She’s questioning my life choices because these aren’t from Dunkin

Pretend those are ORGANIC Doritos

E built us a table so we could play cribbage in our beach chairs

Filthy children

Clean children!

I started a toy purge and organization. It was a huge mistake.

Monkey see, monkey do

Very serious about his monkey duties

We have the best floaties

OMG check out the dollar spot!!!

All these children are with me (and one other mom)

The potter at Old Sturbridge Village gave everyone clay

Linc LOVES selfies

4 hours at the lake and I barely saw my kids

Sure, whatever, just be quite while Caroline is in piano lessons

Picking up America stuff for our America photoshoot

Berry picking

We still have the best floaties

I bought 30 minutes of peace for $3.50 worth of ice cream

Pretty sure I went to sleep with a much older guy in that spot

Downtown looking very scenic

Celebrating a friend’s birthday by stealing her shoes

Cuddles

Ironic or just awful?

Shenanigans

Matchy brothers

He said “This is how they’re supposed to go”.

Even when she TRIES not to be in pictures, she can’t help it

He would live on those if I let him

I paid money for the original Willy Wonka so we can watch it 100 times this summer

At least they’re sharing?

Very proud of his style

Linc is “helping” carry the teddy

Clean baby

When you need to make sure you have all your Hand & Foot cards

In 24 hours, this will be a wedding

He can just live there for the summer

Perfect lake morning

Picking up the essentials

Pretending to be a real photographer

I asked E to make about 24 of these. I think he made 100.

There are SO MANY THINGS I love in this photo

These are going to be a big hit this summer

Three of a kind

Unimpressed with my OB appointment

My kids, their kids, all the kids

New shades

More #lakelife

He chewed right through that packaging in the store

One tired bebeh

STOP JUDGING ME IT’S YOUR FAULT

Really surprised I didn’t get struck by lightening at the bus stop

We’re all winning at shoes

Linc saw them feeding this sea lion and is now obsessed with sea lions

It’s called a pinch pot, he’s very proud

GOOD BYE SCHOOL

So sweet I can’t stand it

Why does he suddenly look SO BIG??

Seriously, who is this big kid????

This house comes with a disembodied floating head!

Twins

Bubbles on the pool deck

He actually DOES like lunch, I swear

Bo ssam: aka the MOST delicious meal I eat all year

As long as it’s not ACTUALLY raining, it’s a beach day

Tiny frog friend in the outdoor shower

Hand and foot, because we force everyone we know to play

Vacation breakfast of champions

So much driving

That face is because this is NOT the beach house

MORE DRIVING

A+ relaxing

Embracing lake life

Not bad

Super happy it’s almost summer

Tents for Linc’s upcoming party

Cannot be trusted with my iced coffee

I think she’s tired of pictures

MORE CARDS BECAUSE ALWAYS

Visiting the cows

That was supposed to be MY beach lounger

Inescapable floaty is inescapable

Watermelon on the porch = summer

Shirtless naps = summer

Happy, peaceful children = almost never

IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOOOOOOOWN

Taking pictures like mommy

This is Linc’s favorite game: Face-Smash Selfie

Sunrise in the car – we’d already been driving for 3 hours

In and out and in and out

Bedtime stories with Mormor

Absolutely worth the 2 days of driving

Basically a private beach

There are NINE decorative pillows on this bed

There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew…

There was also shrimp in the low country boil I made for dinner

Oh ok, that’s perfect

A very french baby breakfast

Would you like some bait with your frozen pie?

That’s a virgin Pina Colada in a shot glass
