E entertained the kids while I considered dying from exhaustion, a sore throat and a cough

Wonderful surprise cup coozie from my friend @emilybilbrey

This is what packing and cleaning the house looks like when you're sick - Twitter & football

Cookies for breakfast?! It must be someone's birthday!!

The kids LOVE my Understanding Exposure photography book

Even though we did NOTHING all day, she was happy to be ONE!

Totally entranced by this stupid toy at the car repair place

This is in front of the post office, a few days before Christmas. Our town is kind of sad.

Wrapping ALL THE THINGS

Woke the kids up at o'dark thirty to get on the road

Playing with his Aunt Carolyn, who lives in Africa so we NEVER see her

STILL. SO. SICK.

Jam and bread? Don't mind if I do!

I ate so many waffle fries I didn't even have room for a peppermint milkshake. TRAGIC.

Helping Carolyn pick out a new (old)(really really old) camera

Puking toddler landed us in the ER at 8 pm because the doctor was worried about dehydration. Thank goodness for Zofran.

Vintage trains & Legos

Watcha doin' Caroline? Oh just hanging out.

Still recovering

Forced festiveness at Reston Town Center

At least WE liked ice skating

This is how you juggle two napless kids so your wife can chat with her friends

Santa came!

Candy cane sugar cookies for Caroline's party...except I ate them all. Oops.

This game is called "squish the baby".

This game is called grab the baby with your legs. She gets pushed around a lot but she's really tough.

Who is this big girl?!

This is considered a really bad traffic jam in my town.

Crafting! So messy!

Mommy's crafting mess is even bigger.

The baby gate makes it petting the kitty like going to a zoo!

True fact: I'm going to just throw this whole mess in boxes and hide it in the basement for the party.

Sibling loves

HOLY CRAP LOOK AT HOW CLEAR THAT PICTURE IS

SERIOUSLY, SO CRISP AND BRIGHT! (Caroline's first year book from Shutterfly)

NEW IPHONE CELEBRATORY SUNSET PICTURE

E is not as excited about the new phone as I am

At the 7th circle of hell aka Walmart for Ball jars and Dr. Seuss

Closeup baby is CLOSE

Practicing my DIY snowglobe project. That animal is actually a baby cow from a Toob.

It turns out that piping melted chocolate into fancy gorgeous snowflakes is a LOT HARDER than the internet makes it look. Shocking, I know.

Yes, Hello, We will buy ALL the pumpkins.

The portabello mushrooms were really just a goat-cheese-face-delivery device.

Late night toddler party

I ruined a beautiful morning by exercising.

Playdough playgroup

It is a universal truth that water from a faucet tastes better than water from a cup.

Does this LOOK like the face of someone being naughty?

I refuse to let him even try the big kid swings. He's not allowed to not need me!

Bebeh toes

Baconface

So close, yet so far away. Victims of a cruel mother.

Dreaming of a quiet bath of his own

No YOU were just dancing to the Olivia theme song

She loves this book.

Riding dirty (on the side of the shopping cart).

Too busy playing dollhouse to get dressed.

I like this.

Fine, if you won't let me eat those Oreos you snuck into your cart I'll eat my shoe.

My husband brought me a nice healthy salad for lunch...

...and then I went shopping for CARBS AND MEAT. Caaaaaarbs.

Caroline says "Gimme the boobs or I'll pop a cap in you, Mama".

That's my favorite part of a workout too.

We stopped at a yard sale where I bought NONE of these things. I actually own that white tray in the front and mine is in better condition.

Sleepy baby

It looks like all I buy is junk, but I promise the fruits and veggies are under the soda

I made a rookie mistake and left a tube of vaseline within reach of the toddler while I put Caroline down for a nap. SHINY!

CHOMPERS

6 pm - still in our jammies, playing angry birds

I knit a cowl. I hate it. I ripped it out again.

Evan INSISTED on wearing his sandals with his socks. Maybe he thinks he's European.

Last pick up at our CSA

Whoa, check out my HANDS, MAN. They're so BIG.

I was late for Stroller Strides because I was stuck on a 2 lane road while a pilgrim unloaded 40 kids from a school bus. New England is weird.

Handsome little man

I can't even stand it. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?

"Hey I found this in Mom's purse. Check it out." "Nope, no money in here. Guess we won't be running away today." "But she's buying BRUSSELS SPROUTS!"

So big!

Mama, I PUSH IT!

Halloween yarn wreath from @babybabylemon

The line for the new iPhone at the mall. I resisted the urge to join them.

Chub

Modesty bubbles

Up with the baby. Again.

"Mom, mom, mom, mom, mama, mom, mom, mom, mommy, mom, mom, mom, mom,mom!" "WHAT?!?!" "......Hi."

No watch news, OK, mama? Watch TV! No news. Okay.

Entrelac. It's interestesting, but not very fast.
