This week was very long. Or at least it felt very long. I think all the weeks feel long when it’s SNOWING IN APRIL.
Sunday:
Morning baths are hilarious
Can you see that? Bright blue sky, GIANT SNOWFLAKES.
I took all of the ugly shirts out and replaced them with Mini Boden, because I am a kid clothes snob.
Monday:
Go home Connecticut, you’re drunk.
All my children should wear this color always
We made cupcakes for Evan’s birthday and I let them eat all the leftover frosting for dinner
Tuesday:
Too many fingers
Take all these cakes right over there to the checkout. All of them.
Neither of us is thrilled that he is NOT napping
Wednesday:
Linc agrees The Price is Right is the best way to spend the morning
The most delicious food you can eat – Fried Chicken Benedict from Hash House a Gogo
Casinoing like a champ
Thursday:
Loves his new diapers
Also loves plain grapefruit for breakfast
Better than snow?
Friday:
Linc is stalking my flowers
Everyone loves whatever this pointless game is
This is why I never have any water
Saturday:
Elephants
He would pretend to collect eggs and pretend to milk cows all day
GIANT BIRD WATCH OUT FOR THE GIANT BIRD
There is no snow in the current forecast. I feel very hopeful that we might actually get some spring in the near future, or at least less snow. I can’t handle much more snow. I’m too pregnant for snow. My entire maternity wardrobe is maxi dresses and cardigans, so it has to be at least 60 degrees as soon as possible. OK THANKS GOOD TALK.

This morning when I got in the car to go to a session the temperature said -3. Not 3 degrees below freezing, 3 degrees below ZERO. It barely warmed up during the day. Our furnace is struggling to keep the house warm and I really wish I never had to leave my couch nest of blankets ever again.
Sunday:
Nursing break during Mardi Gras Sunday at church
Evan really liked the parade
Visiting a friend on the maternity ward
Monday:
Checking out the snow
THREE CHILDREN playing trains together
Linc feels the same way I do about crunches
Tuesday:
Eating candy because his mother is a sucker
He says he’s ready to go play in the snow
No problem loving his own face
Wednesday:
I DON’T CARE IF IT’S SNOWING GO TO SCHOOL
There WAS a cat sitting back there
*ALMOST* 100% on the sight words!
Thursday:
BRB Googling flights to Hawaii
Naptime friends
Celebrating Daddy’s birthday
Friday:
Lincoln-date at the carousel
And at Red Robin (YUM)
And then my Valentine’s came early!
Saturday:
God Bless iPads so parents can sleep in
These two *heart eyes*
And these two!
LOOK AT THAT I GOT MY IPHONE POST DONE ON SUNDAY. I’m very impressed with myself. Now I’m going to go find some more blankets to hide under because it’s negative something degrees again and I do not like it. Even my winter layer isn’t keeping me warm anymore. Maybe I should eat another piece of that leftover cake from E’s birthday.
Because that seems like a much nicer option than cleaning up the house the kids trashed when they still have two days before they go back to school.

