We found Nemo!

Find a happy place find a happy place FIND A HAPPY PLACE

SNL and blogging during nap time

Someone is a little TOO interested in Daddy's beer.

Teddy bear picnic after Stroller Strides

Despite how this looks, it was in fact happy playing

I remember this stage. Dislike.

One day they will drive REAL CARS and I will die dead of anxiety

I stole this quesadilla maker from a charity yard sale. (It's not really as bad as that makes it sound.)

New favorite: How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?

4:30 am toddler wake-up (WHY?????) means more Finding Nemo

This one is titled "Self Portrait - OH LOOK A FRONT FACING CAMERA!!!!!"

There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Christ? (No, but apparently there was a walrus)

The amount of resentment I feel towards my cat for her easy life is kind of ridiculous

At least I know she won't starve to death while I'm gone

I put a dollar in the mall carousel and blew Caroline's MIND

We feel the same way about cheese

OH HAI THERE BELUGA

Evan woke up at 4:30 am AGAIN. Aparently he had urgent car-organizing to do.

They have a serious love-hate relationship. It's driving me and B's mom NUTS.

I also remember this stage. At least it's funny.

New toddler app called "Word Wagon" is fun, not at all obnoxious AND educational.

More aquarium, Jelly Man.

Evan has been looking at this toy at Target for MONTHS - today he bought it with his Christmas money, because it was on clearance, down to $18 from $60.

Caroline in a nutshell: sob sob sob sob OH LOOK A CAMERA SMILEEEEE sob sob sob

Today I am thankful my mother renews our aquarium membership every year.

Painting Daddy a picture

Home Depot for a new weed-whacker

First foods! Baby cereal & avocado

We were late for Stroller Strides so I did a few laps around the park & then hit the playground

We didn't stay that long because it was HOT

We met E for lunch at our favorite BBQ place for pulled pork and lemonade

Stroller Strides

Don't let the halo fool you - she's t r o u b l e

6 month check-ups are fun until the last 10 minutes

I am attempting to reign in the disaster that is the front half of my house. So far I've cleaned...this table.

We take it easy on Wednesdays

My "quick trip" to the grocery store was delayed by a teeny tiny fender bender, to which an ambulance was called. See that parking lot behind the accident? That's the hospital.

No, mama, MY CHAIR. NO BEBEH. MINE.

I got fancy new running shoes from the fancy running shoe store. My old ones were so bad I left them there in the trash.

Ducks at Old Mystic Village

Sad faced toddler yelled at himself in the mirror for 5 minutes.

This is CANDY. Double-you tee EFF???

Banana and animal crackers - mostly it got in her hair but she ate a little

Back at the aquarium for the 2nd time this week - Evan can now identify frogs, baby frogs, turtles, seals, sea lions, and penguins.

Amazonian Milk Frog. Or maybe I just made that up.

Five Guys for lunch. This is the SMALL cheeseburger.

45 minutes after bedtime, and still trying to talk his way into staying up later

Why even bother to post the rest of my pics when this one CLEARLY wins?

Caroline got dressed up to attend a friend's birthday party.

It took him a while, but Little Evan figured out how to blow through the noisemaker to make a noise. Sadly, it "broke" and had to be thrown away.

On our way to Stroller Strides! Little Evan actually says "Soller Siiiides!" now when you ask him if he wants to go. It's super cute.

I got two boxes for Valentine's Day. The one from my husband contained these beautiful purples roses (my favorite, and the kind we had at the wedding)...

...and the one from my doctor contained a giant orange jug for me to pee in. Very romantic.

I packed some books to read at the pediatrician. We've moved past basic board books and I could not BE more excited.

I got some awesome mail. Uff Da and BH&G!

Solo Target trip! It took ALL my willpower not to buy the blue & white cow. I already have TWO of the plain white ones.

We met some friends at the extrememly uncrowded aquarium for a playdate. That's Little Evan & an employee standing by the most popular exhibit.

Evan has discovered stickers. The end.

See the time? 9:00 am. That's what time it was when I got to Stroller Strides, a full 15 minutes early, even with 2 kids.

ROCKET MAN

I cleaned out the freezer & threw away the 2 year old breastmilk. This is just what I've pumped since December 20th.

Helping me vacuum the bedroom

This is the picture I tweeted @MarthaStewart for her blog when she asked for baby pics. We'll see if Caroline shows up there on Monday!

The yarn I bought for our ribwarmer knit-a-long play group. I'm obsessed with it.

This was my desk when I was a kid. It's been in our basement for years - my parents threatened to throw it out - so I finally dragged it out for Evan. I think he likes it.

One more time at Stroller Strides. Caroline sleeps through all the classes.

A little trip to JoAnn's for some 2nd birthday party supplies
