Style Perspectives Week 3: White Pants and Hair Challenge Week 11

Hi Foxy Fashionistas! Another week of the Style Perspectives, but guess what?! It's my week to show off my White Pants look, so head on over the The Blended Blog to check out my post! Spoiler: there are 4 outfits and I styled an all white one! Sneak Peak: Look I even did my hair, go check out a close up of what I did.

Last week, everyone did fantastic with their Shades of Pink:

Onto the Hair Challenge: Week 11!

Wednesday I curled my hair and just threw I up in my favorite easy poof...I don't even know what it's called

Thursday my Mom's friend has sent me this link of a video, she wanted me to do my hair like that, it was just a simple pull through braid. I think it turned out pretty good. Next time I'll try to get the spacing a little more even.

Here it is again without the scarf, I found in the picture it was sort of in the way. But even through the tail end of it, it's all rubber bands and pull through stuff, no actually braiding happened in the making of this do. So those of you who can't braid, do this!

Saturday I tried a pull through waterfall braid.  I don't think it turned out that great, I think next time I'll have to do more "braids" so that it looks better, and pull on them a little more to make them bigger.

Sunday, before church I tried three different styles and NOTHING was working, so I gave up and tried a messy bun, which of course looks, terrible! But I went with it...

Looks good from here right? There was a little braid at the base that you can't see...

But side view, YIKES! Apparently I needed to look at the side when I looked in the mirror, oops! I later redid it and it looked much better.

Monday I tried a side braid. I realized that I like side braids on my left side, not my right side. I've always had them lay on my right side and for whatever reason when I did this it ended up being on my left and I didn't have any problems all day. So if you're having issues with your side braid try switching sides, it might just work for you too!

Despite how it looks, this really is a braid all the way down, not a twist like it looks.

Tuesday I worked from home and did this really quickly before going to my ankle doctor appointment.

I really like this, it gets it off my face and looks really pretty from the back. I thought I needed my hair to be curls for this to look good, but I think it looks good just like this.

Now go check out how everyone else styled their white pants!

Happy Birthday Mr.!

Today is Mr.'s Birthday! Happy, Happy Birthday!

I made him his favorite cake over the weekend (he really wanted it early so that he could enjoy it for several days before) I'm thinking there might not be cake left tonight when my parents come over for dinner. Which I'm making his favorite dinner, meatloaf. The kids are pretty stoked too, they started jumping up and down screaming yay when I told them what was for dinner.

I figured I would give you a list, cause who doesn't like a list of things I love about Mr.

Let's the kids do things I would never let them do:

She actually climbed up to the top...by herself, when he realized how dangerous it was and went up to retrieve her...but she thought she was queen bee for that moment in time.

Need I say more?

Puts up with all of my selfies I want to take:

Is always playing with the kids, where ever we go.

Takes pictures like this because he knows that I'll love it.

 

Loves to cuddle on any baby within holding distance. Literally he will walk into a room, wash his hands and have his hands on the baby before I even enter the house.

So if you ever want a baby cuddler/whisperer, seriously he can get any baby to stop crying, come on over and he'll hold yours and let you eat any time!

Even with our own kids, you would often times find him like this...seriously the only way I got to hold my own kids was because they needed sustanance from me.

Baby Fox

Mini Fox

Takes me out on great dates:

Yep another Selfie

Did our house shopping for us and just showed me the options and then convinced me to buy this orange house that need a lot of work. He had vision and I appreciate that.

Takes a lot of my outfits photos for me...without complaining...

And I'm always finding little gems like this while going through pictures:

Takes tons of pictures for me of the kids while I am away, because he knows I live for pictures and because he knows I miss the kids like crazy. I love the ones he gets before he leaves for work, they are just too cute together. Baby Fox is singing hush little baby to her.

Takes the kids to the doctors and the dentist because his work schedule is more flexible than mine.
Then sends me pictures like this with the caption: You said there weren't any shots...there are. 

Drives 300+ miles in one day to visit my Grandma with both kids. Trooper. And then keeps all of the kids entertained.

As you can see, I am pretty fond of this guy. I hope that he has the best birthday ever and that we get to celebrate many, many more together! I'm taking half day on Friday and we're going to a early movie and dinner! Going to see the last of the Divergent Series, we're so excited!

Weekend Recap

It seems that I haven't done one of these in a couple of weeks. I had a three day weekend, it was glorious, but that means that next week I have to work 5 days, boo! But it was a super relaxing weekend, which is how I like it.

Friday I dropped Baby Fox off at Preschool then Mini Fox wanted to see Mr. Ed our pool guy. She loves hanging out with him. She wanted to show him her new bubble gun. It made her ridiculously happy, and the bubbles ran out in 2.5 seconds. Worth it, need to go find some more bubbles.

 

After that me and Mini Fox did a few errands, went and dropped off some cookies to a friend (forgot to take pictures), went to the bank and then went to Costco. We went into the cold room at Costco and this is how she prepared herself...DRAMA QUEEN. Oh and to be that flexible again...

After I picked Baby Fox up from school I took the kids over to my parents for naptime so I could head out to the doctors. On my way back, I might have taken a detour to the mall to pick up some Easter stuff for the kids and some bike shorts for Mini Fox. Now that she's potty trained, bloomers aren't going to cut it anymore under her dresses. I picked up Mr. to go with me to pick up the kids, they love riding in the cart to the car.

My mom came over for dinner, and since she didn't have a car, my dad picked her up on the way home from and watched the end of Inside Out.

Saturday was pretty low key, this girl helped making breakfast.

Then we took the kids to the park before I had to head out to look at a venue for the Gala I'm helping organize.

 

And just this weekend this guy got brave and jumped from the highest he's ever jumped from. Yes it looked this high in person.

Saturday night I did a lot of cooking. I made Mr. his birthday cake, since I won't have time to do it on Tuesday and he wanted me to make in on Saturday so he could eat it all weekend. They kept me company while I cooked.

I just thought it was so cute, when the egg hatched she threw her hands up and said POP!

Sunday was really nice too. Church followed by me eating my very first donut in 8 years.

this girl loves her some donuts.

 

We headed home and the kids wanted to go to the park again. She's getting better at her scooter.

 

I tried to go with Baby Fox around our loop while I ran, but I ended up having to stop too much.

We went on the swings.

Mr. and this little lady went for a small hike.

 

When we met back up we went on another hike in the other direction.

 

 

We walked up to see this thing. The kids couldn't wait to get in it.

 

They are so cute.

 

Sunday night was pretty low key, naps followed by a yummy pork chop dinner. How was your weekend? If you have kids how did they handle the time change? Mine did pretty good, but we'll see how they do tonight when bed time comes.
