We went to the lake 6 out of 7 days last week. Then we went again today. When I wrote the (large) check to pay for our membership for the summer I thought “Ugh, this is so much money just to sit on a beach when we could go to so many other beaches for free.” But I am eating those words for sure. I’m eating them right along with the beer I drank on the beach today while I watched my big kids play in the water and the baby chewed on a shovel and I chatted with my mom friends. It’s perfect. It’s my favorite place in Connecticut. And next year it is the FIRST membership we buy instead of the last.

Appologies this week and every week for the same 5 lake pictures over and over and over.

Sunday:

Never tired of lap naps

Wine, baby, kids in the lake

So many of my favorite things in this one photo

Monday:

Unimpressed baby is unimpressed

BFFs

She calls this Mommy Hair

Tuesday:

Don’t tell the big kids we went to the lake while they were in school

Waiting for roadside assistance (aka Daddy) to fix our flat

I’m going to make his hair do this all the time

Wednesday:

There weren’t any store windows on my walk home so I used my phone to see if he was asleep. He was.

3-6 month shirt

Begging for cheese from the deli guy (obvs it worked)

Thursday:

I let him have half an oreo while I put away a giant pile of laundry

100% Linc

A beautiful day for soccer. Why doesn’t it ever RAIN?

Friday:

We walked down to pick up a friend at preschool, so Caroline dressed appropriately

I found this on my phone. I did not take it.

So many fish!

Saturday:

Laaaaaaaake

Running away to go eat rocks. Whatever kid.

The rare big kid smile!

We have a packed week coming up with end-of-the-year school stuff, appointments, regularly scheduled things, field day, plus at some point my husband is going to get promoted and we’re all supposed to go. Since he’s currently on night shifts and we’ve barely seen him I’m not EXACTLY sure when that’s going to happen, but I’m told it definitely will. Probably. Maybe. All I know is in between a zillion must-dos this week I will be at the lake.

There was a lot of babywearing this week because the weather was bad and we didn’t go many places.

AND THEY JUST CANCELED SCHOOL FOR TOMORROW. Is it spring yet?

Sunday:

My first baby whose head isn’t the least bit flat

All natural teether

GO PATRIOTS

Monday:

Brotherly love

Superbowl hangover

Still loves the neck floaty

Tuesday:

How’s my hair?

2.5 hours like this, while I did ALL the laundry

Good dog Brutus

Wednesday:

Spirit week: Wacky Day

Baby’s First Button Down

Is it clear yet that a) I love back carries and b) I REALLY need a good anti-aging moisturizer?

Thursday:

When you have this much snow, you have to actually REMOVE it, not just plow it.

Spirit Week: Storybook Character Day

My Lego Star Wars game brings all the boys to the yard

Friday:

Spirit Week: Fancy Day

MomFest Rainbow Playdate

OBSESSED

Saturday:

This one is my new favorite

My eyes do that exact same uneven thing

How he is managing to sleep like that I have NO idea

We taught someone else Hand & Foot so now we can play ALL THE TIME.

I am going to finish this, publish it, feed the baby and then go to the grocery store at 9 pm because that sounds way better than going with all 3 kids in the snow tomorrow. Uggggggghhhhhhhhh. Seriously, can it be May now?
