Oh So Thankful

 Wow, how behind I am… This was what I wore to Thanksgiving…

I had to have a comfy outfit with comfy shoes as I was hosting and running around but luckily it was a semi chilly day in San Diego so I could still do a fall sweater…

Boots - Shoedazzle

THANKSGIVING DAY:
We cooked all morning with my little girl helping me the whole time…

The table for 12 was set the day before with the help of my sis and daughter… Collected all these pine cones and twigs and dried leaves from the parks we went throughout the week…
Pumpkins and squashes were bought…

The corn/split peas and black bean idea was from Pinterest….

With my Mom and little sister….

AND THAT NIGHT THE ELVES WERE BACK….

They made little indian hats for themselves from the kids art…

(Yes this is what I did after hosting 12 people and cleaning up…. AND THEN went black friday shopping at 8 PM Thursday Night)….

Slides - J Crew

Earrings - Cookie Lee

Sunglasses - Valentino (Nordstrom Rack)

SUNDAY:
Had a bit of a mishap saturday after the kids soccer games when I locked my keys inside my mini van.
Thank goodness one of the other dad's hadn't left yet and he gave us a ride home and we left the car there.
I just didn't have it in me to call and wait for AAA.
So Sunday morning we had to go get the car but that gave us an excuse to have a family lunch out.
Met up at my daughter's friend's birthday party after my son's baseball game…

This is Halloween

Halloween Day outfit was inspired by a look from Nordstrom's website:

The orange top with black pieces was perfect for this day...

HALLOWEEN:
Had a full day at the kids school volunteering in class as they did pumpkin stations in kindergarten then watched both classes in the school wide halloween parade and hung out with my son at the 2nd grade party…
When we came home convinced the kids for a quick shower as I did a load of laundry just to wash the costumes and had them rest for an hour before we went to my friend's house for a Halloween party then trick or treating in her neighborhood.

 I wonder how she learned to pose like this? :)

She is Skelita Calaveras from Monster High:

I did OK with the make-up right?

 My mom and stepdad...
