Hello, everyone! Another week awaits us and hope it is as good or better than the last. Last week, this and the next will be/was filled with a lot of teenage activities as my house now are filled with teenagers! Our relatives from Italy, Edo (16) and Roby (12) joined the twins and together they color the town! If we were not out doing some in-door activity, we were at the pool or at home playing Taboo and Pictionary.
It is a bit stressful trying to organize something during the summer as outdoor activity is simply out of the question unless it involves water and shades! So the choices are limited.
This was me on the way out with the kids. I was wearing my new denim jacket which I got from the sales. I paid about US$110 after a 30% cut. I refused to pay anything more than this for a pair of denim jacket I am not even sure I'd wear a lot, so I am happy with this one for now.
We took the kids and some of their friends to this place called Adventure HQ where they have the obstacle skywalk and wall climbing. They looked easy but since they took half an hour to finish one round of skywalk, I guess it's NOT!

You look pretty cute in that striped dress and the Express sandals are so summery! Love the denim jacket! I've had a GAP denim jacket for years and LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about activities...Its reported to be 100 degrees here this week so that means we are staying indoors... I have to get going brainstorming activities for the kids. At least yours are teenagers and more manageable (I think)... but it looks as if you're keeping them busy!
Stay cool!

I was so busy running around, rushing, I forgot to even put my lipstick on here! I look so pale, like a ghost in stripes!
DeleteWhat a great time the kids had with the rock climbing excursion! I love the your jean jacket and you will get a lot of wear from it! Trust me I have two in my closet a light and a dark rinse!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am beginning to like it a lot especially it is not too heavy for summer heat and good enough to protect me from the cold artificial air-conditioning blast!
DeleteA denim jacket is such a classic piece! I still have mine from high school which is now over 10 years old :) Looks like the kids had a wonderful time doing the rock climbing.

That obstacle course does not look easy at all. I can imagine how challenging but fun it can be. Hmmm...entertaining kids during summer. I'm in the same boat as well :( You're such a stylish and youthful looking mom. Hard to believe your boys are teens.
ReplyDeleteI tell you, the older the get, the harder to amuse them! Those were the days when bouncy castle was a hit.. :)
DeleteThe outfit is great...I love it...
ReplyDeletexo...xo...L.
