Pretend today is Sunday instead of Monday and this isn’t super late. Except that if it was Sunday I wouldn’t be getting this nice 60 minutes of quiet to watch Dateline repeats and blog because my baby decided sleeping was stupid and we spent the whole day outside trying to wear him (and the big kids) out. So just forgive me for being late.
Sunday:
It’s a whole set for playing while moms take photos
We agreed that painting pumpkins was OK even though TECHNICALLY it wasn’t October yet
Someone was really sure he didn’t need a nap last Sunday too
Monday:
ONCE AGAIN, not sleeping during assigned sleeping times
Checklist for the next house: Climbing Tree
This is why Linc still has his own room
Tuesday:
rain OH SO YOU WERE TIRED? I’M SHOCKED.
Yesssssssssss
Real Life Babywearing: Toddler lies on the floor next to my $350 wrap
Wednesday:
They like the rain because they love umbrellas
At least the cat like the new rug
Their relationship summarized in one photo
Thursday:
I’m sort of trying to sell some wraps, but I hate selling wraps so I’m not doing a great job.
That face is because he wants to be in the pool with the big kids (swim lessons)
So, I did some stuff to my hair.
Friday:
Brutus crashed our playgroup
This color with his eyes = A++++
Someone seems to have left my snack smushed on the couch.
Saturday:
LOOK AT THAT BABY PRETENDING HE IS A BIG KID SILLY BABY
We found a Pinkberry
Sleep! That’s where I’m a protractor! (Most random kid’s meal toy ever.)
My computer just decided NOW would be an ideal time to start acting up, so I’m going to go bang my head against a wall and moan. Seems like the best use of my time. I would really like it if things could just be NORMAL and BORING and AVERAGE for the rest of the week. Boring sounds really nice right now.

Once again I DID a lot more stuff than my photos show. When I have my big girl camera with me I have a hard time remembering to use my phone to also take photos so you get a lot of babywearing selfies in this post.
Sunday:
When you are a grumpy mess by 7 am, you get to hold your blankie even when you’re wrapped
Monkey see, monkey do
Caroline looks like she’s about to fly right off that swing
Monday:
Airplane watching
He rode the whole way in the stroller, but is too tired to walk 10 steps to the car
They have a case of the Monday’s
Tuesday:
That’s a really brave fishing spot
Little boy in the big woods
He really, really loves my wallet?
Wednesday:
His first time ever in the mall playground, poor deprived child
WATCH OUT IT’S A BOUNTY HUNTER
We’ve been eating a lot of pasta salad
Thursday:
He’s not a huge selfie fan
STILL NOT A FAN
Sqeeeeeezing out one more beach day
Friday:
He loves traffic
Editing is fun again, because I get to do it kid-free during nap time
AND I can edit while watching EXCELLENT MOVIES
Saturday:
He kept trying to play peek-a-boo behind the chain link.
OH GOODY WE’RE DOING SOCCER AGAIN
She wouldn’t even let me wash it off before bed
This week is our first full week with EVERYTHING: Judo, ballet, swim and soccer. It’s good and bad. I like keeping the kids really busy even in after-school hours because if they’re doing an activity then they’re not staring at the ipad or the tv. But when they get really tired they’re walking time bombs of tears and disappointment. We’re still working on the balance, especially because our weekends have also been really full. Maybe once the weather isn’t so fantastic we’ll stay inside and all take naps on Saturdays.

