Monkey Boy

Monkey Boy... is the name we gave to the blow-up monkey that Tom won for Charlotte at the carnival tonight! Char has 2 other toys also named Monkey Boy. I guess I'm not too creative when it comes to naming monkey toys!


So Char's 1st carnival was a great success. She was really excited to see so many people. It was mobbed. A band was playing, and she LOVED the music. I LOVED the food. I'm sure you're shocked. I had a hot dog... and cheese fries... a lemonade... and a caramel apple with peanuts. On our way home, I decided what I'll get when we go again on Thursday night... probably a cheeseburger, another lemonade (I'm on a lemonade kick)... and definitely a funnel cake... oh, and maybe some cotton candy. YUMM... YUMM... YUMM!

Here are a couple pics of me and Char on the merry go round...

Retro or Ridiculous?

I'm looking for a more casual dress for a more casual wedding we're going to this Friday night. I picked up this dress today at Target ($20 on the clearance rack). I'm just not sure if it's retro or if it's just plain ridiculous.




I have these Nine West silver heels that I really want to wear...


Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone?

White Weddings & White Legs

Saturday we had a wedding to go to... the bride's parents have been friends with my husband's family for years. I love going to weddings, because I love having an excuse to get dressed up. For this wedding, I had a few options... I had a blue/green floral chiffon Ann Taylor dress from last year that I could wear with gold sandals, but I wanted to get something new (this is usually the case with me). I first picked up a royal blue Calvin Klein number and found some really "edgy" Nine West silver heels to pair with it. However, at the last minute, on Friday, I felt like the cut of the dress was too boring. So my Mom, Charlotte, and I ran over to the mall. We had to walk through JC Penney's to get to the actual mall, and my Mom suggests to me that I should look there. I've never bought anything from Penney's... well, that's a little lie... I did buy a couple pair of materntiy shorts... but that's it :)

So, anyways, lo and behold they have a TON of dresses.... I grabbed about 5 to try on in 15 minutes, and the last one I tried on was actually really cute! I ended up wearing it.... So, my lesson learned is never to underestimate JC Penney's! Here are a couple pics of the dress.



My 2nd lesson learned is that I need to do something about my hideous pale legs... running... tinted lotion... something!

We have another wedding to go to this Friday night. The couple got married a few weeks ago in Jamaica, and this will be a more casual reception for family & friends now that they're back home. The big question of the week will be do I wear my "new" JC Penney number or do I buy something new??
