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.
This might have been one of the most fun weeks ever. Or maybe my memory is skewed by the super fun day we had on Saturday. Also, HOLY COW, I’ve been doing this for one hundred weeks. 700 days. That’s a lot of iPhoning.
Sunday:
Caroline thinks perhaps this is not a good idea.
Proud to be a big brother, especially when his sister’s napping and he doesn’t have to deal with her.
She thinks the fake doll juice is HILARIOUS.
Monday:
Adorable child is adorable.
When do they turn into drooling messes instead of tiny angels when they sleep?
Preschool open house reveals Mommy definitely picked a fancier family photo than any of the other moms.
Tuesday:
If the iPad app is educational, I don’t have to feel bad about sleeping in for 30 minutes, right?
I believe that is called “nom nom nomming”
My 3 year old is a monster.
Wednesday:
My children are so attractive.
Gymnastics prodigy
She’s NOT. EVEN. TWO. YET.
Thursday:
I think this is love, not attempted murder.
Big boy haircut was a mistake. (I WANT MY BAYBEEEE BACK)
No, SERIOUSLY, when do I start worrying my kids might murder someone?
Friday:
Picking up brother from school-face.
Shut up, the Tinkerbell movies are awesome.
Daddy cuddles in a tiny bed
Saturday:
Grand Central Station is Grand.
Chilling out at Playdate In The City
Hiding from the paparazzi at Whole Foods.
It turns out taking 2 kids into NYC is a little bit exhausting, so I spent all of Sunday recovering. Also, someone smashed in my car window to steal my crappy $120 GPS from the train parking lot in New Haven, so I had a teeny tiny little breakdown trying to figure out how to handle it (answer: fill out paperwork for lot attendant, brush glass off seat, drive home with the heat blasting). I’m hoping it doesn’t rain until I can get it fixed. But BESIDES that, the week was all super awesome, so it’s easy to feel very glass-half-full. They didn’t steal the car! Or the car seats! Or any of the other stuff! My kids are adorable and everyone agrees! I really love my life.
My week was going really well until Caroline’s accident on Friday. (In case you missed my Tweets/FB updates/Instagrams she fell at the playground and broke her collar bone.) It was pretty traumatic for all of us. It’s also put a damper on our fall plans, our playdate schedule and Caroline’s budding gymnastics career. Poor thing. So we’re taking things easy and cruising right through our Disney DVD collection.
Sunday:
He insisted my boots fit him just fine.
We made it to church! And it didn’t burn down or anything!
I love this stroller but it REALLY NEEDS A CUP HOLDER.
Monday:
MORNING toothbrushing? Whose children are these?
Lion fish are badass
Hi Beluga, I love you.
Tuesday:
Sewing helper! Tuesday was GET THIS DAMN COSTUME DONE Day.
Mostly done…
…THERE’S my magical pixie!!
Wednesday:
Color matching uneven bars foot bean bag toss – he rocked it.
BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY – Caroline
He transferred from a car nap to a couch nap that lasted 3 hours. I have NO IDEA why.
Thursday:
Easily distracted by things in the dirt
22 lb baby vs. 10 lb kettle bell. She is SO STRONG.
Scenic, tragic waterfall
Friday:
I took a picture to commemorate NOT wearing yoga pants.
That slide in the background is what she fell off the top of, 2 minutes after I took this photo.
Sponge Bob in the ER – I hate the damn show but it certainly kept Evan quiet for 2 hours.
Saturday:
The patient demanded a popsicle for breakfast, the patient gets a popsicle.
Tired from a day of doing…nothing.
Cheerful enough for a bath. Thank goodness, she was covered in popsicle.
So if you need me, I’ll be over here feeling like the world’s worst mom. Good times.

This week’s photos are a little Caroline heavy, but since Evan refuses to hold still long enough for me to take his picture anymore it’s his own fault if someday he looks back at the blog and wonders if I loved his sister more. Not MORE, honey. She’s just EASIER.
Sunday:
“Watering” the flowers. Poor Caroline is already mad she can’t pee standing up.
NO NAP, MOMMY. I’M NOT TIRED.
That’s the face I make when I watch Mythbusters too.
Monday:
Wonder baby on her Wonder Pony.
Whee! Really high!!

Peek a boo!
SLIIIIIIIIIDE!

What do you mean I’m doing it wrong?
She ate almost this entire container in the car on the way home.
TORTURE! TORTURE! SOMEONE CALL CPS!
Thursday:
Sup?
I’ve got a plan! And what’s the plan? JAM!
Ughhhhhhhhh THIS is why every town in Connecticut has their own stuff. The highways suck.
Friday:
Feeding the ducks, adorably.
Cherry berry chiller. WELL DONE McDonald’s.
Who says I need a nap?
Saturday:
SUPER HAPPY GOOD FUN TIMES down at waterfront park
Amistad! (Missing a mast, since it wouldn’t fit under the river on the bridge)
This is the only mobile bell casting company in the country! I got a piece of the mold they used to cast the bell!
And THEN we spent the afternoon hanging out at a friend’s super swanky marina pool and grilling on their sailboat. I have a pretty impressive sunburn. My kids are totally passed out. Tomorrow for Father’s Day I’m making pancakes and bacon and then mowing the lawn while my husband takes a nap. I’ll wear sunscreen.

Bonjour! No I'm not French, it just sounded fancy. Sorry for the confusion. I'm Suzanne, a 30-year-old Navy wife, blogger, baker, and amateur at pretty much everything else.
