THURSDAY:
My son's class had flag day in the morning…

Then in the afternoon, we had my daughter's skating lesson followed by a casual b-day dinner for my mom….

These are the moments that I'm gonna remember most

Yesterday's inspiration was an old one I think from 2011:

I have been wanting to wear this combo it is just a bit too warm for our city so the opportunity did not present itself until now. Even yesterday I had the jacket off most of the time….

Jacket - Thrifted but Forever 21

Top, Pants - Forever 21

Booties - Victoria's Secret

Necklace - Cookie Lee

SATURDAY:
This was a crazy weekend with my daughter's birthday party one day and my father's celebration of life service the next day. I guess that is what life is all about. Good memories and bitter sweet moments. Birth and death all together.

Here is my princess ready for her party….

My daughter's party was a trampoline place that we had never been before and the kids loved it. We co-hosted with my friend our third year in a row…

Our Party Favors:

The brothers:

And after the party we came home so she can open her presents and relax for a very short while then the family who is in town from all over the country for my Dad's service came over for a low key dinner at our house and to hang out together. My kids have been so waiting to spend time with their uncle so they were so happy when he came early to play with them. My cousin is in town and my aunt again and my sister in law and nephew and her parents were all there.
I had an all costco meal that consisted of steak and salmon and Turkish side dishes like stuffed grape leaves and quina salad and asparagus and two types of salads.
It was a great evening that ended with going over the slide show my brother had finalized…

my wonderful cousin and aunt. they are both amazing cooks so instead of steaming the asparagus had her show me the pan version with garlic which comes out so good.

My sister in law and I with our mothers….

Just Dad is missing from this gathering! But he was always with us in spirit….

Good as gold

 Playing catch-up once again...This was my outfit Monday....

The inspiration was from Oct 2011 issue of In Style Magazine:

I liked this unusual combination of mustard and magenta. 

Aren't you just loving this structured mustard tote!? I got it at Charming Charlie store when I was exchanging couple items I got for my b-day that didn't fit. It looks so cool!

My new hobby of collecting quality bracelets continue... This is from LOFT....

 As it was chilly I topped off the whole look with brown leather jacket and of course unfortunately swapped off the platform booties with regular flat boots. 

 Top, Pants, Shoes, scarf - Forever 21

Purse - charming charlie's

Bracelet - LOFT

MONDAY:
It was so hard getting up and getting back into routine after a week off. Kids were happy to be back at school. We went to the indoor play area in the afternoon so my daughter can attend her gym class and I did homework with my son. Much better environment for homework we have found out...

Here are some photos from SUNDAY we spent at home...

My son is obsessed with this Marble track toy. He builds amazing tracks everyday....

And here is all of us playing this new game I bought as a recommendation of our outdoor class teacher.
Called the 'Pretty little princess' It is more fun to play as a family cause the kids were having a blast seeing daddy put on jewelry! My husband won and had all the pieces on but I won't post a photo of that so he won't divorce me! :)
