TUESDAY:
Oh my goodness, this was a crazy day. My son complained about a tooth ache so I had made a dentist appointment in the morning. But then last night we discovered a rash on him so since he was already missing school in the morning I added a pediatrician appt to.
While we were there we also decided to get their flu shots which turned into a nightmare when my daughter found out she was getting a shot. (We have to do a shot so we don't get my dad sick).
She was hilarious as she left the dr's office and then hung onto the shut door so we couldn't open it to get her. It took two nurses and myself to hold her down to get the shot. My son on the other hand just made this silent scream face for a second and it was done. Afterwards she was telling everyone how it just hurt for a second and it wasn't a big deal!
After barely getting my son back to school by lunch time we went home for lunch ourselves then went to pick up the new prescriptions and I got my flu shot at a drug store clinic. Then it was to the lab. Lots of needles today.
After all that we only had an hour before had to go back to pick up my son. THen we got his hair cut and by the time we hot home and started this complicated homework that involved playing dominos it was dinner time and I hadn't cooked. My hubby came to the rescue with take out greek and we called it a night!

Sugar Plum Fairy


 My outfit last night as I attended a board meeting for planning a fundraising event for a non profit organization. You will see the outfit I wore earlier in the day. I swapped the tulle skirt with the cream mini from my line and added this soft tweed cardigan and a belt.

WEDNESDAY:
Our trip to the ballet was great. We read the book twice a few nights before the performance so my daughter knew the story plus she has been taking ballet for a few months now so we kept identifying the moves. We got lucky and sat in the very front row which was awesome. I watch pretty much solely their feet so front row seats were perfect.
It was such a pleasure sharing the experience with my daughter. Her favorite part was the dances in the 'land of sweets' and the 'sugar plum fairy'.
