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.

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.

FALL FALL FALL IS HERE. I LOVE FALL.
Sunday:
PUNNY LICENSE PLATES ARE MY FAVORITE
Empty baseball stadiums are cool
Somehow a grocery trip still costs $100, even when I buy hardly anything
Monday:
Beaching it up
So happy when Sissy comes home from school
I love his little Judo outfit so much
Tuesday:
This week’s weather can stay forever
Prima Ballerina attitude already
Dogpile on the baby seems like a fun game
Wednesday:
HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS WHAT IS HAPPENING
I went just for swim diapers
More soccer
Thursday:
View from the top
I bought a basket AND a cart to organize my stuff…so why isn’t it organized?
Setting up a new reward system
Friday:
I did not go chasing any waterfalls
Grump faces
Winner of the farmer’s market
Saturday:
MORE SOCCER
Important errands
A very windswept session at the park
It was our first week of All The Stuff and it was pretty much as exhausting as I was expecting. On Thursday morning, I got the kids on the bus then crawled back into bed with Linc until he started hitting me in the face at 9 am. I’m actually HOPING for some rain this week, because if the weather is bad I don’t feel guilty staying home all day. If only I could convince Linc the TV is super interesting and he should sit still and watch it for an hour or two…

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.
