story time

Our life has a pretty crazy schedule. Ben goes to school full time and works full time. That doesn't leave a lot of time for home. Some terms are better than others. His schedule this term isn't too bad. We get to see him every morning and every night right before the kids go to bed. There are a couple of other times during the week that we get to sneak an hour or two here and there. He is great about making the best of his time with the kids. He gives them all sorts of love and attention. He is pretty much the best dad! I think I have mentioned before that he has been reading Harry Potter to the kids. We love story time! Ben is a great reader! He does all the voices and gets very into it. It is so fun to listen to him and to watch the excitement in the kids. Mostly just Jackson. Dutch has a harder time sitting still and listening. Though her and Jackson play Harry Potter all day long and she seems to know a lot about it. I love that my kids love Harry Potter. They love books! Here are some pictures of the family at story time. I uploaded instagram to Ben's i phone and played with it for the first time. I like it.  

Can I wear this???

So I moved AGAIN. Moving is the pits and really stresses me out for a long time before and after. During this move our camera finally gave out completely. To me no camera means no blogging. My husband has i phone so that all of the big moments have been captured. I don't know how to easily get those pictures from there to here. Especially since it is with him all day long and I can't play with it to figure it out. On the other hand I do not have an i phone. But my phone does have a camera. I capture lots of kid moments on it but the quality is not great. And it takes a lot of work to get the pictures on to my computer, so it's not something I really do. I also use it to take pictures of myself and send them to my sisters to ask if what I am wearing is acceptable. You see, I used to live with my sister and I got used to her being right there to tell me. Now I am not sure. I want to be stylish yet age appropriate. I wouldn't mind being a bit daring but I get nervous and just can't do it sometimes without a little push. I thought it would be fun to share. I usually send the pictures to my sisters Katie and Kallie. Kallie almost always tells me no and Katie almost always tells me yes. She actually tells me that she wouldn't but that I can. So I put it to you. Can I wear this? The top two I wore. The rest I didn't.

I wasn't sure about the bright earrings with the bright scarf. I was wearing really bright shoes that had both colors in them. 

My new circle scarf that my friend made me. I love it!

You can also wear part of it as a hood if you want. I wouldn't wear it  inside. If I was outside and it was chilly could I add the hood? It's not like it would add  that much warmth, but in the appropriate setting could I wear this?

This is Ben's shirt. I've seen pictures of women wearing men's shirts, but I just am not sure.

                                      

If I were to wear it do I tuck it in or belt it?
