I took a nap today, because I felt like I might actually die if I didn’t. I’m not even crazy sleep deprived or anything, I had just hit the wall of touched-out and busy and mentally tired of staying on top of everything. Caroline’s party is this Saturday and Christmas is next week and then we have one more visit to finish up 2014…and then I am never leaving the house again. 2015 will be the year ALL THE THINGS get organized and clean using only supplies I can order through Amazon Prime so I don’t have to wear pants.

Sunday:

The toys in Ohio are more fun than any of the toys in Connecticut

SHUT UP WITH THOSE EYELASHES

Thank you Aunt Sara and Uncle Sean!

Monday:

I’m keeping this monstrosity on the DVR FOREVER

This is how he feels about the 12 hours we spent driving back from Ohio

THE GARDEN OF THE FUTURE did great without me here

Tuesday:

It’s weird that the post office is open in the dark

Still loves it. Judge me.

Cutest stomach tumor ever

Wednesday:

Grocery shopping is boring for him but excited for me because this wrap is super pretty

I told him about Santa

SWEATER PANTS!!!

Thursday:

Snow! On a day we didn’t have a delay. Unlike the day where we had a delay for rain.

Doesn’t care about the cold.

Helping me make dinner

Friday:

Less organized than the last time I posted a picture of our playdate stash

Olde Mystickee Villageeeee was decorated for Christmas

The aquarium was NOT FUN amounts of crowded, but at least we weren’t cold

Saturday (with extra pictures, because it was really fun!):

Why yes, I do look adorable in this sweater outfit and rainbow

The Florence Griswold Museum was like all my historic home dreams come true

AND WE FOUND ELSA

Fascinated by football at lunch

Pretending to be cold while we wait for Santa

He really likes the lights

I spent 30 minutes today gluing googly eyes to toothpicks for Caroline’s party (you’ll have to guess what for) and my plans for the evening include moving everything from my dining room to the basement so I can turn it into an under the sea wonderland. I am very far behind compared to previous party years. I’m refusing to worry though, because I will have LOTS of help with all the family in town, and I am sure they will be more than willing to hang up 100 green streamers and blow up 200 balloons. Or at least they will pretend to be happy to do it while wondering why I am insane.
