There’s never a dull moment in the Zottola house.
I was in the kitchen yesterday and thought Sadie was playing in her room with Niva, but it turned out they were in mine and Jimmy’s room, eating the rest of Jimmy’s bottle of melatonin gummies.
To say I was nervous one or both of them could get really sick would be a huge understatement. I called Sadie’s pediatrician and they had me talk to Poison Control. I was assured Sadie would be fine, maybe just drowsy. Same with Niva.
And you know what, they were totally fine. Me, on the other hand? I feel like I should have a head full of gray hair, LOL. Those two certainly keep me on my toes! I’m thanking God everything was okay and we are now keeping the melatonin somewhere far, far away from those two 😉
Other activities as of late:
We filmed a vlog last week! It involves a Starbucks date, homeschool, cleaning up after Niva’s antics, and a major case of the giggles from Sadie at the end.
I had a wolf and a husky join me for lunch on Saturday. I think they were hungry because they wouldn’t stop staring at me and my sandwich 😉
Sadie calls them Niva and Baby Niva and won’t go to sleep without them. It’s the cutest ❤
We’ve had some warm days here and there, so walks have been happening. Sadie is super into picking out her outfits lately and this one was pretty cute. She insists on wearing her rain boots everywhere, all. the. time.
It’s so much fun to take walks with Christmas decor out because Sadie gets so, so excited. Everything is super cool to her and I love seeing the world through her point of view. We drove around and looked at Christmas lights the other night and she was oohing and ahhing left and right!
We’ve done some baking lately! I whipped up a batch of cowboy cookies and we made Paw Patrol sugar cookies together. I picked up a Paw Patrol baking kit the night I went shopping alone and it was a huge hit!
Jimmy and I always laugh about Sadie’s love of Paw Patrol. She is terrified of the show, but she loves looking at pictures of the characters, lol.
Well, I better get this day started. I’m kind of hoping it’s nice and dull after yesterday!
Living My Full Life 
Looks like you guys have been having a great time, except for the melatonin!
Love 💕 you!
Dad

Yes, all good stuff minus the melatonin incident, haha! Love you! ❤
Aw so glad everything was okay, Allie! They sure do keep you on your toes! How cute with the Paw Patrol cookies! Have a great week, friend 🙂
Oh yes they do! And the cookies were so much fun to make! Hope you’re having a great week, Mackenzie!
Ahhh! Poison control!! How scary! But I’m so glad they were both totally fine!
Aww, Sadie’s giggles at the end of that vlog are just precious! ❤
I was shaking when I called! And then shaking with relief that everything was okay, haha!
Thanks for watching the vlog! I am so glad we have those giggles on camera to cherish 🙂
I’m glad Sadie and Niva were both fine! I watched your vlog just now and her giggles really made me smile. 🙂
It’s been pretty mild weather for the time of year, so I’ve been going on walks before work in the morning. I would love some snow for Christmas but I don’t think we’ll get any here!
I’m so glad they were okay, too! Whew. What an experience, haha. I’m so happy to hear that Sadie’s giggles gave you a smile!
Yay for walks in the mild weather! Hoping you get some snow for Christmas, though!
