The weather cooled off this week, but all that seemed to do was make our skies even more gorgeous than usual. I had a bunch of work and Caroline had a couple of really grumpy days, so the week both flew by and seemed to last fooooooorevvvvvvveeeeerrrrrrr.
Sunday:
Halloween at the aquarium
Sunday couch naps
Take, move, import, edit, export, edit, repeat
Monday:
Shopping buddies – Caroline and Fluffy the Beluga Whale
Spoiled rotten 2 year old
But really, she’s too cute not to spoil.
Tuesday:
BOOM. Immunity!
I want them alllllllll
Cheesy Ginger
Wednesday:
Waiting for the bus always makes him look like a big kid
POWER RECLINERS! They pick you up and put you down.
Reading in bed, 2013 version
Thursday:
Reading the furniture catalog in the car. She says we need MORE couches.
The sky when we got to the evening photo session
The sky when we left the evening photo session
Friday:
First winter coat day of the season
Apparently when you don’t feel well, wearing your clothes like this helps you feel better.
Looooooooooooong work week
Saturday:
Hay ride, cider and donuts sponsored by Caroline’s preschool
Another beautiful evening sky
LOOK AT MY FACE MOMMY TAKE A PICTURE
If you see me online this week – especially if I ask you for Candy Crush lives – tell me GET BACK TO WORK. I need to stop cleaning up photos on my computer and clean up my kitchen. And put away laundry. And meal plan. And find something to do with this extra couch that is blocking my front door. Although if I get a quiet minute to take a nap I might do that instead. SO TIRED.

This week is basically just photos of all the places I’m going to take photos. Plus Caroline.
Sunday:
Super happy to be swinging.
I GUESS this spot was OK for family photos. (This spot was amazing.)
Monday:
Eyeing the last apple fritter at Chowder Days.
Nicely done, Connecticut
Free boat rides are the best boat rides
Tuesday:
This is not my baby, but I kind of want to hang it up in my house anyways.
75% off wings at the craft store!
Pixie Girl
Wednesday:
Practicing his long jump skills
A pond…
…a cove…
…a park. I LOVE CONNECTICUT.
Wrinkly toes
Thursday:
Ready for school! It’s been 65 here all week, so she refuses to wear a coat.
I found the steps where we did my maternity photos! I love this park.
What does the fox say? BUY ME, I’M ADORABLE.
Someone had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast.
That chalkboard was the train station schedule for Evan’s birthday. Repurposing!!
Editing editing editing…I really loved this session!
Saturday:
I did NOT buy this, even though I really really really really love it. I did end up buying a dresser. And a table. And a couch. And…another couch. It was an expensive weekend.
I love you, soda machine.
Project RECLAIM THIS DISASTER is underway. I’m so excited about it, especially now that it’s getting darker and colder and we’re going to be stuck inside more.
I had no photo sessions this weekend but I’m making up for it with 4 in the next 6 days and I’m crossing my fingers SO HARD that the weather stays nice. I’m hoping to get some of our personal photos sorted and (minorly) edited and shared too, since my family starts to get mad if there aren’t enough gingers on the blog. MOAR GINGERS SOON, I promise.

My excuse for being so late is “The Holiday Weekend Confuses Me Every Time”. Just ask the poor cashier and Big Y who wasn’t quite sure how to handle me falling to my knees and shouting “Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” when I asked why the beer curtain was down on a Saturday (it was Sunday).
Do I need to explain “beer curtain”? Is that a thing anywhere else?
Sunday:
Faaaaaalllll! Leaves!!!!!
Applessssssss!
Tank tops and snow boooooooots!!!!
Monday:
More fall. That’s really all I’ve got right now.
We both needed a nap on Monday.
I’m really excited to finish editing these.
Tuesday:
Cool fish sculpture that fills with water when it rains so the fake fish have somewhere to fake swim.
Every curb.
It was a really good way to spend the afternoon.
Wednesday:
Who can pass up a deal like that?!?!
Ready for a terrible storm…in the children’s museum.
MY PRECIOUSSSSSSS.
Thursday:
My only photo: Caroline staring out the door for Daddy. I FEEL YOU, GIRL.
Friday:
Pre-school selfies
Aquarium date
Twins?
Fall leaves & 80 degrees
Last farmer’s market of the season (so they BURNED IT DOWN!!!)(kidding)
AND a grown up date with some of my favorite people and a mountain of food
Saturday:
GORGEOUS lakefront property for my morning photo session
Basically everywhere in Connecticut is gorgeous right now.
Despite his face, he was very happy to be there.
And now I chain myself to the couch for the next week to catch up on my work. I might stay up way past my bedtime to get some personal editing done too, since I FINALLY dressed up my family and tried for some Christmas card shots of our own but owe photos to 6 other families first. Once again, NOT COMPLAINING, being busy is the best thing ever. I just need to get faster…and maybe turn off my internet connection so I can’t get distracted while I work. Stupid Candy Crush.