I feel like our week was a lot busier than these photos make it look, but I can’t remember why.
Sunday:
I promise they actually enjoy the zoo
Evan said he made a rabbit art sculpture and requested I take a photo
Linc’s going to miss the lake
Monday:
GOOD BYE LAKE 2015
NO I WON’T GO YOU CAN’T MAKE ME
I de-laked the back of the minivan
Tuesday:
Free range parenting
Important cutting homework
Not a great sign on the way TO ballet
Wednesday:
Kettlecorn is everyone’s favorite
MY DADDYYYYYYY
I didn’t even have to fake the skies in my photos from this session
Thursday:
Boooooo bus stop in the rain
Off to explore the aquarium on his own.
AVERT YOUR EYES, I’M BREASTFEEDING IN THIS PHOTO
Friday:
One baby got to watch Elmo during her breathing treatment, so ALL the babies needed to watch.
My baby is the cutest.
But not the most cooperative with photos.
Saturday:
Caroline really likes carousels
I took the same picture last year but he was tiny and asleep in a wrap
Evan is obsessed with winning a giant stuffed animal
This week is Week 2 Of All The Fall Activities Starting which means we add Judo for Evan. I’m really hoping it helps with his ability to focus on something OTHER than an iPad and maybe control his body a little bit more when it comes to school. So now we’re up to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday activities. Next week we add swim.
My hope is eventually we’ll all be so tired we sleep 12 hours a night every night. I am totally up for a 6 pm bedtime.

First full week of school, last weekend of the summer. The transition is going as well as I can expect, which is to say the kids are taking turns being COMPLETLY exhausted and having breakdowns. And Linc thinks he’s suddenly grown.
Sunday:
PUMPKIN SPICE ATTACK
Babywearing runs in the family
Big kid doing big kid stuff
Monday:
Driving the playscape
Don’t look so judgy baby, it’s just a liquor store run.
Climber
Tuesday:
Apparently he’s allergic to…something? I think it’s the baby wipes.
School is EXHAUSTING
He’s obsessed
Wednesday:
I tried wearing lipstick. Linc thinks it’s a mistake. I think I agree.
OMG GUISE THIS BRIDGE THING BOUNCES
I joked that he was going to sleep in her bed and she was not amused
Thursday:
Jogging! For like, 4 seconds. But I want credit.
Connecticut ends here
I’M TRAPPED IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION
Friday:
His new favorite spot
Niantic is adorable
The kids were super excited about the babywearing in this book.
Saturday:
Apparently no one else wanted to spend a gorgeous Saturday at the lake. Idiots.
I brought all the car wraps in to wash them. Such a pretty pile.
So I guess he’s just big now.
We have one last #lakelife day tomorrow as long as Evan doesn’t sleep the entire day. Or I do. 8 hours of sleep would be a dream come true and because Linc didn’t get ANY nap today I have my fingers crossed he’ll let me sleep in. Our fall activity schedule starts this week and then goes into full crazy mode next week so I need as much rest as I can get. I’m already reminding myself that I did this to myself and it won’t last forever. I suspect in the spring we’ll sign up for exactly zero things to recover.

The kids went back to school this week, which mean my photos are going to be Linc-heavy for next…forever.
Sunday:
SO READY
Grocery store assistant
High chair? Why would I need a high chair?
Monday:
Where am I?! What year is this???
Preparing for her show
I bleach shampooed my hair. I’ll do a real post about it but the short review is A++
Tuesday:
Babies are hilarious
Evan agrees. Babies, man.
How we got through Back to School night
Wednesday:
First day of school! BUH-BYE!
A rainbow wrap and a pink truck. MY KID IS DOOOOOOMED.
The Book Barn is my new favorite
Thursday:
Aquarium playdate
IT’S SO QUIET
Starting her young
Friday:
Waving bye-bye to the bus is super fun
Living the toddler dream
Fair Life
Saturday:
I’m not sure we brought enough watermelon
He’s going to miss eating sand SO MUCH
Blankets are pretty much his favorite thing in the whole world
I am SO happy to have the kids back at school, even though school brings a whole new level of stress and deadlines and homework and one zillion pieces of paper that need my attention. They need the structure of school and the friends and the break from me (and my often short temper) right now. I figure by Christmas we’ll all be super excited to hang out together again. Right now I’m just going to enjoy the crap out of my one tiny baby who can’t talk back.
And if I say “Christmas” again before December, please punch me in the face.
