Giddy Up!

 What I wore to our Elementary School Gala Saturday night...
The theme was bringing country to coast!


I scored these ombre Fry boots for only $125 at 6PM.com!



 GALA NIGHT:
Dressed my hubby in a cowboy themed black shirt and borrowed my step dad's boleo for added effect. This is as cowboy as he was going to get! :)



There is something to be said about wearing boots at a cocktail party. All the ladies were so comfortable that we danced for hours and hours. Good thing they raised so much money for the school that they paid the live band over time to keep playing so we can keep on dancing...



And we did win my daughter's class art in the silent auction. She was very happy about that the next morning...

Cowboy Up


















SUMMER DAYS:
I have been posting less frequent cause it is summer and I don't dress up everyday lately. I am truly enjoying the days with the kids though. I missed my son all winter long when he is in school and it is so great to have him with me the whole day. Also because he is growing up so quickly and he is becoming so much like me that we get along more and more everyday. And he refuses to give kisses to anyone including his dad, 'just hugs' he says. But, to me he is all but kisses and cuddles. In public in front of his friends he doesn't care. So sweet.
We had pretty full days.

MONDAY was a big swim playdate at my house. In addition to our usual monday group also invited my friend and her boys so we had 11 kids! The swim time was quite loud but the kids devoured the lego cake we made following the youtube recipe my daughter found….


My friend brought her underwater camera and took some really cute photos of the kids in the pool:





TUESDAY:
Went to the outdoor class at the park.  We had another outdoor class at night but I didn't have it in me to go to another park and pack another meal. So instead took the kids to see 'How to Train your Dragon 2' movie in the afternoon and came home in time for a quick dinner before bed.

WEDNESDAY:
We went to a water park amazingly we have never been before! It used to be 'Soak City' and then got bought out by Sea World and renovated.  Glad we went this year instead of last. Cause my son has changed personalities and became a dare devil and rode every scary water slide ride he could. Because his friend was too scared to ride with him. I had to pair up with him and I was screaming the whole time when riding this!:







After we left the water park we went directly to my son's swim team practice! Then came home to immediately shower. Daddy got them take out dinner while I got ready into this outfit I am posting on top. My girlfriends picked me up to hit the new country bar downtown. We had gone to the other (the only one) country bar couple times and when we heard there is a new one downtown wanted to check it out. We book these on our busy calendars week in advance then make it happen.
The funny thing was other than me no one even listens to country. And furthermore we were a group of Korean, Russian and Turkish girls going to a country bar! We thought that was pretty funny. But as usual country bars are full of mixed people of all races and ages and all skill levels. Some dress very country like and some just wear regular clothes and kick butt with their moves.
They had lessons from 6 to 9 PM so every other song or so they would show us the moves which made it easier. They also had 4 hosts on the dance floor (these amazingly hot girls wearing cut off denim shorts and american flag tank tops) and it was easier to learn once you locked on their moves.

It was a very fun night. But after all day at the water park and hard core dancing all night I am totally out of commission today!

Wind and Sea


Memorial Day Ensemble was inspired by a look in the Boston Proper Catalog from March 2012:

This is just such a classic and classy look. I couldn't wear it to the beach but I changed into it after we came back from the sand and sun to my friend's house for a BBQ...





 These mules are ancient but of course they came back in style and I have always loved them so kept them and am so glad I did. They are comfy and easy to wear too…. The wedge is calf hair!

Hat - Next
Sweater - Forever 21

TODAY:
My son had his 5th game this morning but I stayed home with my daughter while my husband took him. We finished up cleaning and went to grocery shop for the week.
Made a salad to take to my friend's house and got the kids sun blocked and dressed in swim suits and head on out to their house which is like 5 minutes from ours. :)
But it is memorial day and the beach parking was awful. Good thing is they had moved their cars on their sidewalk so as we arrived they moved their cars to the garage and with the addition of blocking their driveway we had the perfect spots. We let the kids play for a while then walked to the beach as a group and enjoyed the perfect weather. Then walked back for a yummy BBQ dinner planning our next adventures and laughed and laughed as always…

My friend took the photos today so I don't have many except this one while the kids were screaming by the front door before walking to the beach….
