Goodbye, Irene
Hurricane Irene blew through Connecticut on Sunday:
Back patio at 8 am. For the record, we piled all the outdoor furniture over in that corner - the hurricane did not manage to stack our chairs quite so neatly.
This is a game called "Ew, you're stinky!" in which I get a whiff of the toddler's diaper and shout "Ew, you're stinky!" while poking him and making him laugh hysterically. We played for 45 MINUTES.
Rednecks. I'll forgive them since it was REALLY hot in the house with all the windows closed.
Fascinated by the storm
Biggest branch that came down. Luckily it came down on a bush and not through my window.
Skeptical baby thinks we are all fools for going outside.
We didn’t end up with much more than some broken branches and broken patio lights (we forgot to take them down) but being cooped up inside all day might have made us a little stir-crazy. As you can clearly see in the most embarrassing video of myself I will ever post on the internet.
The fact that Little Evan “played” dinosaur with me might be my best parenting moment to date so far.

Bonjour! No I'm not French, it just sounded fancy. Sorry for the confusion. I'm Suzanne, a 30-year-old Navy wife, blogger, baker, and amateur at pretty much everything else. The stars of the show are Evan, born 4/5/09 and Caroline, born 12/19/2010. I love hearing from you so if you have questions, stories or ideas to share, email me at bebehblog at gmail dot com.
Suzanne, I’m so glad you guys stayed safe (and apparently entertained as well)!
That video? ZOMG, cuteness. Both of you.
