A hundred thousand things to see


Today's three layered combo was inspired by Bloomingdale's spring/summer catalog:

I tried to find a t-shirt that had a large graphic that matched a pop color of the blouse but did not get so lucky. This kind of worked not exactly what I wanted though....

TODAY:
Another busy fun day. Met our group at the Birch Aquarium which is actually pretty close in my area of the town. We used to have family passes there a few years ago but hadn't been since then. My daughter of course had no recollection. When we were going through the place I remembered how we used to bring the kids there when they were babies and complain how we had to lift them up to see the tanks cause they were too high up. Now of course they are so tall and we reminisced over how fast the years have gone by and how long we have known each other since our oldest ones were only 3-5 months old!
It is also nice cause now the kids are old enough where we can let them run around as long as we have a visual on them and we can all seat them at one table to eat and sit at a seperate table ourselves. Kind of nice. :)
In the afternoon I took the kids to my mom's so mom could take my daughter to ballet class while my step dad took my son to the summer reading magic show at the library while I got my hair cut and colored. I then grocery shopped for our house and my dad's and picked up the kids and went to my Dad to eat a quick dinner with him and came home just in time for bedtime!








I LOVE THIS POSE OF HER!!!!

Our crazy group of kids....

And the outnumbered brave mommies....

The gorgeous view....

I have no reason to run

 Today's outfit I wore to a work party at night...

The inspiration to combine the 'azure blue' bottom with the bright 'citrus' top came from my company's (Kika Paprika) own blog photo:

To add a bit of print I added my brown/blue/white scarf which matched it almost too perfectly!


I finally broke down and bought this coat my size even though I had one size bigger on my rack already. I definitely plan to keep it. Love the color and style...

Isn't this back detail super cute?




When I took off the jacket/scarf this was the look:

TODAY:
Morning was a playdate at the Aquarium... We hadn't been there for a year or so hence the kids were very interested. We also realized now they were all tall enough to see the tanks without us having to lift them. Time flies.
Afterwards I came home to shower and change and load up the car with work stuff. Took the kids to my friend's house who did me a huge favor by babysitting them in the middle of her crazy day so I could go to my work party while my husband played match 2 in this weekend's tennis tournament.
My party went great and he won his match! :)
