Someone is Now Three.

Yesterday, NikkiZ turned 3. Between the family gathering last night and the various birthday and Halloween related activities of Saturday, this has proven to be one of the busiest weekends I’ve ever lived through. And honestly? I’m not sure if I lived through it or not. I’m in such a daze of exhaustion that I may actually be dead. I’ll let you know.

Being that busy means, of course, that AndyZ had to screw with our sleep patterns by 1) losing his pacifier(s) (because it’s totally HIS fault you know, even though he can’t even pick them up yet, much less lose them) and 2) suffer painful gas throughout that night that wakes us up with cries AND toxic odors.

In other words? Someone has a case of the Mondays.

I took nineteen million pictures this weekend (no lie) but I will show you four from yesterday. ALL FOUR ARE FROM YESTERDAY. If you don’t count her new jammies she wore to bed last night, she had FOUR outfit changes over the course of her birthday. Essentially, every time she opened a present with clothes (real or dress-up) in it, she had to get naked and put it on.

Life with this kid is anything but boring.

    Happy Birthday!!

    Looks like a lot of fun. I LOVE that balloon photo.

    Tell AndyZ to discover his thumb instead. It’s much more fun than a regular old paci. Ha,ha. My little one has found hers and at night we must be sure to roll the pj sleeves down so she can find it. Of course in a year or so if she’s still doing it I’ll be complaining but for now? Awesome.

    Now go get some caffeine & try to slow down a bit. I joke the only time I get any rest is at work. Ha,ha!

    Aah but Amanda sucking your thumb makes your teeth messy – my brother sucked his thumb and had to have braces as did I but I just had wonky teeth in the first place.

    That first outfit is too cute! Here’s to a quick post-birthday recovery.

  14. Hip hip horray for three!
    (Although there’s something about her expression in the balloon photo that makes her look very grown up!)

  15. Maria says:

    Miss Zoot: Won’t you PLEASE share your Velveeta recipe? I’m dying here! :-)

  16. Fraulein N says:

    It looks like it was lots of fun. Busy, but fun.

  17. Courtney says:

    I swear that I end up leaving the same comment every time I leave one, but seriously? You gotta stop with the cuteness or I’m going to squee all over myself.

    Which totally sounds dirtier than I meant it.

  18. Jerri Ann says:

    Please do not be fooled, the terrible twos were merely a lead up to the horrible threes and holy cow the f(*&% fours…..help me before I burst

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
