This weekend was a little bit more eventful. My mom was visiting, and during a break in the lousy weather, we decided to take Zoey to the public library for the first time. Holy wow! She was in heaven! It's well documented that the kid loves loves books and being read to. She goes nuts in Barnes & Noble and the library was no different. Running up and down the aisles randomly pulling out books and DVDs. She was so cute!
On Sunday, after a late night and triple overtime in the Florida game (Gators FTW!!), the Hubs, Z and I needed to get ourselves out of the house. So what if it was minutes from nap time (parents of the year, folks!!)? Since it's still so hot here (no fair to everyone enjoying gorgeous fall weather right now), we bummed around the mall for a while. Exciting stuff, I know.
After the mall, we headed to our favorite little froyo joint. This was Z's very first taste of froyo...with rainbow sprinkles to match her dress, of course! I think we all know that the froyo was a hit.
To our surprise, Z zonked out in the carseat just minutes from home. Typical. So we cruised over to the inlet to watch the boats, though the people watching is way better. (I once saw a woman walking a cat on a leash there. Who does that?!)
We headed home and watched a little football before the power went out - during the last quarter of the Packers game! With no way to cook, it was Jersey Mike's and PB&J by candlelight.
Z didn't appreciate the romance of a candlelit dinner. Not sure if she was freaked out by the dark all around or the flickering candles, but she just wasn't having it. The FPL guy walking around out front with a headlamp and flashlight didn't help either.
Thankfully, the power came on after a while and life was back to normal. Bed time for the bambino and vegging out in front of the TV for us. Life is good!
Any excitement in your weekends? Football, froyo, and power outages spell excitement for us!
