I am at the beach, where time means nothing, so I totes forgot to do this post yesterday. I’m not even sorry.
Sunday:
Grandpas are popular
My vacation started early because I went to Target alooooooone
That looks like poor choices
Monday:
Evan and Caroline were REALLY excited about Linc’s birthday presents.
Oil change
Pizza crust is his favorite food
Tuesday:
Soooooo much driving
WHY DOESN’T MY TARGET SELL WINE?
There are other beds, they insist on sharing
Wednesday:
Bleeeeeh
This is the church where I got married! Also, it’s very hot.
Charleston’s version of a splash park
Thursday:
Caroline loves that the city is full of horses
Mermaid
My husband is very much enjoying his scotch…I mean…vacation
Friday:
I love this house
Lowcountry boil time
Hot Mess
Saturday:
Never leaving
A picture of me in a bikini. Almost.
Hanna Jams and reading time
I’m already late for a 10 am pool date with the kids where I am going to mostly ignore them while I float. Because the beach is amazing and you can do that here.
I’m slooooowly editing the 4000 photos I’ve already taken and will post way too many soon. And then next week I’ll repeat it all over for the lake. My life is not too bad right now.

This week Lincoln turned 1 and I started freaking out because summer feels almost over.
Sunday:
Target is easier when you can tie one kid to your back and bribe the other two with Icees.
All the kids love the Boppy
Lake Baby
Monday:
Sunflowers for Wishes is beauitful
Caroline dressed up for our wagon ride
I made the mistake of asking them to take a nice picture.
Tuesday:
Party planning
We have a LOT of clicky things from Wendy’s kids’ meals now.
This might have been the last time he napped nicely.
Wednesday:
If you look closely you can see my baby playing with his new 7 year old BFF.
Baby’s first deli cheese
It turns out clean and shopping is pretty good exercise
Thursday:
OK, I’M ONE NOW, I’M GOING SWIMMING
Birthday’s are exhausting
Bumpa will read you alllllll the books
Friday:
The bones of The Australia at Mystic Seaport
Figureheads
Using my camera to check and see if Linc is asleep yet. NOPE.
Saturday:
I’m proud that all my party guests noticed my sling matched the decor
He had a really good day
He has sad eyes because he tried to eat the lit candle, but eating an entire mini-cake cheered him up.
Linc’s first birthday party is over and it was SUCH a success. We were completely done and ready for our guests before they arrived (this never happens) and I got to relax and drink champagne while the kids screamed their heads off on the bounce house. My parents and E’s parents were both here which meant we had TWO grown ups per child – not to mention all the dads that Linc conned into picking him up and carrying him around. He’s really good with dads.
We’ve got some vacation coming up and I cannot waaaaaait. But first I have to get all those party photos sorted and posted, or they’ll end up in the file with the rest of this month’s fun activities and no one will ever see them. What good is a cool party theme without a blog post?!

Summer summer summertime! So much summering going on around here.
Sunday:
When there is a sleeping baby on you, you sit.
I tried to tell him biting an inflatable was a poor choice, but he didn’t listen.
Fruit pizza is my new favorite kind of pizza
Monday:
A++++ WOULD RECOMMEND
He’s becoming a Stage 3 leaner
Big kidding big kidding around!
Tuesday:
Making sure we got enough sticks in with the blueberries
Having big kid friends who can read is cool.
My husband made a table.
Wednesday:
Practicing her name while we wait for car repairs
Blueberry almond cakes
Took a walk ALONE because that’s not happening again for a while
Thursday:
Buying a toilet seat LIKE A BOSS
We picked up a friend from horse camp so Caroline could meet some horses
Surfer Dude
Friday:
Linc smashed it 10 seconds later
Cool kids wear hats
The view from the hill behind my house
Saturday:
Lake…
…Target…
…Ice cream. REPEAT.
Linc turns 1 on Thursday and I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. His party is Saturday, and I have a bazillion things to do before then, including create a menu. I have never been this unprepared to feed my guests. I’m keeping my everything crossed that we have beautiful weather for the party, because I am counting on the bounce house and some bubbles to keep the kids entertained all afternoon. I don’t know what I’ll do if we have to be inside.
If you need me, I’ll be keeping as busy as possible so I can IGNORE THE PART ABOUT LINC TURNING 1.

It looks like I spent the WHOLE week at the lake. Which I guess I did.
Sunday:
Lake food
Lake view
Lake naps
Monday:
WATCH OUT FOR THE PINK FLOATY IT WILL RUIN YOUR KID
Love our BityBean in the water
Party countdown is on
Tuesday:
Lashes
Loaner wrap is super cushy
Star Wars, kids playing, me editing = mom life
Wednesday:
This baby is finally learning to sleep in his own room
He doesn’t know how to use that phone yet. Probably.
SO GOOD
Thursday:
Linc’s bouncy house makes him popular with the girls
When he can’t find his own blankie, brother’s will do
They are both very pleased with themselves
Friday:
Linc slept in his room. I woke up to this on my vidoe monitor.
Someone should watch that baby near the water
Gorgeous evening for a walk
Saturday:
Wore my lobster wrap down to the lobster docks
Double chocolate cake for lunch
Cards for dinner
My goal for this week is to get the kids to bed BEFORE 10 pm every night. It’s finally getting dark almost early enough for a real bedtime – no one will sleep when the sun is still up at 8:30. But I need 2 kid free hours after they all go to sleep and right now that means I’m still awake at 11:45 pm. Why can’t kids and grown ups switch? I will go to bed at 7:30 every night and they can stay up until whenever? Oh right, because then nothing would ever get done.
This week’s agenda includes two farmer stands, more lake, a horse barn, blueberry picking and car repairs. One of those things is less exciting than the others.

Hello. It is summer.
Sunday:
Morning lap naps because we have no where to be
Sports!
She’s very good at selfies
Monday:
Our Mystic day started at the aquarium
Then I tied my baby to a chair to eat grilled cheese…
Then Caroline decorated a whale at the seaport
Tuesday:
I’M A BIG KID
LOOK AT ME BEING BIG
Being a big kid is exhausting
Wednesday:
That whale is definitely trying to eat her
Caroline thinks sitting is boring
LINC THINKS SITTING IS VERY EXCITING
Thursday:
Bed stealer
Perfect
One Caroline to push 3 babies. She’s got it.
Friday:
So grown
Evan is doing is presentation about Seaport Camp and explaining his picture looks like that because he “only works in black and sometimes very very dark gray”.
Babies do not have good table manners
Saturday (Happy Fourth!!):
The Mayflower!! Linc is unimpressed because he knows it’s a replica.
Matching dresses are awesome
We stayed up waaaaaaay too late
And on that note, I am going to bed. The weekend was fun but exhausting and NO ONE has taken a real nap in more than a week. I need at least 6 hours of sleep in a row if I have any chance of functioning this week. Good night!
