WEDNESDAY:
Went to my son's class poetry presentation and holiday breakfast celebration in school early in the morning.
They used thesaurus to reflect all sorts of adjectives that depicted feelings of holidays and winter.
And the teacher lets them run the whole show all by themselves and it is amazing how great they do.
The breakfast was delicious as well.
Afterwards I ran more errands in and out of the house before my daughter got out of school early and then we both went back to take over the Wednesday boys playdate on campus. Every wednesday a group of my sons' friends get together for an hour or so to play at school while one of the mom's stay to supervise. We take turns so it is a great way for them to get together.
AFter which we brought of the friends to our house for them to have a playdate there while I continued to get things done as I hosted my book club at night at our house.
And I am crazy I know but came up with this book club ornament idea for all of us to create together.
Saw it on Etsy selling for $45 a piece and figured a group of mom's are just crafty enough to take it on.
They came out just adorable and now we'll remember 19+ books we read together….

Busy days of trying to get last minute things done before the kids are out of school and our backyard is in full construction and kids have ton of school celebrations.
In the afternoon met up with my sister and went to my daughter's classroom for their winter sing presentation. It was just the most adorable thing. Because, my daughter sings like she is on stage solo performing even though she is with her whole class and standing in second row in a corner. You have to see her facial expressions as she totally reflects the emotions of the lyrics and dances out to the songs. It is just a pleasure to watch.

The days are long but the years are short

 Who can really say when I wore this outfit? The days are becoming a blur when I posted so many days later… I try to schedule them now for each night cause I am just so tired at night to log on and during the day I have very little time… I don't know how so busy I am cause the kids are in school a portion of the day but I have to prep for the crazy schedule when they get out so I have to cook dinner and prep snacks and bags and clothes they are going to need for the after school activities and my own food. And it just leaves very little time after I pick up around the house and clean up and get dressed myself plus exercise… It is just crazy….

Inspiration was from the 'Not Dressed as Lamb' blog:

I adopted the concept of graphic sweater over an aqua skirt with cognac boots and purse and a cool fedora. I didn't have a navy fedora so used the brown one which kind of goes with the cognac shoes and purse...

Hat - Jessica Simpson

 Totally behind at this point. I had a great outfit on Monday but never had a chance to take photos and thought I would take them at my work party but of course there was never a time. 

This was my outfit yesterday (Tuesday)... The inspiration was from last fall's 'westfield' magazine...which was given to us at one of the Westfield malls during Fashion week....

Mixing my fur collar knit vest, the new lucky hat and my eggplant kika skirt... :)

This whole trend of rings on every finger is coming back. It was a trend when I was back in high school so I have a whole box of pure silver rings from Turkey from that era....

Hat - Lucky

Vest - LOFT

Lace top , Necklace, tights - Forever 21

Skirt - kika Paprika ('Brit' in eggplant)

TUESDAY:
Went to a museum somehow we have never been called 'Museum of Man' with our outdoor class.
It was a bone chilling cold day I keep thinking the weather changed for good and do not check the forecast and get caught wearing either too heavy or too light.
Anyway once we were indoors it was fine. My daughter really gets along with two girls that are twin sisters. So naturally we hung out together and when we left the museum and faced the bitter cold again we pleasantly ran into this outdoor cafe with heating lamps a warm lunch menu and a serene fenced in lawn for kids to run around while we sipped hot tea. It was like a mini vacation. :) Which I needed since my day was followed with costco shopping and then hosting a work party at my house.

In Egyptian Dress Up clothes

 In the play area to mimic a market place where they barter goods.... Kids are sailing on the wooden boat...

Then there was a whole section for kids to experience having disabilities like prosthetic arms or legs or hands and being blind or in a wheel chair....

And at night at my work party with my friend who hosted it:
