Our week was busy, except for when it wasn’t because of the pouring rain and flash floods. But mostly busy.
Sunday:
I mean, I only have three doll houses, why not buy another one? (I did not)
Caroline is destined for music videos with lots of mind machines
I appreciate how the trees on the point hide most of the nuclear power plant. More scenic.
Monday:
I’ve never actually seen the state capitol before
Confucius say: Give a man $120 and he will give you an LLC.
Sometimes I take pictures of stuff I want to remember to keep on my phone, but then I forgot to leave them on my phone.
Tuesday:
The local tax office is located in part of an old TB hospital.
HUGS
We love the sunflowers
Wednesday:
Really excited for gymnastics
Playdates make me hungry, and this was super delicious
I told Evan he is my photography assistant, and he said that means he has to push the stroller.
Thursday:
Grocery store in the pouring rain
Destroying the house and having pillow fights in the pouring rain
Watching Thor in the pouring rain
Friday:
Princess Sadface returns
Five kids under a table.
Despite that face, the rainbow ice was delicious.
Saturday:
Home run!!
I never should have showed her how the front-facing camera works.
Restarted C25K. This time I am determined to finish.
The urgency to do as many things and have as much fun as possible before summer is over has hit. I was actually grateful for a rainy miserable day to stay home and relax (even though we ended up having friends over and totally wearing out my kids). July is almost over and August is going to FLY by and then Evan starts 5 days a week morning pre-k, which I am both totally ready and not at all ready for. They grow up so fast, etc etc, but I’m looking forward to a new stage where I have a lot more time to focus on things I love (especially photography) instead of just being Mommy.

P.S. I changed some of the settings on my computer to try and get more accurate color and brightness calibration but until I get a real colorimeter my photos might look too bright/weird. I promise I’m fixing it!

Uuuuuuugggghhhhhhhh it’s hooooooot. We’ve been trying to hold as still as possible, although “still” isn’t really a word in these children’s vocabulary. I’m also going to blame the heat for messing up my iPhone and losing more than half my photos. Our trip to the lake, gymnastics, all of Thursday. Gone. Annoyed. And hot.
Sunday:
Chillaxin’
CLEAN ALL THE THINGS: Kitchen edition
Melting
Monday:
She insisted Zebra and Giraffe needed to see the aquarium too.
Tomato, artichoke hearts, pesto, two kinds of cheese on sourdough.
“Helping” with the seesaw
Tuesday:
Not even close to being big enough.
They’re doing Oedipus Rex at the Arboretum with truly terrifying puppets.
The sleepy twins fell asleep while I was at a photoshoot
Wednesday:
From Instagram: More sleeping.
From Instagram: More eating.
Thursday:
Oh yes, I’m sure you’ll sell a lot of these as impulse purchases.
The long-promised and long-awaited potty training reward.
Friday:
I wish I could tell you that giant drink was sugar free organic juice, but then I’d be a liar. (We saw Monsters 2. Cute but I liked Despicable Me 2 better.)
MOAR SLEEPING. SO HOT.
Saturday:
We’ve all been getting a LOT of checkups since Thursday.
At least it wasn’t permanent marker.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
I swear we’re going to leave the house tomorrow, if only because I can’t stand sitting in my own sweat any longer. I am insanely jealous of my parents and their lake house right now (Happy Birthday Mom!) and need to figure out how to get there ASAP.

Another summer week, another seven days I can hardly believe were only seven days.
Sunday:
Yeah, basically this, for the whole weekend.
They ate all the peas & berries before we even got back in the car.
Oh no! Stormy seas! The boat is rocking! (It was not stormy.)
Monday:
Friendship IS magic!
Dr. Evan to x-ray, STAT!
It’s adorable, but they still stole my umbrella.
Tuesday:
Burning off some energy. SO MUCH ENERGY.
Every morning Caroline wakes up and cries until she can say hello to her kitty.
Reading selections
Wednesday:
She’s skeptical about putting a bird on it.
High fives, Blue Iguana!
Pineapple cream cheese cupcake = heaven
Thursday:
Dancing at the Plymouth 4th of July Parade
Cousins in the ocean
Chug chug chug chug
Friday:
Explaining why we should go home and watch some shows (he was very convincing)
Town fireworks
He liked them for the first 2 minutes…and then fell asleep.
Saturday:
Monkey see, monkey do
NO WE DO NOT DRINK OUT OF THE FOUNTAIN.
Performing a tail-ectory on Ariel
It is still hot hot hot in New England, so our choices are 1) sit really, really still in the house with all the fans blowing on us or 2) go find a body of water. There are lots of those around, but since Evan and I both got sunburns on the 4th we’ve been hiding inside mostly. They start the preschool summer program this week (I…think? I need to call…) so we’ll eventually have to go back to the real world, but for now I am enjoying doing nothing. Mostly nothing. I don’t think potty training counts as REALLY doing nothing.

Two of the days this week were SO LAZY I barely took 3 pictures all day. Coming back to real life is hard.
Sunday:
It rained on our last day at the lake house, but luckily Mormor and Bumpa have cable.
Evan and his man bag are ready to go.
Quick! Put the GIANT serving of Pad Thai on a huge plate so it looks more reasonably sized.
Monday:
This is my sister’s from France and it is AMAZING
Singing a song that goes “I am so cute! I am so cute!”. She made it up.
Emergency 9 pm Target run for baseball supplies.
Tuesday:
The red seat is the spot where the longest ever home run landed.
Empty park.
He is accurately expressing how hot it was.
Hell yeah panorama feature
Wednesday:
TV watching cuddles
Spitting face, even though spitting is a time-outable offense.
8 pm McD’s trip for happy meals is part of my campaign for Mother of the Year.
Thursday:
Quick! Run in different directions! It’ll confuse her!
Best sibling photo ever? Possibly.
Taking a magical carriage ride for the very first time.
Friday:
I think the cat missed us while we were gone.
Wrinkly piggies!
I’m going to shave off her hair and turn it into a wig for me. So jealous.
Saturday:
Lord Caroline sneers at her subjects.
Super Caroline is annoyed you disturbed her secret lair.
Who knew a weekend at a kid’s birthday party could be a vacation?
I know I said LAST week that we were just going to relax at home and take it easy for a while…but then I realized Summer is REALLY SHORT and we are already running out of time to do all the things. We’ll be all over New England for the next week and the kids start summer school/camp the week after, so the frantic pace continues. It’s literally giving me stomach pains thinking about how little time we have left before it gets dark and cold again, so I’m fitting as much fun into these warm days as possible.
