My Week(21) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

Ready for the most boring week in iPhone photos EVER? This is what happens when you have the flu, then are in the hospital, then sick, then snow, all in one week. I PROMISE we’ll go somewhere next week so you can see pictures that don’t include my family room rug.

Sunday:

Caroline is already bored with this post.

The iPad is truly family entertainment

Monday:

Peek-a-boo!

Yeah, this is all I've got

Tuesday:

This is Little Evan's new favorite outfit. I think the camo pants make it EXTRA SPECIAL.

Hey look, I left the house! To go sit in a hospital for 5 hours.

Wednesday:

There was lots and lots of lying down on Wednesday

Luckily we are a family that really likes napping

Thursday:

Screw you New England

Somebody likes her exersaucer

When you use a baby carrier for Teddy, your hands are free for important things like flashcards.

And you can run REALLY FAST and not worry about dropping him!

Friday:

A beautiful day for some more time at the hospital

I wore my Allora Handmade earrings & got tons of compliments

I finally got some time to relax. Hey, it's your turn on WWF.

Saturday:

Crazy hair and an adorable shirt

Doing a little work around the house

I have no idea what we’re going to do to day but it will NOT be sit on the couch and veg. I’m going to lose my freakin’ mind if I have to listen to this whining echo around the same two rooms for one more minute. MIND. LOST.

Friday, March 11th, 2011

I’m MIA today because I spent the whole morning finishing knitting this thing together:

It’s not very stylish but it’s such a happy color and was so easy to make I think I love it.

Plus I wrote a post for my dear friend Hannah over on her blog, Peggy Ann Design. It’s about organizing my cookbook shelf. I know, really riveting stuff. Check her out!

Then this afternoon I’ve got my pre-op appointment with the urologist so HOPEFULLY this whole kidney thing will be over for good in the very near future.

And if I get my way we’ll finish the day with a trip to Ikea for dinner. Such a nice Friday!

See you tomorrow for my iPhone wrap up!

 

My Week(18) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Sunday:

Giant Toddler towers over the tiny dog

Like two peas in a pod. Or two popcorn kernels in a, uh, Popsecret bag.

Monday:

His hockey stick is now a horse, and he gallops around going "NEY NEY NEY!!"

Playdoh playtime! I get the strongest urge to eat it. But I don't. Usually.

Putting his feet up while he gets a little work done on the laptop.

Tuesday:

Eating yogurt with the antique silver. He insists on the best.

Poor Caroline's bald spot is getting out of control. Good thing her face is so cute.

He's like some sort of crazy toddler superhero with those infant sunglasses strapped to his face.

Wednesday:

He reads "That's not my dinosaur!" as "No...no...no...ESSSSS!!"

Brutus enjoyed a break from the rainy weather

BEBEH GIRL SHOES. I want to buy them all. And, uh, maybe that white pair in my size?

Thursday:

Shhh, don't tell her her polka dot camouflage isn't working!

Apparently we needed to play with ALL the toys that morning.

Little Evan recently started loving on the bear I knit for him. And by "loving on" I mean "carrying around to hit people with and/or throw in air while laughing maniacally."

Friday:

We finally - FINALLY - left the house and made it to knit-a-long at Mothers of Purl.

We all watched Toy Story 3, some of us from the couch, some from our desks

Saturday:

Whoa, so many colors. It's like a baby acid trip.

We didn’t actually do much at all this week (because of sickness)(and a little laziness) but I’d say we still had more good days than bad ones. Although we had some really really bad MOMENTS – like when the toddler fell off the couch onto the sleeping infant in her bouncy seat (everyone was ok) or when the toddler hit the infant in the head with a hockey stick, got a time out, was released from time out, hit her in the head AGAIN and then asked joyfully, “TIME OUT?! TIME OUT!?” (everyone was ok again…except for my patience).

