I keep saying I’m almost caught up and then I fall farther behind. Now that we have a real schedule – a crazy schedule, but a schedule – I know where my writing time fits in and I’m hoping to get back to it. Partially because I like having a blog and partially because I want to document this time for E. So I’ll say it again…I’m a few weeks behind but I’m going to catch up on these recaps.
Sunday:
This slide is huge
Finding rocks
I can’t remember why I took this picture
Monday:
It was a very Monday Monday
Tuesday:
He’s not sure I should let babies drive
Biggest coffee possible after 4 kids at the dentist
Wednesday:
Every time he sees a camera
Thursday:
He decided driving was OK after all
Party planning
Friday:
Filthy urchin
Saturday:
Watching for party guests
I super love how everything came together
He had an excellent day
And just like that, Finnegan is awake so I can’t do another week. He’s supposed to be sleeping for another hour, but he’s got molars coming in. Let’s hope they break through quickly because both of us are happier when he sleeps.

I AM ONLY ONE WEEK BEHIND NOW IT’S A MIRACLE. But now I really really need to stop blogging and do some work on this birthday party I’m throwing on Saturday so I probably won’t really catch up for another 3 weeks.
Sunday:
KNUFFLE BUNNY
Screen zombies. It’s getting old.
Monday:
Big bottle for a little baby
Standard tv watching in our house
Tuesday:
Rose garden sun dial
Maybe it’s time to get him some shoes
Wednesday:
This is Finn’s favorite game
Skeptical I REALLY need all this stuff at the craft store
GET TO WORK, CHILD LABORERS
Thursday:
Toddler for sale, everyday low price
Finding rocks and hiding rocks
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, BABY?
Friday:
Waiting for blood draws is exhausting
More rock painting
My new blanket for the USS Virgina. TIMELY.
Saturday:
Mad Scientist station at Cousin Camp
Custom made pizzas
Borrowing a neighbor’s swimming pool to end our awesome camp day
My parents are here to help with party stuff and I am SO unprepared. This is not going to be my best party. At this point I’m going to be impressed if there’s a cake and no construction actively occurring. Have I mentioned that I am TOTALLY OVER having people in and out of my house and not having a working full bathroom?
I don’t care what breaks in this money next – I’m throwing a tarp over it and ignoring the problem forever. NO MORE HOME IMPROVEMENTS. EVER.

I AM SO READY TO HAVE CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE OUT OF MY HOUSE FOREVER. I swear to god, the number one advantage in DIY home improvement isn’t cost, it’s the fact that you can stop and use your kitchen to make a sandwich if you want without being in anyone’s way.
Sunday:
Someone made some poor choices
Really tired of gymnastics nursing
Monday:
Still asleep when it’s time to leave for camp
Book Barn adventures
Why do we even own toys?
Tuesday:
I swear I’ve taken this photo every week all summer
Watching for ugly fish
Littlest aquarium fan
Wednesday:
He refused to move until I took his picture
You can see through my walls
Thursday:
Playing in the water
Waiting for the bridge to go up
I took a picture so I could go buy an identical diverter and I still got the wrong one
Friday:
No stop don’t run away
I don’t know what’s behind me
Being an A+ big sister
Saturday:
Seussian shenanigans
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Super cool art and play space
I’m trying to pick a grey paint color again and it’s making me insane. Because why not spend three days agonizing over paint colors when the painting has to be done by Saturday?

My husband just got back from severals weeks underway on his submarine, so the amount of laundry in my house went from “a lot but almost manageable” to “mountains”. I’m going to catch up on these posts in the moments when I can’t handle folding one more plain white undershirt.
Sunday:
SUPER PROUD 3 YEAR OLD
Really excited about his insane milkshake
Making the exact same face as Evan above
Monday:
He loves this, I swear
Upsidedown Lincoln
Lego Batman on repeat
Tuesday:
Sunflower day
Family picture
Ready for the cow train
Wednesday:
I’m signing him up for gymnastics
Friends who love your baby are the best
Thursday:
The ocean
Looking for rocks
Weirdos
Friday:
The kids were fascinated with this thing at Stop & Shop
More lake
Finn really likes Cheetos
Saturday:
Pretending I’m a good Navy spouse by making calendar pages
In between laundry loads I also managed to order the week’s groceries and plan the kids fall activities schedule with reminders to register them for various activities as soon as they open. I still need to find Lincoln a morning activity besides swim (the gymnastic class I wanted is only in the afternoon) to help him get some of his wiggles out before afternoon pre-k. The plan is to make all four children as tired as possible so they go to bed by 7:30 every night. A+ PARENTING.

Still several weeks behind. I’m at the point where I can’t remember what some of these photos are from. I’m also very surprised by how often we leave the house, because it definitely feels like we spend most days shouting at each other in the living room.
Monday:
Caroline is currently obsessed with bows
Should I eat these animal crackers or the shoe? It’s a hard decision.
Such a cutie
Tuesday:
Catching creatures in the Mystic River
Ok, bye, check in later?
I should set up a tub and washboard at home.
Wednesday:
Lake fun
Lake nap
Thursday:
Super fun art activity at Lutz Children’s Museum
Hello turtle friend
REAL LIFE HEIHEI
Friday:
Friends at the lake
Baby at the beach
Lake life is exhausting
Saturday:
Look at that enormous baby
He can sleep ANYWHERE
Trying to get his own snacks now
Less than a week until birthday party go time and I literally cannot reach my dining room table because of the sheet rock all over the room. Which is great! Fine! I’m sure I can get ALL the party planning done between 8 pm Friday and 2 pm Saturday.
