SILENCE. Usually a good thing...unless you have kids.
Today I was getting a lot done around the house when suddenly I realized...it was awfully quiet. I walked by the girls' bedroom and heard giggling and whispering. I went in and found Pigtails' crib full of toys, pillows and clothes with the strong scent of diaper rash cream waffling through the air. They had been playing with it and there were greasy hand and footprints everywhere.
But I have to admit, this time I got lucky. Usually it's worse...

Now I just realized...it's awfully quiet. I better go see what the girls are up to.
Cross your fingers, hopefully it's nothing too bad...

Love this outfit on you - the booties are so cute! I hope you and the family had a lovely Thanksgiving!
I know EXACTLY what you mean! Especially because two of my kids are boys. Usually silence plus two young boys equals disaster. This is probably one of the best maternity looks I have ever seen. I LOVE the vest and you're right, this dress will work very well even after that beautiful little bundle makes an appearance!
haha your children are a little cheeky but I adore that about kids. They're kids! My little cousins are seemingly more boisterous than your little ones so I can relate in some little way =)

Love the animal print dress! Nice
choice, Polkadots. Yes, quiet is
not good unless you know they're
sleeping...and your girls have an
abundance of imagination.
The pictures of the girls are just too cute! Too much quiet is definitely not a good thing with children in the house, ha ha! I had the same thing happen not too long ago. Miss M decided to stencil her bedroom walls!
LOVE your dress and those boots!

You look gorgeous, Claire! I love your manicure!
They are always up to no good when it is too quiet...especially my boys!
Great score on the vest from Loehmanns...love it!!
Love your outfit and manicure! I agree..people just need to take me shopping so I can get what I want. :)
Love the dress and vest together!
Hope you'll link up with What I Wore Wednesday: http://transatlanticblonde.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-i-wore-wednesday_30.html
I like your manicure. I need to get some glittery polish.
Your daughters sound totally adorable. I bet they are going to grow up so close. A close, sisterly bond is the best kind.

Haha, yeah it's never a good sign when it's quiet like that! I'm loving this look--the vest and boots pair perfectly with that awesome dress!

For suck sweet looking things, kids can cause a ridiculous amount of destruction in a very short time, can't they?
I love those booties...so cute!
you look so glam and dressy. I love your fur coat, you have an amazing wardrobe, I wish I can shop in your closet! Your pigtails always amuses me, not so amusing on a daily basis for you maybe, but really cute girl, just treasure these times, they won't be forever!

lovely nails <3
no news (or in this case, noise) is bad news!! they are definitely up to something! my sister is super busy, so she often buys me my gifts like that. if we are out shopping, and i like something, she's like, "get it...i won't have time to shop later". it's good and bad...sometimes i like surprises!
the dress looks good with that vest!
and re: the ON shirt...yes, i love it! i tried to go back and get more colors, but it sold out fast!
[oomph.]
What's the next line? Help write the story!
i love the whole outfit as always :)) LOL @ pigtails..
Love the boots with that dress!

I love Christmas shopping, but I love it more when it is not SUPER crowded! I think the best time for me is to spend time with family and go out for a nice meal. Christmas dinner tend to be rather random and it gives me a surprise!
Ooh yes! I love the print of the dress!
and oh my, I can't wait until I have to worry about stuff like that, ha ha

ha-ha! when it's too quiet that's definitely when little ones are up to something. it looks warm & sunny where you are claire. i think i own both those polishes. i hadn't thought to put them together. also i agree about shopping with the other person. it's so much easier.
Hahaha! That picture of pigtails is spectacular! And what a fab dress! You look stunning!
Silence always equals disaster at my house...so I totally feel ya about surveying the damage!
You look super chic in that outfit. LOVE IT!
Happy December!
