Our Parents' Day Starts w/ Kid's School Halloween Party !!! (Updated)

My day didn't end at 8 PM after my Zumba dance yesterday

There are cheese/ham/lettus on Hawaii sweet buns, tuna melt w/ fuji apples sandwiches, (vega) Fuji apples w/ cucumber on lemon butter jelly sandwiches.

I signed up for making sandwiches for my son's class, bringing goodies for Abby's whole classmates and fresh-cut fruits w/ muffins to Ilona's class. I think I am trying to be fair to all my 3 children that once I participate ONE, i'd be involved in all 3 of their class parties!!

Our day today starts w/ Niel's first costume parade at school!!

Niel's costume parade at 8:15 AM...which is a big deal to me that I normally am playing my make-up and dress-up at home by myself during that time! Lol. 
Rushing to another school~ Vroom ~ Vroom~

Ilona's 2nd costume parade around 9:30 AM.

You are unstoppable and looking great! :) The kids' costumes are adorable!!

Love your tartan poncho and also your Kelsie booties from the previous post! Where did you get the booties, if you don't mind me asking?

Have a great weekend and Happy Halloween!
Hey, Mona:
yes, I think I am some kind of "workaholic" too!!

The Kelsie boots found at Loehmann's but I think they have those shoes sold on line... very cheap and trendy look. I thought a simple look w/ good bargain even in cheap suede lace-up won't hurt a trendy look like this one.

You have a great Halloween too!!

I love your style! Where did you find that plaid capelet? I have my eye on one just like it from Anthro, but for double the price!
Hi, Fancyface:
I found that poncho cape at a store in downtown Los Gatoes. IT probably is called "K" something... Try www. arynk.com. It is designed in LA made in CHina which explains why it is cheaper!! It originally sold at $88 but the store is having a promotion w/ 25%OFF IN every coat.
I DO HOPE you find this one as we all love its retro "gray + mustard" yellow tartan pattern very much!!!
Good luck.

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
