If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies

MONDAY & TUESDAY:
Monday I wasn't up for getting dressed. Totally jet lagged and no opportunity to unpack or get the house in order left early in the morning for our preschool class field trip to the Safari Park which is a 45 minute North East drive.
Every spring the park opens up their 'butterfly garden' exhibit where you enter an enclosure with hundreds of butterflies flying all around you. They land on people, bags, flowers and the floor.
The kids used to freak out and but this time my daughter couldn't wait to have one land on her. I had put a huge bow in her hair and sure enough one landed right on it…

TUESDAY:
Our outdoor class was going to safari park too today and since we already went yesterday we didn't go and I had some time in the morning to finish unpacking and four loads of laundry and getting as much in order as I can. Then picked up my mom and went to a new friend's house for lunch. She is from Turkey and joined our pre school class. She cooked amazing Turkish dishes and it was such a tasty lunch. Unfortunately we had to leave to early for my daughter's appt.
My step dad picked up my son and we met at the house. The kids had missed their grandkids so much so while they were busy playing I got the office in order and paid the bills.

This is impossible. Only if you believe it is.

 This was my outfit yesterday. I am a day behind again this week.  

My inspiration came from November 2013 issue of People Style Watch magazine:

 I loved the pop of mustard yellow over white and khaki...

Top - Ann Taylor LOFT

TUESDAY:
After two weeks of absence, we finally went to our outdoor class. Except it wasn't at a park as usual. Instead we met at a pizza restaurant before they opened for business. They let the kids make pizza than gave a tour of their kitchen. We had done this before couple years ago but of course my daughter has no re-colleciton of that so it was all brand new to her.
We then ran errands and did some Christmas shopping. There was a big melt down of my daughter on the subject of buying beauty sets but after a long discussion it passed. After we picked up my son we stopped at the library then came home for homework and dinner. Couple more meltdowns but finally everyone was a sleep. Some days are rough.
