The Brown Kiddos Blog!

Happy October yall!!!  Mama has been totally slacking on the ole blog and we need to take over...here is all the fun stuff we have been doing over the last few fun Fall weeks..

We made our very own "Fall Bucket List!"  We wrote out all the fun things we wanted to do this Fall.  All of us had to contribute and Mama wrote them down and put them in the bucket.  Luckily Mama works for a sticker company so we had fun Fall stickers to decorate our bucket.  We loved it!!  Owen did get mad when Mama and Daddy would not add "Go to Walmart and buy me a toy" to the bucket :)...so glad Mama reads other blogs like Jennifer's to get these fun ideas...


Cousin Sterling turned 6 and we went to his pizza party!! Happy Birthday Sterling!  Sterling taught us how to make pooting noises while blowing on our arms :)...


The Hogs played Alabama and lost :(, but we had a great party anyway at our house all day!!! 
















Owen took the scissors to his hair. Daddy had to shave him down to a one.  Mama was not happy, but Owen thinks he is a handsome boy :)
We have been loving Fall mornings...Mama is always making  us pose in the mornings. Owen HAS to wear his hood if he is wearing a hoodie.  Even if it is hot.  Poppy causes him a "gansta" when he does that. Whatever that means...

Daddy took a new job and we are so proud of him!!!!!!  He has had to do some traveling and we helped him pack...

...and surprised him at the airport!

We had Grandparents' Day at school!! Nonna got to come and so did Papa...we love our all our grandparents!!!






We had tons of fun this weekend too!!  The hogs played the Aggies and WON!!  We spent the day out at Aaron and Nicole's playing with our friends, riding horses and painting pumpkins!  Owen won the pumpkin contest :)...lots of pictures!! Our fun aunts took tons of fun pictures!!






















































































We have been having fun!!
Happy Fall YALL!!!

Working Mama Fashion

I have always been one of those people that had to get ready everyday.  Even if I wanted to bum out and lounge around, I still changed into new pjs and fix my hair :).  Now that I am back in the office, my bum out days are far and few between, and I actually like it.  Like I said in a previous post, I enjoy putting together outfits and getting ready (not the hair drying part, that is the WORST!).  I also mentioned that I love this time of year's fashion. I am 30 and I can no longer dress like a college girl.  I know what looks good on me and I try not to stray, while still staying in the newest trends. Last week, I took pictures of myself every day to document a week's worth of "Working Mama Fashion"...a few disclaimers:

I am totally out of my comfort zone posting pics of myself and I know that Shane and a couple friends are going to make fun of me.  Getting over it :)

I can wear jeans to work as long as I am not a bum.

All but one of these pictures were taken in the ugly work bathroom. I don't have time at home to take them as I am shoo-ing three little ones to the car.

I took these with my real camera mostly because my iPhone is sucking lately.

They have all been Instagram-ed...because everything looks better in Instagram.

I am addicted to cardigans.

So here you go...a work week full of outfits:

Monday - Camel Cardigan from Old Navy, black tank-tunic F21 circa 2009, Ann Taylor Loft Modern Skinnies, necklace Kohls sale rack circa 2010, bracelet F20 circa 2009, wedges Dillards, Antonio Melani

Tuesday night - Jace's Football game (sorry bad lighting with iPhone) in my bathroom: Navy cardigan J Crew, gray/tan tank tunic F21, necklace local boutique, Gap Long and Lean jeans, Light Blue Leopard Toms...and cute little girl, Claire Isabella :)

Wednesday Day and Girls' Night - Purple Tunic BCBG, necklaces Francescas, Ann Taylor Curvy Skinnies, wearing tlall black boots but I didn't get a pic!

Friday - WEAR YOUR COLORS TO WORK DAY! - Gray cardigan American Eagle, LOVE shirt Riff Raff, Scarf Francescas, Ann Taylor Modern Skinnies, Red Ugg Boots.
