Friday night was so good. We actually went on a legit date, dinner, movies, dessert and all that. After the sprint that was last week, and all it’s craziness, a night out was just really necessary. Has anyone else seen Captain Phillips? Holy amazing. I was shaking at the end, and I’m thinking Tom Hanks is looking at yet another AA nomination…
Anyways, yesterday marked the start of the birthday blitz which is October; 3 of my kids and a whole bunch of other family members have birthdays this month, and it is crazy, and fun and also expensive (let’s be real). Carter turned 8 yesterday, which is kind of a big deal. Especially since he’s getting baptized in a few weeks, yay! Sometimes, when I think about how old my kids are getting I want to cry into my pillow, but also they are growing into such fantastic little people and it’s really, really fun to get to watch that. I’m finding that so much of life is bitter-sweet.
BTW, these are probably the most comfortable pair of pants on the planet, just in case you were wondering. I ordered them knowing that they would probably be too big and too long, and when they arrived they were. But then I put them on and they were so soft and drapey they were worth a little reconstruction. A quick slim and shorten and these stubby little legs of mine have never been happier.
Track Pants: WAYF via Nordstroms (slimmed and shortened by me.) Blouse: J Crew Factory. Heels: Enzo Angiolini. Clutch: TJMaxx. (similar) Necklace: Old. (this one’s fabulous.)
