Please forgive my lack of real blogging, I was busy taking some absolutely delicious brand new baby photos for a friend. Newborns are definitely not something I would ever specialize in but holy cow are they adorable.
The gingers and I had an impromptu lunch at Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream. Highly recommend. Apologies for the photo overload.
The kids are cute but the sandwich menu is the real star of this photo.
Lemon chocolate kiss is my go-to.
SPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

Our spring-like weather looks like it’s here to stay but since this is New England I’m not taking anything for granted. We’ll be repeating this week with extra locations (zoo, beach, etc etc etc) thrown in for the next two months. More baths + later bedtimes are going to cut into my blog-writing time, but I’m OK with that. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to remember we can live our lives even if I don’t write about every second of it online.
What crazy week. Thank God the gingers had no idea how crappy it was in the real world and just enjoyed their spring break.
Sunday:
Look! A totally uninteresting part of a 60 year old submarine! You STILL can’t see the interesting parts (where E works on the modern ones).
Running away from their BBQ pork. Obviously they were switched at birth. Both of them.
Reading with Aunt Erin

Stroller Strides at the beach EFF YEAH
The view made working out less sucky

A B C’S ARE BETTER WHEN THEY ARE AS LOUD AS THIS SIGN
Friday:
Caught red handed!
There are approximately 300 of these on my phone from this day, since the kids got the iDevices while I watched the news…
…and read ALL the Twitters.
Saturday:
And sometimes my view during Stroller Strides is LESS inspiring
Introducing the gingers to Moe’s
Swinging is fun
And now school vacation week is OVER and I get some Suzanne-time back. I love love love my children more than life itself, but there’s a point during the day where I want to lock them both in a closet. THE WHINING OH THE WHINING. It’s amazing what a difference 5 hours a week makes to my sanity and patience. Oh and P.S. World? Try not to go totally INSANE again next week, ok?
Ahoy Mateys! Pirate Days at Mystic Seaport was pretty crowded – we generally skip the Seaport on days when we won’t have the place to ourselves – and the kids varied between LOVING the pirates and HATING the pirates, but we had a pretty good time.
Checking their treasure maps
On a schooner (that’s a sailboat)
Walking the plank

On the lookout
We’ve got gold dubloons! Grab ‘em, and go!
