On the first day of summer vacation, we went strawberry picking, spent the rest of the day at the lake, and then hung out at a local town carnival until bedtime. We ran into a photographer friend I know at the farm, saw almost our entire Momfest group at the lake, and then bumped into one of our favorite Navy families at the carnival.
Maybe when my kids are older we’ll have super relaxed, unscheduled summers. But right now I need them to stay busy and tired, so they can’t complain about being bored or try to kill each other. Today is the fourth day of summer vacation. We dropped E off at the airport, went to a playground, walked a couple miles around a park, caught a ton of Pokemon, took Evan to a coding class, spent 2 hours at the library, ran some errands, went to karate and it’s still not bedtime. I love summer. The weather right now is fantastic. But if the kids ask for one more snack I’m going to sell them.

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.

THIS IS SUPER LATE. IT’S FROM LAST WEEK. I AM DOING THINGS IN ORDER. THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE BABIES IN THIS POST ONLY INSIDE BABIES.
But I did have a baby. You can see him on Instagram.
I’m 2 weeks behind but I’m catching up. If the baby keeps sleeping during the afternoons I’ll have the birth story next, then Fresh 48 photos, then a back to school post, and another week in iPhone photos. Send coffee and wine, BOTH OF WHICH I CAN DRINK AGAIN PRAISE JESUS. (Hahahaha as if I ever gave up coffee.)
Sunday:
Hi Linc, can I take your picture?
CHEESE FACE!
Goodbye Olympics
Monday:
Gotta catch ’em all, even if Mommy is so pregnant she can barely walk
Wiggly tooth
YEAH THAT’S RIGHT BE JEALOUS
Tuesday:
#lakelife as much as possible
Playing model is Caroline’s FAVORITE
Harkness Park is pretty
Wednesday:
Real life
Lots of this happening this week
Daddy is the only fun parent right now
Thursday:
Can you believe I even carried my chair this far?
A friend made muffins “for the kids” but I ate three of them
BEHOLD, A MOMENT OF PEACE
Friday:
The last time my mom friends and I would only have 14 kids at the lake
Beautiful curls
Evan borrowed my phone to take 300 pictures of Daddy
So that was the week that ended on August 27th. A lot has happened since then. I’ll tell you about it soon.

This is the week in photos that corresponds to the terrible horrible week of solo parenting in 100-degree weather, so there are a lot of photos of us doing…nothing. It was a miracle everyone survived.
Sunday:
Private lake
Big kid swinging
I let him stay in my bed
Monday:
We watched so much Pokemon
RIDICULOUS
A strong selfie game
Tuesday:
The cat loves my belly
More private lake time
Digging for treasure
Wednesday:
LASHES
Just what she needed: another adorable bathing suit!
OK I guess
Thursday:
Lake baby
More naps. NOT COMPLAINING.
SO GOOD LOBSTER ROLL
Friday:
Shopping day
New kicks
Still sleeping in my bed, now with his own pillow and covers
Saturday:
Don’t worry, this deer survived the wash
SO HAPPY to be annoying the crap out of me
Linc loves my bump
So far this week is 100% more relaxing than last week, especially because I HAVE A NEW VAN. We just won’t talk about how my iPhone isn’t really working since the kids dropped it while playing Pokemon. It’s fine. I’ll be fine. The camera is ok, so at least my blogging won’t suffer. That’s the important part.
