“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.

Wonder baby on her Wonder Pony.

Whee! Really high!!

Bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles

Fell asleep at 7 am on Daddy’s iPhone

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!

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.

Feeding the ducks, adorably.

Cherry berry chiller. WELL DONE McDonald’s.

Who says I need a nap?

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!

You want me to share my Goldfish? I'm not so sure.

Pie crust helper

Mini-vacation aka Solo grocery shopping

One of my favorite old houses on our walk to the library

Concentrating gingers

It's a ghost! Oh, wait, no. It's just a miserable screaming baby I threw a blanket over.

Crap.

Daaaaaawwwwww

Spice rub for my salmon with mango salsa

5 am. Thank God for iPhones.

Crouching baby, hidden hobo

I'm melting! I'm meeeeeelting!!!!

The patio furniture display at Target is almost as good as a real playground

Happy it's nap time

Business lady off to do important business

Stroller Strides drill instructor - PUSH IT! I WANNA SEE YOU SWEAT!

Feeding the quack quacks

Beluga watching

If you call garage sales "treasure hunting" your pirate loving children will do it for HOURS

So much furniture to refinish, so little time. And motivation.

Big girl bed. Exactly what I wanted to get her (eventually) and $30 at a yard sale. She slept in it last night with zero issues.

Couch nap has devolved into floor nap

I've pretty much ruined my pinking sheers and also my hand.

Dinner battles are exhausting

No YOUR Halloween jammies still fit in March

Neckwarmer cat is reading over your shoulder

Toddler-built train track

Singing the stretching song at Stroller Strides

Evan and I painted five dozen Easter eggs to make them dinosaur eggs...but it didn't work very well. I ordered green ones instead.

LOVE

Morning iPad

World's Strongest Baby!

Shockingly, this did not end in tears

I don't think that's going to fit in the ball popper, but you can try.

I couldn't find a travel mug so I put my coffee in a kid's cup from Chili's

Ridiculous

Super Firefighter Evan TO THE RESCUE!

Lap nap ginger head

Early birthday presents are EXCITING

We have three cousins visiting, so of course the kids picked the VERY LOUDEST POSSIBLE ACTIVITY

She's bouncing her train on her horse and it's the best joke ever.

Caroline refused to drop her truck even while she was nursing.

Because what I need right now is MORE living things acting needy.

LOUD NOISES.

Don't even THINK about trying to help her.

He's replaced actual at-home naps with 5 minute car naps.

I put in my headphones and cleaned, including this COMPLETELY filthy mirror

Obsessed with baby dolls.

Despondent dinosaur is despondent

It's much easier to control two kids at Target when you give one of them to someone else to deal with.

Life is SO UNFAIR when your mother dresses you in leggings.

Let me tell you a horror story. Once upon a time there was a teething baby who screamed ALL THE TIME! Ahhhhh!

First gymnastics class! Some of the moms were a little...intense when it came to their TWO YEAR OLDS but we liked it.

Oh good, I was worried about nuclear fallout.

Outside in January, enjoying the 60 degree weather before the ice caps all melt and drown us.

10 am nap from ALL THE CRYING.

Stripey legs

And then THIS ONE fell asleep on the floor and refused to wake up. Even after Caroline jumped on his head.

You'd think I don't feed this kid, what with the trying to eat his stroller.

I am smiling because Stroller Strides is over.

More floor naps. I took the hint and on Saturday he got a real nap.

The reason ALL MY PICTURES this week are of sleeping kids is because it was the only time they weren't covered in snot and screaming.

Even the packed grocery store was a nice change from the angry babies.

"Oh I see now Daddy! You fly on the dragon to defeat the wizard because you're a HUGE DORK. Got it!"