Back in the photo session saddle again, which means my iPhone is feeling pretty neglected. The kids actually ASKED me to take their picture this week. It’s a miracle!
Sunday:
Celebrity sighting at Type-A! It’s hard to tell, but it’s Minnie Mouse.
Ballet slipper = my absolute new favorite color. MinuteClinic had the best swag.
Oh, OK. I can do that.
Monday:
The waiting-for-the-bus dance
I could not love his school picture more.
Tuesday:
Verdict: good, but not amazing.
Clark Farms! Donkeys! Goats! Sheeps!
And a giant slide!!!!
Wednesday:
She dressed herself, then started carrying around that kitty in a box (?? I think it was swag from something????) as a purse.
Sometimes, I have to step back from my photo sessions and do one for ME in the location I want.
Open house at Caroline’s preschool. That was our most recent family photo.
Thursday:
MORE swag from MinuteClinic. I love those guys.
Sitting shotgun in the drop off line for school (which means we got there on time for once!)
Thursdays are for napping.
Friday:
My Friday morning newborn session lived at the end of a dirt road.
I’m going to be SO SAD when it gets too cold to shove the kids out on the porch and tell them not to come back inside.
Saturday:
I’ve been binging on home improvement shows. Caroline has been binging on vintage My Little Ponies.
Playing red light green light at Gillette Castle
Very nice, Connecticut. I approve.
The weather has been abnormally warm all week – even if it did rain today – so the fall colors still haven’t peaked. Good news for next weekend’s photo sessions! And maybe I’ll even have time to take some of my OWN family pictures before Christmas. Miracles do happen! Except it hasn’t happened yet, so don’t hold your breath.
More real blog posts coming soon! Like super soon. Less than 12 hours from now. I have to much to catch up on.

This post is late and I got less than 3 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours and I barely remember how I got home from the airport last night and Caroline is sitting on my lap with her slightly terrifying My Little Pony Equestria Girl introducing her to all the princess dolls and I have 5 photo sessions to edit so what I’m saying is if this post makes none sense don’t be surprised.
Sunday:
Princess Pirate Butterfly Caroline’s new best friend, the Dragon Ice Cream dragon
Evan defends his family against a zombie puppet
Sleepy, smudgy butterfly
Who knew a Kohl’s parking lot could be so inspiring?
Monday:
I don’t even know.
Sand castles on our deserted beach
About 20 seconds later Caroline and her friends smashed them all.
Tuesday:
They’re having a mini-conference on how best to beg me for that candy on the counter
Cleaning and trying out my headphones for an upcoming post
Shooties. Verdict after wearing them all weekend: Wise choice! Very comfortable for high heels, lots of compliments, only felt slightly like I have hooves.
Wednesday:
Who is this huge person going to preschool and where is my baby?
Another stunning fall day in Connecticut (Town Hall)
Watching Monsters University (again! We saw it in the theater!) with the kids
Thursday:
I took a picture of my parking garage level/number to I didn’t have to remember when I can back at 1 am Monday. BRILLIANT. Worked perfectly.
Boston!
Random MARTA station in Georgia where my friend Miranda picked me up!
Friday:
Average attention span in 2012: 8 SECONDS. Now you know why we needed a session on writing engaging content.
All cleaned up for dinner with my other Minute Clinic bloggers at Type A
The crazy cab ride was worth it to get to this place. AMAAAAAAZING.
Saturday:
In case you were wondering, THAT is an Equestria Girl. I managed to snag one when they were breaking down the booth on Sunday.
My next DIY, obvs.
Atlanta was really pretty
Step 1 in getting back to my real life: write down all the stuff on the calendar I’ve been ignoring because it was “in October” and “October is a really long time from now”. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <– the sound I just made looking at the stack of papers from the kids’ schools talking about open house nights and PTO meetings and pizza parties. Back to work!