I don’t know, guys. My iPhone photos are getting worse and worse and I’m not sure this is even a thing worth posting anymore. I only do it because it seems like such a shame to quit now – I have every day of our lives since I was pregnant with CAROLINE documents in iPhone photos. But they’re not good photos. And I should really push myself to post actual content on the blog if I’m going to bother to blog at all, instead of just doing this once a week. I’m conflicted.
Sunday:
Poser
FOOTBAAAAAAALL
I am unable to stop myself from decorating for a party almost a week early
Monday:
Aspirational spring dress purchasing
Snow angels! FINALLY!
TWINNING
Tuesday:
I bought my mom fish like these at a craft fair this summer. These are at Target.
RAINBOWS AT TARGET
Important party shopping: sugar, flowers, lemons
Wednesday:
Tiny reader
Nappy time
Caroline is being supportive of Daddy’s workout
Thursday:
It is still Christmas at the florist
They both thought this was hilarious
Making caramel for the popcorn balls
Friday:
Linc and friends enjoyed the party food
We ate kind of a lot of baked goods
I TOTALLY forgot piano, but our teacher let us come late
Sunday:
Movies and house-trashing because…
…this was outside
She has given up on life because she can’t go out and build a snowman in a blizzard
We did not get the same giant storm that my parents did down in DC, but we got a few inches. The weather the rest of this week is supposed to be surprisingly warm, which means all that snow will melt and things will be boring and brown again. But it ALSO means we won’t have to sell any kidneys to afford oil to heat the house, so it’s a toss-up really. I’m still trying to find our floors after the combination of party-blizzard-snow day, because the kids seriously just destroyed EVERYTHING. It’s hard to find motivation when they’re just going to destroy stuff again.
I’ve already reached DESPONDENCE and it’s not even February. Send all the sunshine and salted caramel ice cream immediately.

January is just crawling by. It’s dark. It’s cold. The kids are making me INSANE every second they are home and not involved in a structured activity. They won’t stop torturing each other but they refuse to be separated. I feel so much sympathy for my own mother, since I’m pretty sure I was EXACTLY the same way with my sister as a child.
Sunday:
There was a thunderstorm, so Caroline tried to help Brutus be less scared
Frozen Monopoly
Linc cheering for the Golden Globes
Monday:
SURE FINE GO PLAY IPAD JUST STOP WHINING
Literally hiding from the whining
Judo time
Tuesday:
Babies who are awake at 7 have to come to the cold bus stop
Dentist sunglasses
Thank blankie is the most disgusting thing I have EVER seen.
Wednesday:
Loves swim
Love hoodies
I ordered this dress-up from China and it came in less than 2 weeks
Thursday:
Tiny sailor boy in his bunk
So cold, but so snuggly in his fox suit
By Grabthar’s Hammer, you will be missed
Friday:
Friends let friends eat their extra waffles
Piano lessons
Bored at the very busy grocery store
Saturday:
2 am. Baby screaming in my face while I try to watch Friends. #blessed
Super happy about her baby oranges
OK, I guess comforting his crying sister means he isn’t THAT much of a jerk
I have my first photoshoot of the year tomorrow and there is SNOW on the ground. I don’t know if my clients are super thrilled but I sure am. It’s going to be gorgeous. But cold. Super cold. So I plan to spend the rest of the day (no school!) hiding under a blanket while my husband (no work!) keeps the children from killing each other. Because that is what I do on the days HE has work. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

Once again, I love fall. I also love staying home and not doing things for several hours a day while the big kids are at school. It’s a good balance.
Sunday:
Pirates at the cider mill
Pirates at the paddleboard rental place
Tiny pirate at the ice cream stand sandbox
Monday:
I suspect the farmer actually paints these himself
Linc is very helpful while I’m editing #not
Wait. No. Stop. Come back.
Tuesday:
Applauding for The Price is Right because he’s a GOOD BABY
This corner of my house = a snapshot of our life
Yo ho ho and a bottle of milk
Wednesday:
Shopping cuddles
Brutus likes the new rug
This is not what I mean by babycakes, babycakes.
Thursday:
Wait for new IDs is way more relaxing when someone else can walk the baby up and down the halls
My bloggy thing at Boscovs was fun and delicious
Linc loves headbands
Friday:
Yay SPORTS
Fridays, man.
FRIDAYS, MAN.
Saturday:
Peewee soccer is adorable
My assistants waving goodbye to a mini session
Saturday mini session success, even with a nursing break in the middle.
So E was gone on an underway this month that ended up being twice as long as it should have been because of the hurricane. To apologize for the unnecessary sea time, work gave him a few days off, which means not only has he been home to help/enjoy all weekend, he gets Monday off too! That means a whole extra day of FALL FUN to do FALL FUN THINGS.
