First full week of school, last weekend of the summer. The transition is going as well as I can expect, which is to say the kids are taking turns being COMPLETLY exhausted and having breakdowns. And Linc thinks he’s suddenly grown.
Sunday:
PUMPKIN SPICE ATTACK
Babywearing runs in the family
Big kid doing big kid stuff
Monday:
Driving the playscape
Don’t look so judgy baby, it’s just a liquor store run.
Climber
Tuesday:
Apparently he’s allergic to…something? I think it’s the baby wipes.
School is EXHAUSTING
He’s obsessed
Wednesday:
I tried wearing lipstick. Linc thinks it’s a mistake. I think I agree.
OMG GUISE THIS BRIDGE THING BOUNCES
I joked that he was going to sleep in her bed and she was not amused
Thursday:
Jogging! For like, 4 seconds. But I want credit.
Connecticut ends here
I’M TRAPPED IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION
Friday:
His new favorite spot
Niantic is adorable
The kids were super excited about the babywearing in this book.
Saturday:
Apparently no one else wanted to spend a gorgeous Saturday at the lake. Idiots.
I brought all the car wraps in to wash them. Such a pretty pile.
So I guess he’s just big now.
We have one last #lakelife day tomorrow as long as Evan doesn’t sleep the entire day. Or I do. 8 hours of sleep would be a dream come true and because Linc didn’t get ANY nap today I have my fingers crossed he’ll let me sleep in. Our fall activity schedule starts this week and then goes into full crazy mode next week so I need as much rest as I can get. I’m already reminding myself that I did this to myself and it won’t last forever. I suspect in the spring we’ll sign up for exactly zero things to recover.

The kids went back to school this week, which mean my photos are going to be Linc-heavy for next…forever.
Sunday:
SO READY
Grocery store assistant
High chair? Why would I need a high chair?
Monday:
Where am I?! What year is this???
Preparing for her show
I bleach shampooed my hair. I’ll do a real post about it but the short review is A++
Tuesday:
Babies are hilarious
Evan agrees. Babies, man.
How we got through Back to School night
Wednesday:
First day of school! BUH-BYE!
A rainbow wrap and a pink truck. MY KID IS DOOOOOOMED.
The Book Barn is my new favorite
Thursday:
Aquarium playdate
IT’S SO QUIET
Starting her young
Friday:
Waving bye-bye to the bus is super fun
Living the toddler dream
Fair Life
Saturday:
I’m not sure we brought enough watermelon
He’s going to miss eating sand SO MUCH
Blankets are pretty much his favorite thing in the whole world
I am SO happy to have the kids back at school, even though school brings a whole new level of stress and deadlines and homework and one zillion pieces of paper that need my attention. They need the structure of school and the friends and the break from me (and my often short temper) right now. I figure by Christmas we’ll all be super excited to hang out together again. Right now I’m just going to enjoy the crap out of my one tiny baby who can’t talk back.
And if I say “Christmas” again before December, please punch me in the face.

It was really hot this week, so went to the lake, wore babies and sat on each other. Obviously.
Sunday:
Morning photoshoot at a marina
They both seemed OK with this, so I didn’t stop it.
Evening at the lake
Monday:
Morning at the lake
Sleepy baby face
The Queens Elsa
Tuesday:
Morning at the lake
When did his legs get so long?
More sibling sitting
Wednesday:
He figures by now he’s the boss of the lake
Linc walked around and around this bench for 20 minutes
Even the kids thought we should buy lavender to bring home because it smelled so good
Thursday:
This is what Caroline requested for breakfast.
Spoiled, spoiled children
Allllllll day at the lake
Friday:
This was supposed to be a nice picture of Caroline holding flowers, but she tried to smell them and stabbed herself in the eye
We were a hit in the frozen section
It’s really hot in my house.
Saturday:
There was music, so she was dancing
Heeeeere’s Lincy!
Planet viewing in the planetarium
SCHOOL STARTS ON WEDNESDAY. It’s so good and also so bad. I’m suddenly going to have a lot of time on my hands in the middle of the day and way too much to do in the morning and evening. I’m worried about the kids having a hard adjustment to classrooms (and Caroline to full day) after and structure and rules and having to wait their turn and stand in line and all of that after a summer of nothing but lake life and vacations.
But going grocery shopping with ONE baby I can put on my back? Heaven. My fridge is never going to be empty again!

Can you believe I’ve done this nonsense for 250 weeks? Caroline wasn’t even BORN when I did the first one. So I suppose I can’t even think about quitting, despite the fact that I can barely remember to do them. This one is late and I had to check my dates three times because it’s so hard to believe a week ago we were still on vacation. Real life happens SO FAST.
Sunday:
Evan is doubtful that 3 people in a one person kayak is wise.
Linc loves vacation
Caroline is ALWAYS ready for more pictures
Monday:
If you look hard enough, you can almost see New York down the river
I liked the reflection in the back of that tanker
Linc is happy to see all his stuff again
Tuesday:
Caroline is writing a song
Grumpy pants needed a walk to get ready for bed
I really, really love this front porch.
Wednesday:
The zoo was so fun.
I will never get tired of these photos.
I had three ladies tell me they liked my hair and none of them even notice I was nursing a baby.
Thursday:
Lunch at Quincy Market should always involve a lobster roll
Boston Children’s Museum
Linc was over Boston (and I was over my poor choice of shirt on a 90 degree day)
Friday:
SUPER COOL PRESS EVENT POST COMING SOON
I was really good at juggling, if my really good you mean terrible
Red Lantern at Foxwoods = ORDER ALL THE SUSHI
Saturday:
They must have bought those water bottles at Target. Poor confused children.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaap
What? I’m hungry.
I forgot I had Virginia vacation photos to post, plus I have the post about our fun date at Foxwoods, so as long as I don’t die of heatstroke (we’re on day 5 or 6 of 90 degrees plus) I’ll have more new blog stuff up soon.

Vacation is over as of bedtime tonight, so back to regular life we go. But if ever my children say we never did anything fun with them, I have tons of photographic proof their childhoods were MAGICAL.
Sunday:
Linc felt he needed a snack JUST as the tide started coming in.
Boogie boarding
The Russian judge only gave them a 8.7
Monday:
It’s Pims O’Clock – time for Pims Cups and cards
He likes the beach house
I love the beach house
Tuesday:
Good bye bunk room
Good bye pluff mud
HELLO LAKE HOUSE
Wednesday:
Topless at Walmart, because we’re super classy
Drinking and boating (when you’re 4.5)
Drinking and boating (when you’re 1)
Thursday:
Water fun
Bucket head
Poor baby has no idea he isn’t a big kid who can kayak
Friday:
Linc loves the ugly couch
On your anniversary you don’t have to split a dessert
Happy 11 years to us
Saturday:
How many guys does it take to deflate an air mattress?
It’s a good thing he was wrapped or he would have climbed right onto that horse
Evening cruising and tubing and water skiing and kneeboarding
Want to hear something crazy? Even though we’ve been on vacation almost 2 weeks when we get home we get to have a staycation for a few days. We plan to alternate between doing all the things and doing nothing (preferably at the lake) so we can enjoy the last days of summer before school starts. I’m not ready for school. This year I have two lunches to pack every day and there is nothing I hate more than packing lunches.
