Aprilextravaganza Take One
April is a busy birthday month for us because my younger son and daughter both have birthdays two weeks apart in April, so we get both their birthday parties done in one weekend. Today was Conner's and tomorrow is Brielle's.
Don't worry. It didn't snow today. These were from last week's blizzard. You can tell by the annoyed look on my face. The sun has been shining for three days now and thankfully melted all 10 inches of snow off the ground like it was never here. Which was perfect because both of the kids have bouncy houses delivered here for their parties.
I tell ya, I wish I had a bouncy house permanently installed in our backyard. Not only did Conner have friends come to the party, but their siblings (some of whom were younger sisters and invited to attend Brielle's party tomorrow as well) and our families of course. So we probably had a dozen kids here as well as a dozen adults.
It could not have been better executed though. The perfect amount of adult to kid ratio, plenty of help setting up and cleaning up, the kids were perfectly content between toys and bouncy houses and trampoline and food. I made a DIY fruit pizza station that was a hit!
And tomorrow we will do it again. It's a hectic weekend. It's exhausting and you clean the same thing 100 times, but it is so much fun. I love the kids being able to be kids and spending time with my family. Looking forward to tomorrow! (But not so much Monday.)

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
