Video Explanations

So the other day Elle was slamming our armoire doors and she thought it was so funny so I tried to get it on tape and she only did it right at first and then noticed my camera and so I just taped her just being her crazy self.
Then the other video is of Eva and her friend Jackson playing Mario Party, they had no idea I was taping them, they were just so cute all excited playing games and eating grapes.

Fantasy Saturday? Why not.

So yesterday was a but busier than I had anticipated. Although I had picked out all of the items on Thursday I had no time to put it together on Friday. So without further ado I'm spotlighting Alloy.com. They have a lot of what I would call "younger" clothing but a lot of it can work at any age (mostly they have an amazing collection of jeans from sizes 0-25!).

Example A: These trouser jeans have a great cut and they come in 5 different washes from sizes 0-25!! Seriously, I think it's amazing that you can get some trendy jeans at any size. You can get these on alloy.com they are by Truck jeans they are called their Berlin Trouser jeans and are around $40.

Next up is an amazing skinny jean that again is available in a bunch of washes from acid to indigo. I think when you get a dark washed skinny any size can pull it off. Especially with a great set of heels to go with it. These are a perfect date night jean. $39-44.

Love this lace inset blouse. It also comes in this super intense purple. There are a bunch of really cute blouses on Alloy and you should totally check them out. I though this one was kind of romantic looking and unique. $29-31.

Why attempt to get into Princeton when you can get this super cute hoodie that says you did. No one will no the wiser...well maybe they will but they will never confront you. I love fall hoodies, especially when they are cut close to the body like this one $37. Speaking of hoodies this one is unique, pretty and fun. There are a LARGE assortment of hoodies at alloy.com some of them pretty funky and generation Y but I think you can decipher which ones are "too young" for you. I like this one because it has these beautiful butterfly's all over plus I know Eva would think it was cool too. I'm all about clothes that your kids would like too, which leads me to my next clothing choice, (p.s. this butterfly hoodie is $39)There are tons of "old school" tees at alloy they call them graphic tees and there's anything from Barbie to TMNT. Eva would be so proud of me if I was wearing any of them. This Batman one is $26-28. (p.s the range in cost is due to the range in sizes)And last but not least is this totally hilarious shirt paying homage to the infamous mom jean. How much of a cool mom are you when you can laugh off the mom stereotype wearing this shirt with a hot skinny jean and some heels. $19

Have a great weekend.

blahhhh

Some weeks are so blah. This has been a very blah week. I don't think I've done the dishes all week, I know, you're completely shocked.
I went to the P-town library with the girls and I'm pretty sure I saw a pedophile.
I waited for my friend Heather to come home from her 3 week long vacay and promptly kept her awake till 1am.
I got a Shade shirt in the mail.
I have to send off something in the mail...I wanted to send it off the last week of June, when it was finished but alas, it's still sitting on top of my piano, right behind the music stand so I never seen it and forget that it's there. Hopefully it will get sent off before July is over.
I didn't nurse Elle at all yesterday to see if it could indeed be done. The precursor to this is that I want to go on a nice anniversary overnight trip and my mom said she would take the girls if Elle was off the boob. So I did a trial run, indeed she can go a full day and not even blink twice, which is slightly sad...my baby isn't a baby anymore.
Eva has peed in her pants for the 2nd day in a row b/c she "can't get her pants down fast enough" which would totally be valid if it was like a hook and eye latch or a real button but both times they were pull on shorts...tisk tisk Eva, you're getting too preoccupied by activities to remember to pee. To be 4 again.
I'm now going to work on my fantasy Friday because I haven't done one in weeks and it is waaaay past due.

Beach picture's finally! This is just a ton of pics of the girls having a great time. This was Elle's first real trip to the beach. I was so excited for her to play in the sand that I didn't even bring her down to the ocean! Duh. Anyway, she still had the best time and Eva didn't want to get out of the water, it reminded me of me at that age. Total water baby.

This is a classic Elle face. She walks around making an "O" face. It's super cute.This is the sequence of her falling back and getting sand in her eyes.

Gotta love baby butt cheeks.

The best Daddy EVER!!!

Jeremy called me this morning and asked what my plans were for today, I said nothing (the usual) and we just made small talk about what went on that morning, then he walked in the front door. I said, what are you doing here? And he said, "We're going to the beach" Yay!!!!
This is SO unlike Jeremy, his idea of a vacation is sitting at home and not moving for 12 hours. So I was very excited that he came up with this and even more excited that we were all more or less ready to leave. He came home around 10am and we left before 11am. It was totally awesome. We had the best time. I'll put all the pics up tomorrow.
Thanks for the best day daddy!! Eva and Elle had such a blast and it was so nice to just get away and play in the sand and eat Coney dogs! I love you, you're amazing.
