September Fashion ?

I think September and March are the hardest months to figure out what to wear in Florida.  September because it is still soooo hot, and it's kinda summer but kinda not.  So I don't want to wear my turquoise tank with palm trees or my hot pink tank with bold flowers.  But I don't wnat to break out my fall stuff, because I'll have a whole 60 days to wear that come October and November.

March is hard, too, because it's kinda spring and kinda not.  So, just like the September issue, I don't want to keep wearing my winter clothes and am not ready to be in my spring wear yet, either.

Anyone with me?  Suggestions on what a FL girl that likes to follow the rules is supposed to do?

First Two Weeks of School

Fun Facts about the first two weeks of school:
  • Carley started kindergarten at Stone Lakes Elementary
  • She knew NO ONE in her class, but at Meet the Teacher, we ran into an attorney that works at the law firm I do HR for - his son is in Carley's class - they just moved here from SC and live in Stoneybrook...coincidence, Matt Owen?  :-)
  • Her teacher has a mad long name - Ms. Michalopolous - she lets the kids call her "Ms. M." Carley can say her name perfectly, though - really, just ask her next time you see her.
  • New friends are Bella and Catalina
  • Carley likes PE class
  • Carley loves walking to school (with her mommy and daddy of course)
  • She has already learned lots of new songs
  • Carley loves Recess
  • She loves to wear her Twinkle Toe shoes
  • Carley does not enjoy getting up in the morning
  • New breakfast fave: bagel with cream cheese
  • What makes Mommy sad and proud at the same time: dropping Carley off in the morning and seeing her walk away all by herself, just so grown up.  (Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up...)
  • Mommy's favorite part of the day - the "end-of-the-school-day-hug."
Baileigh's turn:
  • Baileigh started 1-2 days a week at preschool so Mommy can work more 
  • Baileigh's teacher is Mrs. Gunn - my bro-in-law's sister - we LOVE her! 
  • Baileigh talks about Mrs. Gunn all the time.  Really.
  • New friends: Jacob & Danielle
  • Baileigh loves to see our nieces, Hope and Cassady, at school
  • Baileigh thinks she is just as grown up as Carley
  • Mommy's favorite part of the day - the "end-of-the-preschool-day-hug."
And now for some pictures!
