The weather was warm enough to get outdoors this weekend, which was a nice change. I truly LOVE spring in New England, except for when it thinks it’s winter. Luckily I have tough, Connecticut children who don’t think 54 degrees requires jackets and are happy to spend a few hours at the zoo. We love the Roger Williams Park Zoo – it’s a nice size to do with the kids and the zookeepers are all happy to answer my curious children’s 10,000 questions.

His favorite zoo animal was the chickens. I don’t know why my baby is so weird.

This is Bert. He eats peanuts out of your hand.

I wear Linc 90% of the time (usually because we’re by ourselves) but it was SO NICE to have someone else to do it.

This week was very long. Or at least it felt very long. I think all the weeks feel long when it’s SNOWING IN APRIL.

Sunday:

Morning baths are hilarious

Can you see that? Bright blue sky, GIANT SNOWFLAKES.

I took all of the ugly shirts out and replaced them with Mini Boden, because I am a kid clothes snob.

Monday:

Go home Connecticut, you’re drunk.

All my children should wear this color always

We made cupcakes for Evan’s birthday and I let them eat all the leftover frosting for dinner

Tuesday:

Too many fingers

Take all these cakes right over there to the checkout. All of them.

Neither of us is thrilled that he is NOT napping

Wednesday:

Linc agrees The Price is Right is the best way to spend the morning

The most delicious food you can eat – Fried Chicken Benedict from Hash House a Gogo

Casinoing like a champ

Thursday:

Loves his new diapers

Also loves plain grapefruit for breakfast

Better than snow?

Friday:

Linc is stalking my flowers

Everyone loves whatever this pointless game is

This is why I never have any water

Saturday:

Elephants

He would pretend to collect eggs and pretend to milk cows all day

GIANT BIRD WATCH OUT FOR THE GIANT BIRD

There is no snow in the current forecast. I feel very hopeful that we might actually get some spring in the near future, or at least less snow. I can’t handle much more snow. I’m too pregnant for snow. My entire maternity wardrobe is maxi dresses and cardigans, so it has to be at least 60 degrees as soon as possible. OK THANKS GOOD TALK.
