My Week(211) in iPhone Photos

Monday, November 17th, 2014

Linc has two bottom teeth. If you’ve ever had a 3 month old with teeth you will know why it has taken me two days to finish this post. And also why my right nipple hurts so bad I wish I could just cut it off.

I have a new game for you, called “count how many times Suzanne wears the babies in this week’s post”. The prize is then you get to judge me for being crazy.

Sunday:

I wore my wrap instead of a coat for our walk to church

FINALLY CONNECTICUT HAS YUENGLING THANK YOU

Boys in a bounce house = trouble

Monday:

Twins

My town is pretty cute sometimes

Much healthy, so good for me

Tuesday:

Like a scene from an end of the world movie

And then a some horses showed up and blew Caroline’s mind

Me: Caroline, want to be my model so I can test the light for a picture? Caroline: UGH.

Wednesday:

A Still Life Of The Kitchen Of A Woman Who DGAF: Volume 1,000,000

All those stupid power lines are ruining my enjoyment of this beautiful sky. WHO NEEDS ELECTRICITY ANYWAYS?

I put that on his head and then laughed at him.

Thursday:

Start ’em young!

That one is called Invisibility Cloak. Linc says “Am I invisible now?”

That’s Evan, solo back swimming in the deep end. SO BIG.

Friday:

Caroline likes being worn more than anyone else.

Being a ballerina is exhausting

As of right now my red tree is bare, but last week it was gorgeous

Saturday:

Real life: I bring my baby to photo sessions because he’s exclusively nursing, but sometimes it does not go well. Luckily the photos themselves are still awesome.

OH THANKS HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON SEQUEL, I WANTED TO CRY MY EYES OUT

Wraps make good blankies after rough days too.

And now I am going to go grit my teeth and nurse down the miserable baby AGAIN (and then give him some tylenol and gas drops and teething tablets and make sure his amber necklace is on and stand on one leg naked in the moonlight and ANYTHING ELSE that might help him with his sad mouth pain). Poor baby.

My Week(210) in iPhone Photos

Monday, November 10th, 2014

Late late late late late. But we spent ALL day Sunday out of the house and I spent all day today finishing all my photography stuff so I am completely caught up! Now maybe I can blog this week! Or maybe I’ll just say that and not do it again. That seems more likely.

Sunday:

Waiting in the ER is a lot easier with technology

Not impressed with my wrap skills or the tape on his head.

I am not the only one who loves wraps

Monday:

I sold this one, pretty much thanks to this picture

Beautiful evening light…at 3 pm.

CHEEKS

Tuesday:

Yes mother, that is a very nice fancy teether. Now if only I knew how to PUT IT IN MY MOUTH.

I can’t be mad about the mess when they’re practicing their words

Brother time

Wednesday:

I was too sick to wear the baby, so we did the grocery-pile-on-the-carseat method

All we did. All day.

My mail lady leaves treats for the dog

Thursday:

One of the last buildings left at the old hospital is being torn down (taken from a stopped car at a stop light, I’m not dumb enough to do it while driving).

Back floats

I am the worst, because I forgot the iPad and she had to just SIT while her brother had swim.

Friday:

Parenting win: taking the kids to a friend’s house to let them bounce while I watch from inside the warm house.

Then the friends came over for pizza and wine. NAILED IT, FRIDAY NIGHT.

DUCK JAMS

Saturday:

Never ending Halloween candy

Linc found his toes

One last sleeping baby

I spent a LOT of time under that baby this week. Usually I try to get stuff done while I sleeps but I felt TERRIBLE for the first half of the week and was busy catching up and seeing friends the second half, so nothing got done. Thank God for antibiotics and Netflix. I cannot believe it is already the second week of November. I refuse to do anything Christmasy until after Thanksgiving, but now I’m worried I’ll wake up and it will suddenly be mid-December and I won’t even have noticed. Why is 2014 going so fast?!

My Week(207) in iPhone Photos

Sunday, October 19th, 2014

I wore a lot of babies this week. I have to justify owning all these wraps somehow. Although I never thought I’d take/post so many selfies. What can I say, the wraps make me feel pretty.

Sunday:

The kids wanted Linc to play with them

Obviously I wore the nautical wrap to the seaport

Caroline pretending to be daddy in the submarine exibit

Monday:

Day off school = pjs and iPad

Wraps also make excellent blankets

Baby neck torture device is still a favorite

Tuesday:

When you buy a used wrap and your baby immediately falls asleep they say it came with “sleepy dust”.

Really excited about bananas

Basking in the glow of the TV while I catch up on Scandal

Wednesday:

Warm enough to wait for the bus outside!

When you live in an old house, sometimes walk tours stop to point at it.

Gorgeous night at Bluff Point for a session

Thursday:

He was happy it was raining so he could wear his cool fireman raincoat

She was happy it was raining so she could play with the umbrella

Swim on Thursday nights is EXHAUSTING

Friday:

THESE ARE NOT ALL MINE. Not even half mine. We had a meet up.

My mirror is filthy but there’s baby on my back!

This keeps happening. I think she might need day off.

Saturday:

Apple picking

Goodest good baby slept the whole time

This is almost not even like real life, right? Look at that huge empty field.

We had a busy week, and another busy week coming up, followed by nothing but busy weeks until Christmas. I don’t understand how it’s almost the end of October already, or how my baby will be three months this week or how it is almost 11 pm and I am still finishing this post and not sleeping. Time is such a jerk.

My Week(206) in iPhone Photos

Sunday, October 12th, 2014

Yesterday was gross and horrible. Today is gorgeous and perfect. Welcome to New England in the fall. Or anytime, really. We don’t do in betweens.

Sunday:

On a treasure hunt

I am really glad that is not my job.

Pirates love Friendly’s

Monday:

Wrap = nap, almost every time

Front porch swinging

Even Linc can’t handle how adorable he looks

Tuesday:

Consignment score: $10 total. That dress in the middle is from Harrod’s, the original price was more than $100.

They really love the post office

She fell asleep waiting for her turn to pick the movie

Wednesday:

Halloween is going to be epic

Bring your gingers to work night. Too bad they don’t get along with my clients.

Windy sunset

Thursday:

There’s a kid on Evan’s bus who likes to draw things for him. Since when are kids still making Stussy S’s????

Just keep swimming

A Bacon Turkey Bravo is my reward for an hour at the crowded, hot, LOUD pool.

Friday:

I like wraps because the pattern and the cute baby detract attention from my 4th day hair and no makeup face.

Sunset didn’t quite cooperate for my photoshoot, but the clouds are pretty

What big eyes you have at 11 pm.

Saturday:

The American cheese of VICTORY!

We went to the grocery store just to get a wrap nap

Linc is not fooled by sneak attack kisses

I keep thinking it is only October 2nd or 3rd, maybe 5th at the most. This month is going surprisingly fast and I’m not very happy about it – November is the start of Winter Misery in Connecticut and Winter Misery with three kids is going to be extra miserable. But for now we are going to do all the fall things: Chowder Days and the pumpkin patch and hayrides and apple picking and dragging the kids around town to find the best places for fall leaf pictures.
