Taking a quick break from preparing mounds upon mounds of food for the twins' first birthday party today...
Why am I making mounds of food? We're only having family over for the party (including godparents - can I call them family? I mean, we're a spiritual family...) but I decided we're having a pasta party and making double batches of baked penne, bacon mac 'n cheese, pasta salad, meatballs, chicken... Think anyone would like carbs with their carbs? Well, I'm making so much because this way we get to eat leftovers all week :P
Anyway, here's what we wore today:
Dress (a repeat): Shabby Apple (last year's Christmas present)
Scarf: Same old Forever 21 favorite
Boots & boot socks: Same old DSW (I think?) favorite
Aaaand someone had to take off his socks in the middle of pictures, of course.
Mass went surprisingly well today - I think the kids were sufficiently terrible last week that they made up for it by being decent this week. Hurrah! Very little embarrassment!
And now to return to the cooking frenzy, but not before linking up with Fine Linen & Purple - check out more outfits!
mmm...sounds like it'll be a delicious party. And that dress is so cute- you look great, Rosie!
ReplyDeleteIs that one dress? I love it..you look great. And party leftovers are the best...I always make too much so we can have party leftovers.
ReplyDeleteIt is! It's so hard to find nursing-friendly dresses, and for some reason there seem to be a lot of the faux-two-piece dresses that work!
DeleteI love your outfit! You look so classy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dress and so flattering. Beautiful mama and such cute kiddos! Prayers for an awesome and joy-filled birthday party celebrating your precious twins!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It went surprisingly well - no meltdowns from the babies OR the big kids until the guests were gone :)
DeleteLooovve the dress with those boots! Though I would've never guessed it was a dress and not a shirt and skirt. Hope the party was fun!
ReplyDeleteOk, between you and Laura, I'm now convinced I need to go on a polka dot hunt!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! You always have a wonderful sense of color - love the addition of the scarf event hough ti's different shade of blue. It just works well.
ReplyDeleteHope the party went well. Congratulations on surviving a year with twins!! May you be blessed with many more.
Love your outfit, Rosie! Also the painting above your fireplace . . . is it new? . . . . Glad your party went well!
ReplyDeleteYou look great as always, Rosie! I love everything - the dress (I'm still pining for my first Shabby Apple item), the boots and boot socks, the scarf, the darling children!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great menu! The tomato in the sauce balances the carbs!
