My Week(259) in iPhone Photos

Monday, October 19th, 2015

I read a thing the other day that said October is for photographer what April is for accountants. It’s absolutely true. I love being busy but this time of year Ginger Snaps sort of takes over my life and I’m working constantly to keep on top of my editing. What I’m saying is, this post (and probably every other post until Christmas) is late.

Sunday:

They could do this for hours

Church fashion (and cookies)

Caroline’s scarecrow is named Olivia and is truly terrifying

Monday:

I am unable to do anything but sing Home on the Range when I see these photos

Linc has already perfected his photobomb skills

They did this for a good 10 minutes straight

Tuesday:

Rainbow – and a super high tide – at Bluff Point

No nap grumpy pants has to come to the bus stop

THERE’S the nap. At 5 pm.

Wednesday:

Shopping for tunic tops to match my crazy leggings

Swinging

Great sunset! Too bad it happened 10 minutes into soccer practice.

Thursday:

Elf baby

Post swim fashion choices

He is convinced this is his new chair

Friday:

We’re about 2 weeks away from pitch-black morning bus stop

Both of these toddlers were pretty pleased with themselves

That corner of his blanket is SO GROSS

Saturday:

I can’t remember the last time I was actually outside and happy to see sunrise

Dadding like a boss

The most amusing part of our casino date night was this glitter alllllllll over the floor of the women’s room

I have like a billion phone photos I didn’t post this week, just because no one needs to see EVERY kind of beer I drank at Oktoberfest or ALL the corn maze selfies. But if you like these posts and don’t follow me on Instagram, you should do that. I try not to repeat stuff, so my feed over there is generally better than these.

Now I’m going to try to edit three photo sessions AND clean my house while Linc hangs on my knees and begs me to help him put a hat on so he can rip it off over and over and over. I’m optimistic.

FALL FALL FALL IS HERE. I LOVE FALL.

Sunday:

PUNNY LICENSE PLATES ARE MY FAVORITE

Empty baseball stadiums are cool

Somehow a grocery trip still costs $100, even when I buy hardly anything

Monday:

Beaching it up

So happy when Sissy comes home from school

I love his little Judo outfit so much

Tuesday:

This week’s weather can stay forever

Prima Ballerina attitude already

Dogpile on the baby seems like a fun game

Wednesday:

HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS WHAT IS HAPPENING

I went just for swim diapers

More soccer

Thursday:

View from the top

I bought a basket AND a cart to organize my stuff…so why isn’t it organized?

Setting up a new reward system

Friday:

I did not go chasing any waterfalls

Grump faces

Winner of the farmer’s market

Saturday:

MORE SOCCER

Important errands

A very windswept session at the park

It was our first week of All The Stuff and it was pretty much as exhausting as I was expecting. On Thursday morning, I got the kids on the bus then crawled back into bed with Linc until he started hitting me in the face at 9 am. I’m actually HOPING for some rain this week, because if the weather is bad I don’t feel guilty staying home all day. If only I could convince Linc the TV is super interesting and he should sit still and watch it for an hour or two…

Sunday, September 20th, 2015

Once again I DID a lot more stuff than my photos show. When I have my big girl camera with me I have a hard time remembering to use my phone to also take photos so you get a lot of babywearing selfies in this post.

Sunday:

When you are a grumpy mess by 7 am, you get to hold your blankie even when you’re wrapped

Monkey see, monkey do

Caroline looks like she’s about to fly right off that swing

Monday:

Airplane watching

He rode the whole way in the stroller, but is too tired to walk 10 steps to the car

They have a case of the Monday’s

Tuesday:

That’s a really brave fishing spot

Little boy in the big woods

He really, really loves my wallet?

Wednesday:

His first time ever in the mall playground, poor deprived child

WATCH OUT IT’S A BOUNTY HUNTER

We’ve been eating a lot of pasta salad

Thursday:

He’s not a huge selfie fan

STILL NOT A FAN

Sqeeeeeezing out one more beach day

Friday:

He loves traffic

Editing is fun again, because I get to do it kid-free during nap time

AND I can edit while watching EXCELLENT MOVIES

Saturday:

He kept trying to play peek-a-boo behind the chain link.

OH GOODY WE’RE DOING SOCCER AGAIN

She wouldn’t even let me wash it off before bed

This week is our first full week with EVERYTHING: Judo, ballet, swim and soccer. It’s good and bad. I like keeping the kids really busy even in after-school hours because if they’re doing an activity then they’re not staring at the ipad or the tv. But when they get really tired they’re walking time bombs of tears and disappointment. We’re still working on the balance, especially because our weekends have also been really full. Maybe once the weather isn’t so fantastic we’ll stay inside and all take naps on Saturdays.

My Week(253) in iPhone Photos

Sunday, September 6th, 2015

First full week of school, last weekend of the summer. The transition is going as well as I can expect, which is to say the kids are taking turns being COMPLETLY exhausted and having breakdowns. And Linc thinks he’s suddenly grown.

Sunday:

PUMPKIN SPICE ATTACK

Babywearing runs in the family

Big kid doing big kid stuff

Monday:

Driving the playscape

Don’t look so judgy baby, it’s just a liquor store run.

Climber

Tuesday:

Apparently he’s allergic to…something? I think it’s the baby wipes.

School is EXHAUSTING

He’s obsessed

Wednesday:

I tried wearing lipstick. Linc thinks it’s a mistake. I think I agree.

OMG GUISE THIS BRIDGE THING BOUNCES

I joked that he was going to sleep in her bed and she was not amused

Thursday:

Jogging! For like, 4 seconds. But I want credit.

Connecticut ends here

I’M TRAPPED IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION

Friday:

His new favorite spot

Niantic is adorable

The kids were super excited about the babywearing in this book.

Saturday:

Apparently no one else wanted to spend a gorgeous Saturday at the lake. Idiots.

I brought all the car wraps in to wash them. Such a pretty pile.

So I guess he’s just big now.

We have one last #lakelife day tomorrow as long as Evan doesn’t sleep the entire day. Or I do. 8 hours of sleep would be a dream come true and because Linc didn’t get ANY nap today I have my fingers crossed he’ll let me sleep in. Our fall activity schedule starts this week and then goes into full crazy mode next week so I need as much rest as I can get. I’m already reminding myself that I did this to myself and it won’t last forever. I suspect in the spring we’ll sign up for exactly zero things to recover.

Wordless Wednesday: Flashback Friday Edition

Friday, August 1st, 2014

I have none words because I have a newborn but I do have these pictures from the olden days when I only had 2 children. You know, a whole almost-two-weeks ago. So really this should be called “Pictures I actually took the time to edit so look at them while I take a nap, OK?”
