FRIDAY NIGHT:
Went out with the girls for happy hour and dinner. I pretty much just joined their already made plans last minute.
I just love having single girlfriends cause it is such an escape from my life for couple of hours.

Somewhere over the rainbow


Today's combo was inspired by the famous 'Fashioncoolture' blog:

 Love the mixture of mint with browns and animal print and of course boots...

Lace top, shorts - Forever 21
Boots - Steve Madden
Necklace - H&M

TODAY:
Went to the park with our preschool class for a potluck lunch and easter egg hunt…
The weather started all cold and chilly and even sprinkling on and off but right when we started the egg hunt the sun came out and it was perfect….
We tried to go to the indoor play area afterwards so I can get caught up but their internet went down so we left and got the car washed then picked up my son. He refused to go to swim practice so I didn't push it and they hung out and chilled. As soon as my hubby came home I escaped to meet the girls for happy hour and dinner. :)

The 5 year olds get to run out first...


Going through their loot...

The egg carton ensures they each pick only 12 eggs….

I didn't know I was lost

 Today's combo was inspired by 'Fashion Diva Design' blog: 

Simple and somewhat old school combo. I didn't have a dress so I paired a black (sheer and should have worn black undergarments I realized with the flash) top and a skirt….



This very eye catching wooden necklace was a 'Thread Show' purchase from years ago...




Top, Skirt, Belt - Forever 21
Boots - Shoedazzle
Necklace - Thread Show
Purse - DKNY
Bracelets - Cookie Lee

TODAY:
I was desperately trying to finish up the paperwork and paying bills and following up on phone calls with appointments when I realized it was too late to go to school. So we ran errands and had lunch then picked up my son and came home to meet my friend to have a long playdate and catch-up.
The whole gang went to my son's swim practice to watch him.
My daughter created an 'Easter Wonderland' in our living room which consisted of laying out every single pillow and pages of her drawings all over the living room to create a path. Then she hid who knows how old left over candy she found in plastic eggs and scattered them. She is so creative and I try so hard to not give in to my anal self that was just dying to clean it all up.
Had a nice dinner and forced a movie onto the older boys just to get them to sit down. My son who never sat down, swam over 500 yards then came home and played football with his friend and my step dad. I don't know how he doesn't collapse. He did eat the same dinner portion as the dad's though! :)

Step Up To The Plate

 Today's athletic chic combo was inspired by the 'Who What Wear' site:
 I love this mixing sporty tee with sneakers and a blazer. Except none of my sneakers really worked so I went with the fashion sneakers instead and instead of the blazer went with a knit moto jacket...








Knit Moto Jacket - Vintage
Tee - from U.S. Open (present from Hubby)
Jeans - Forever 21
Sneakers - Sketchers
Purse - Steve Madden
Watch - TJ Maxx
Sunglasses - Betsey Johnson

TODAY:
Went to the outdoor class which was a combination of a guided nature hike and easter egg hunt. So we couldn't do pretty dresses due to the hike. And we found out they removed the playground from the area we always met so didn't stay long.
Went to the City building to obtain a copy of my marriage certificate. I am trying to update my Turkish ID and apparently neglected to notify them that I got divorced and re-married! So need all sorts of docs now and pages of forms to fill out. Spent the afternoon getting that stuff ready.
Then picked up my son and we did a bit of legos with my daughter and homework with him then got them showered. But during this time I had changed into workout clothes so I can exercise as soon as they go to bed. But my son came down from his shower wearing workout clothes and said he wants to exercise with me before dinner. I didn't have the heart to say no so we did a T-25 workout with Shaun T! He hung in there occasionally commenting 'this is pretty hard mommy'.
It was so cute that he kept going the full workout. Like this kid needed to exercise (he never sits down)!
I served them dinner and went up to shower myself then got them to bed and ate after they went to bed.