Today we went on a hunt for a twin-sized bed to start the transition from nursery to little boy room but didn’t end up buying anything. I don’t know who designs kid’s room furniture but dude, most of that stuff is hideous. Or HUGE. Or is so style-specific it only goes with other pieces from that collection…and I already have a perfectly good dresser and bookcases thankyouverymuch. Don’t furniture retailers realize that by the time a kid is 2 or 3 their parents have already gotten WAAAAY past the “everything in this nursery must match! nothing but the best for my snuggy-wuggums!!” stage? Nursery furniture is where your market is folks. Just make me a nice neutral not-too-high wooden twin bed. Sorry, furniture sales people make me ranty. I think we’re going to end up at Ikea.

My Week(15) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

Sunday:

We all spent some time on our laptops

And watched the Superbowl. Little Evan wasn't so sure about the half-time show. My (unpopular) opinion was it was way better than the last few years.

Monday:

We played a little 7 am pajama hockey

And we made it back to Stroller Strides for the first time since I had Caroline!

I had an OB appointment across from where I used to work. Doesn't it look super depressing? Makes me glad I don't have to go there anymore.

Tuesday:

We made it to Stroller Strides AGAIN! No one tell Little Evan these things move if you put money in, OK?

It wouldn't be a weekly round-up without a lying-on-the-dog picture.

Wednesday:

Stroller Strides! Aren't you totally in love with that blanket? It's Bird E Studios (@simplerika on Twitter). I won a credit to her shop & this is what I ordered.

3 days of Stroller Strides really wore me out, so we had a little lie-down during Evan's naptime.

At the yarn shop for Knit Night. I did almost no knitting because of a cranky baby but it was nice to socialize.

Thursday:

Skipped SS for some Target shopping for E's birthday present. That toy Evan is holding has enterained him for 3 full days.

Fuzzy hat!

I had a very productive nap time, making tutus...

...and doing a little knitting.

Friday:

Play time with Friend A after Stroller Strides.

Adorable onesie made by the adorable @lifeversiontwo

Sushi + antsy toddler = HUGE mess. It wasn't a very relaxing meal but it was delicious.

Saturday:

Westerly, RI. I took Caroline down for some photos with Kade (who did our family maternity shoot) but she screamed the WHOLE time.

Car window shot of Foxwoods Casino - I drive past on my way to RI. I miss the days when we were cool enough to go there.

McDonald's made their milkshakes all fancy. But they taste the same.

E enjoying his new Kinect. It takes pictures of you while you play. That you can put online, say, perhaps on a blog.

Did you count? That was FOUR days at Stroller Strides. I could barely walk by the evenings but felt good enough to go again the mornings. I WILL be able to do more than zero sit-ups by the end of March.

My Week(14) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Sunday:

Someone woke up a grumpy pants

But we cured that with a little fort-building

Silly face!

Monday:

No, YOU took your pajamas off overnight!

As much as I hate these carts, they're the only thing that makes grocery shopping with both kids possible right now.

We stopped by the yarn store to spend a little of my Christmas gift certificate (Thanks Erin!)

Tuesday:

Reading books in the playroom

My child suffers from a severe case of lost-sock-itis

More Silly Face!

Wednesday:

Cereal! With a spoon! And milk! It's his new favorite.

I organized my knitting bag(s) so I could focus

And turned Monday's yarn purchase into a scarf

Thursday:

Chillin in her new outfit - pretty much the only one I've EVER bought her

BEBEH SHOES! I was so proud she was totally dressed when we went out - too bad she was in the car seat covered in a blanket the whole time so no one saw.

They're renovating our Target. It's very exciting.

Friday:

E and I both woke up with food poisoning, so things got a little...messy

I felt EVEN WORSE than this

Saturday:

I call this one "Portrait of a Child Whose Parents Are Still Recovering And Don't Want to Leave the House"

This is my version of decorating for Valentine's Day. The vase with the orange things is from Thanksgiving.

And the hat is from Christmas
