As I type thing, I am drinking a boozy milk shake that contains a ground up chocolate chip cookie and coconut fudge ice cream. Just to give you some context on how TOTALLY worth it the 16 hour drive to South Carolina is.
Sunday:
The rarest animal in the aquarium: my husband
Cupcake face
I took this picture with a telephone.
She’s a cat burglar making her getaway.
Monday:
PEEK A BOO
Extremely loud trip to BJ’s
Happy Birthday Mr. Sendak. We’ll keep the wild rumpus going for you.
Tuesday:
Hanging up his coat for his last day of school
She really, really loves lemonade
Taking the animals to the vet
Wednesday:
Stuck in traffic and we haven’t even left Connecticut. Evan’s face explains it all.
Too cool for Delaware
Old timey fun with Mormor
Friday:
Spoiled, spoiled children
Spoiled, spoiled me
Never leaving.
Saturday:
Pre-pool relaxation
A very Low Country lunch
Who needs forks when you can pick up your cake like a sandwich?
I can’t even believe we have MORE DAYS of vacation before we leave…and when we do we have MORE FUN STUFF to do before we go back to Connecticut. My children are going to sleep for a week when we get home. It will be glorious.

New York City twice in one week! Which means on the non-busy days we were extremely non-busy.
Sunday:
Still not sure about this car wash thing.
1 kid + 1 pair of scissors = 30 minutes of silence for me
Unimpressed with Brooklyn
Monday:
It turns out the only reason my fridge looked full was all the expired stuff.
I have no idea who this is, but she looks SO uncomfortable.
Still recovering from Sunday
Tuesday:
6:22 am and a full bed
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Also still tired from Sunday.
Wednesday:
Hello New York
Gary works for Disney, so he was REALLY enthusiastic, even at 8 am.
Caroline always reads the menu, even though she ALWAYS orders a cheeseburger.
Thursday:
I don’t even know HOW the cereal ends up all the way over here when she sits on the OTHER side of the bowl.
Twinsssssss
Perfect park day
Friday:
Helping me get the oil changed on the van
I tried to talk the kids into this one, but they picked Peter Pan. Again.
Writing my last Arrested Development review for TVFanatic while the kids watch Justice League.
Saturday:
Holding hands
I swear I didn’t spike his sandwich with sleeping pills
Happy Girl
This week is vacaaaaaaation! And so is next week! There’s going to be so much beaching and swimming and laking and eating and sleeping. I’m doing it on my own with the kids again, but we’ll have a large assortment of fake aunts and uncles plus a real aunt and uncle plus my parents at various points to help keep Evan and Caroline alive, so hopefully I can manage. Expect the blog to be 90% photos until we get back.

Based on my pictures, I think we can officially say summer has started here.
Sunday:
Is this a New England thing? I hadn’t ever had it before we moved here and now it’s my favorite.
Shopping helper
All 15 episodes watched in one day. Obsessed.
Monday:
Photo of the parade photographer. So meta.
Dual swinging skillz
Screw you, tree helicopters. Say hello to my little friend, the leafblower.
Tuesday:
Gas station fashion shot
No, of course I didn’t feed the kids donuts for lunch. Why would you think that?
PLEASE SWING PLEASE SWING PLEASE MOOOORE SWING!
Wednesday:
C’mon Rhode Island, maybe try repaving ONE SIDE at a time?
Checking out Inara the Anteater.
Petting a Moon Bear. Maybe if he was named for a Firefly character I’d know his name too.
Thursday:
One of the benefits of going to the gym is finally catching up on magazines
Beach babies
That “sand” is really more like dirt, but it works.
Friday:
Ducky friends! Baby duckie friends! So many duckies!
11:00 am. BLERG.
LOOK WATER I LIKE IT! – says the child who didn’t like the water 24 hours before.
Saturday:
Indoor, air-conditioned playground birthday party. Best idea ever.
PEEK A BOO
She accidentally ate the bubbles almost every time
The next week is going to be a busy one for me – TWO trips into NYC for fun blogging stuff. The weather is supposed to be a little more reasonable too (70′s instead of 90′s) so we can go back to doing other fun stuff besides hiding at the lake. Not that I really MIND hiding at the lake, I just don’t think I can afford to go through that much sunscreen every single week.

So sorry, so late, so not really caring because of the holiday weekend.
Sunday:
Toast on the couch
Naps on the couch
Bath…not on the couch
Monday:
Rockstar #1 at the dentist
Rockstar #2 at the dentist
Rain-shmain, it’s playground time.
Frozen yogurt as a reward for being a rockstar.
Tuesday:
Summer has officially started
PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SUMMER THING.
I’m pretty excited too.
Wednesday:
This is how mommy sleeps in.
Cartwheel practice
She insists on reading in bed, even after I turn the light off.
Thursday:
My little thrift shoppers helping me pop some tags.
Poison dart frog in yo face
Oh look, I found my fisheye lens.
Friday:
The cutest matching not-twins ever.
Caroline disapproves of the commissary.
Judgy cat is judging me for…whatever. Everything.
Saturday:
The best part about going to birthday parties is playing with other people’s toys.
Welcome to my tent. Please take your shoes off and bring me a cookie.
This is Evan’s idea of being helpful when I try to take his picture. So helpful.
It’s 9 pm Monday night, which means the long weekend is officially over. E actually got 2 full days off and we fit in as much fun as possible – TWO parades on Monday! I also took pictures for two different friends and I’m buckling down to get my editing done. I’m actually HOPING for rain at least one day this week so I don’t feel bad keeping the kids inside. I’ll make up for it with a beach or two when it hits 85 later in the week.

Sunday:
Buying myself a few extra minutes to sleep in on Mother’s Day.
Crazy joy riding kids
Cheesy cheeses
Monday:
There’s a snake (and a ginger) in my bed!
Thinking deep, piratey thoughts.
Brutus would sleep in here all night if I let him.
Tuesday:
And then my uterus started crying
Evan is skeptical of the safety of these extremely sketching swings
Get outta my way, tiny ginger COMING THOUGH!
Wednesday:
I think they do better push-ups than I do.
Oh look, basically my entire childhood on a table.
Reading to dolly
Thursday:
I think she found her summer job
How does your garlic grow? BIG. SO BIG.
Yep, definitely putting her to work on the farm.
Friday:
She just realized her shoes are adorable.
Some days it’s hard to believe this is real life.
They tricked the deli lady into giving them way too much cheese
Saturday:
Emergency response gingers, to the rescue!
Evan was surprisingly good at the hula hoop. Caroline tried really hard.
Best birthday party ever? I THINK SO.
SO MUCH SUNSHINE this past week. I need to buy some more sunscreen immediately. Or maybe I need a super cool hat so I fit in with my kids. Right now I’m hoping I FINALLY managed to tire them out past a 6 am wake-up call, but I’m not holding my breath and plan to go to sleep right now. Soon. Probably. Maybe after to more glasses of wine.
