It really might as well be week one million. It feels like week one million.
Sunday:
I hung out with the cutest, chillest baby ever at the Community Baby Shower
My teeny little table showing off my work
Don’t worry, I pulled over before I took this picture out the car window of the regatta in the river
Monday:
I took this picture AND threw that ball. Impressed????
School makes him tired.
Princess Sadface was sad, so we had lots of extra cuddles
Tuesday:
I bought ALL THE GROCERIES. I also broke my crock pot (the second one!) so I can’t make half the stuff I planned.
I like this spot.
Evan likes this spot too.
Wednesday:
Saying good morning to Fred, the giant fake Halloween spider
Face painting at school. She meowed all afternoon.
Reading on the front porch
Thursday:
All the RescueBots HAVE to come outside to wait for the bus with Evan.
Mr. Incredible from Enterprise. They’re office of superheroes was the best part of my day.
Trick or treating at the fancy houses
They actually liked handing out candy more than collecting it
Friday:
It wasn’t actually raining, but the gingers do not care. Umbrellas make them look jaunty.
WTF Target, it’s only NOVEMBER FIRST.
I wasted fancy hair and spanx on a lousy event for E’s work.
Saturday:
My assistant at the morning photo shoot got a liiiiitle dirty
We have too many couches right now, but at least it means they can watch iPad OVER THERE and leave me alone.
Yes, she is wearing her costume AGAIN. At least it was at a costume party.
E’s submarine was commission on Saturday, which means they’re one step closer to being a fully functioning boat that goes to sea. That is both good news (no more shipyard!) and bad news (deployments) but it also means he’s going to be working even more over the next couple of weeks. Since this is still the busy season for pictures too, I suspect there will be a lot of late nights for the next month. Although it hardly matters now, since it’s 4:55 pm and PITCH BLACK outside. Thanks for nothing, daylight savings time.
In blog news: I’m about 3 meals into a brand new round of What’s For Dinner – which I haven’t done in a crazy long time – and it’s nice to be cooking new stuff again. I can only handle taco salad and spaghetti so many times before I give up and let my family eat pop tarts and grapes for dinner. So watch for that sometime next week!

How is it humanly possible for Evan to work MORE?
Broken slow cooker? Can you slap the stuff in a dutch oven/heavy covered pot in the oven at 250* for a while?
Yay! I missed your dinner posts.
How does one break a crockpot? I’ve never owned one so I’m actually really asking this question.
Also – I was out looking for green pantyhose for my husband’s costume, and any other little fun bits I might pick up, 6 days before Halloween and was astonished to encounter stores where the employees were actively packing things up in boxes already and the shelves were mostly already emptied and put away. DUDE!!! SIX DAYS OF SHOPPING TO GO, THEN AFTER HALLOWEEN SALES YOU KNOBS!
Nice fancy hair :)
Commissioned already?! Hot damn they were quick with that boat. Is it staying in CT as it’s home port? 40 more days and we will be in town, yay!
Christened. E yelled at me for using the wrong word, but I’m lazy. Commissioning is in May.
I love seeing all four of my kids in your photo display! So fun. :)
I’m stalking your dinner posts for new ideas of my own since Dragon Noodles.
I’m sort of a freak and I really want to just do Christmas shopping and get through the holidays so they can just be done for the year. Onward!
