Aztec skirt (outfit #47)

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, and since I'll be busy imitating a magic bunny, I'm going to post these outfit pictures today. My Sunday schedule has gone offtrack anyway with all these cold snowy days that just make a girl want to procrastinate. This is a 1940s, hand painted Mexican themed skirt that ties at the waist. The chocolate cardigan is by Bobbie Brooks and was purchased with a birthday gift card from an antique mall, thanks to my sweet friend, Jenny B. Thanks Jenny B! I'm wearing yet another Sarah Coventry Brooch, this one with tiny precious stones.

Endlessly fantastic skirt and colour palette! I'm so very fond of autumn hues and love sporting and seeing others wear them all year round.

Wishing you a beautiful start of April!

This skirt is fabulous. The colours go so well with your ginger hair and it has a great shape. I also have to comment on your shoes: They're really outstanding and looking quite comfortable.

Sh*t my kids say

Elowyn: "Mommy, next year...I go to school...and you go to the thrift store."

Emery, "Dad, when I grow up I'm going to be a scientist and invent a potion so I can stay a kid forever!"

Ohlin: "Mommy if I'm good at school in the morning...can I be naughty in the afternoon?"

Elowyn found a sticker (that resembled a price tag) stuck to the bottom of her foot. She peeled it off and said, "Hmmmm, I two dollars...gross."

Ohlin: This dinner tastes like a million butt cheeks!"

Elowyn tried to step on an ant that was running towards her and she fell on her butt. She said, all wide-eyed, "Mama, that ant tried to beat me up!"

Upon seeing the new, 3 story circular element at the County Justice Center being erected, Tavian asked, "is that a Tesla Coil?" Emery responded, "No, that's a giant toilet!"

Ohlin: "Mama, what are those brown guys with bollyballs on their noses, that yiv at the yircus?

me: "ummm, seals?"

Ohlin: "Oh...dem guys eat people?"

Ohlin (picking up the Humpty Dumpty record): "Mom, I love Hump-a-Dump!"

Emery (crying before his first swim lesson): "I'm scared mom, I really don't want to go."

Me: "There is nothing to be scared about. You're going to learn how to swim, play games, meet new friends, and I bet the swim instructor is really pretty."

Emery (immediately stops crying): "How pretty?"

My husband: "You make your own fun in this world"
Emery (age 5): "Dad, that doesn't sound like very much fun."

Tavian: "Mom, did you buy your van at the Lowest Expectation store?"

Tavian to Emery: "Do me a solid and be quiet."

Emery to Tavian: "Do me a solid and stop being a jerk!"

(Ohlin looking guilty) Me: "Ohlin, did you poop your pants?" Ohlin:"No mama, brother did it!"

Tavian:"Why do you bother making fancy, gourmet sauces? Haven't you heard of ketchup?"
