This is always a hit in our house!

So sorry but this is the only shot I could get of my outfit. My husband (who normally takes my pictures) was at happy hour and I put on my pj's before he got home. The shoes I wore are below. And, for the record, they were not comfortable for story time because the little buckles were uncomfortable to sit on.

OOTD: Thursday

The cold front is still here so I had to dig out a long sleeved short. I paired the grey top with the neon jeans so my look would be more springy. Zoe and I went to story time at the library this morning and had a great time playing and talking with other moms. After that we took a quick trip to Target (I promise I'm not affiliated with them in any way, I just go there A LOT). Zoe won over all of the cashiers and they gave her a sticker which promptly went in her mouth. After her nap, my lunch, and her lunch we went outside to play because it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Today was COLD! I was not a happy camper. But I had to brave the elements for Story Time and Target. Every Thursday morning Zoe and I go to Story Time at a local library. Zoe loves the songs, books, and interacting with all the other kids. I have to dress cool and comfortable because it gets hot with all those kids running around and I'm sitting on the floor most of the time. So, even though it was cold I opted for comfortable flats and threw on my army jacket over my outfit.

Here we are with our matching army jackets after errands today.

And here is an exclusive Zoe photo, as promised!
