I don’t know, guys. My iPhone photos are getting worse and worse and I’m not sure this is even a thing worth posting anymore. I only do it because it seems like such a shame to quit now – I have every day of our lives since I was pregnant with CAROLINE documents in iPhone photos. But they’re not good photos. And I should really push myself to post actual content on the blog if I’m going to bother to blog at all, instead of just doing this once a week. I’m conflicted.

Sunday:

Poser

FOOTBAAAAAAALL

I am unable to stop myself from decorating for a party almost a week early

Monday:

Aspirational spring dress purchasing

Snow angels! FINALLY!

TWINNING

Tuesday:

I bought my mom fish like these at a craft fair this summer. These are at Target.

RAINBOWS AT TARGET

Important party shopping: sugar, flowers, lemons

Wednesday:

Tiny reader

Nappy time

Caroline is being supportive of Daddy’s workout

Thursday:

It is still Christmas at the florist

They both thought this was hilarious

Making caramel for the popcorn balls

Friday:

Linc and friends enjoyed the party food

We ate kind of a lot of baked goods

I TOTALLY forgot piano, but our teacher let us come late

Sunday:

Movies and house-trashing because…

…this was outside

She has given up on life because she can’t go out and build a snowman in a blizzard

We did not get the same giant storm that my parents did down in DC, but we got a few inches. The weather the rest of this week is supposed to be surprisingly warm, which means all that snow will melt and things will be boring and brown again. But it ALSO means we won’t have to sell any kidneys to afford oil to heat the house, so it’s a toss-up really. I’m still trying to find our floors after the combination of party-blizzard-snow day, because the kids seriously just destroyed EVERYTHING. It’s hard to find motivation when they’re just going to destroy stuff again.

I’ve already reached DESPONDENCE and it’s not even February. Send all the sunshine and salted caramel ice cream immediately.

Snowpocalypse! Snowtastrophe! Snowmygod! But the most exciting part of this week was actually that Caroline started preschool:

Sunday:

Saving money on my grocery bill is my new addiction.

Pizza helpers

Her hair is getting ridiculous

Monday:

Twin jammies

Twin couch nap

Twin box playing

Tuesday:

This is how she lives her whole life

Puzzles are WAY more interesting than saying goodbye to mom

The non-snow we got on Tuesday seems like a joke now

Wednesday:

Back to their Olympic training

Weirdo #1 says “Take a picture like this Mommy!”

Weirdo #2 says “TAKE MY PICTURE TOO!”

Thursday:

I pulled up in front of the school and threw them out. They loved it.

I love the gym on base – totally empty at 9 am.

Emergency snow storm supplies: APPLES

Friday:

Caroline “fixed” a lawnmower

Evan ate cheese

I made “OMG” faces at the blizzard

Saturday:

Banana bread baking

Flying dog flies out of the snow once he realized how deep it is

Official toddler measurement: WHOA.

There’s still a travel ban on state roads and highways so we CAN’T go anywhere – not that we were the least bit tempted. We have electricity, Netflix streaming, lots of (boozy) hot cocoa and homemade pizza for dinner. E got home from work before the storm hit and gets to stay with us until Monday, so basically the storm is the best thing that’s happened in two weeks.
