We did a lot of stuff this week. There was also a lot of falling asleep on the couch, in the car, on the floor, sitting up, etc. And right now both kids are about to fall asleep next to me while I try to beat level 79 in Candy Crush. It’s NEVER going to happen.
Sunday:
I’m addicted to Bagel Thins.
Family dinner date to Johnny Rockets
She liked this game WAY TOO MUCH. I’m terrified of her teenage years.
Monday:
Caroline’s idea of a good morning: lying on my bedroom floor eating graham crackers.
Watermelon serving size: half for breakfast, half for lunch.
Karate Kid VII: Attack of the Ginger Babies
Tuesday:
My dentist is cooler than your dentist.
Swigin’ by the Sea
They’re very into boats, even indoor boats.
Wednesday:
Who are these quiet, well behaved children playing during my preschool teacher conference?
Fancy new gym is FANCY!
Lookin’ good, Nature.
Thursday:
Good morning, this is your pilot waking you up…
Not the least big scared of the huge, be-horned cow.
Picnic dinner at the playground
Friday:
He’s covering his ears so he won’t be scared by the Surprise Symphony.
Stroller Strides. Hat.
Much much MUCH needed solo evening walk.
Saturday:
When did bookstores start selling SO MANY TOYS?
Enjoy it at someone else’s house, kid, since I am NEVER buying you a drum set.
Future jockey in training
I wrote that whole post and used up all my lives in Candy Crush and Caroline is STILL asleep. But E is also home from work so we’re going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some maybe-not-exactly-authentic burritos at Moe’s. Any excuse to eat guacamole is a good one. Happy Weekend!

SPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
Sunday:
E models the latest in fashion: a ginger-shaped hat
BOOM! MOE’S!
Bubble rocket launcher in action
Monday:
He gets an A+ in relaxing
Special Monday treats: shopping alone, Sbux, and driving the new car
I don’t feel the need to explain my art to you
Tuesday:
I make the EXACT same face when anyone tries to wake me up in the morning
Yarn store visiting
Monkey see, monkey do
Wednesday:
Inside fishes first!
Bacon, tomato, caramelized onions, blue cheese, mozzarella on sourdough
Peek a boo at the Seaport
Thursday:
Hat
These cookies are full of LIES (and regular sandwich cookie cream, not taffy)
This one’s for sale and only 2 blocks away. Be my neighbor!!
Friday:
The queen on her throne
Feeding ducks
I have no idea what this is
Saturday:
Trendsetter
Bluff Point
Rainbow sprinkles = MIND BLOWN
Our spring-like weather looks like it’s here to stay but since this is New England I’m not taking anything for granted. We’ll be repeating this week with extra locations (zoo, beach, etc etc etc) thrown in for the next two months. More baths + later bedtimes are going to cut into my blog-writing time, but I’m OK with that. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to remember we can live our lives even if I don’t write about every second of it online.

What crazy week. Thank God the gingers had no idea how crappy it was in the real world and just enjoyed their spring break.
Sunday:
Look! A totally uninteresting part of a 60 year old submarine! You STILL can’t see the interesting parts (where E works on the modern ones).
Running away from their BBQ pork. Obviously they were switched at birth. Both of them.
Reading with Aunt Erin
Monday:
7:30 am in New London, CT
The first time I tore myself away from the news that day the moon was already out
I let the kids stay up for extra cuddles and totally mindless children’s shows
Tuesday:
I spy ye, matey!
Even pirates need a cup of milk sometimes
Passed out with her (old) Easter hat
Wednesday:
Good morning, this is my tongue.
The gingers are doing their best impression of a cheesy movie slow motion run
Reading hat
Meal plan + shopping list = What’s For Dinner? will be back soon
Thursday:
Stroller Strides at the beach EFF YEAH
The view made working out less sucky
Children’s Museum Hat
A B C’S ARE BETTER WHEN THEY ARE AS LOUD AS THIS SIGN
Friday:
Caught red handed!
There are approximately 300 of these on my phone from this day, since the kids got the iDevices while I watched the news…
…and read ALL the Twitters.
Saturday:
And sometimes my view during Stroller Strides is LESS inspiring
Introducing the gingers to Moe’s
Swinging is fun
And now school vacation week is OVER and I get some Suzanne-time back. I love love love my children more than life itself, but there’s a point during the day where I want to lock them both in a closet. THE WHINING OH THE WHINING. It’s amazing what a difference 5 hours a week makes to my sanity and patience. Oh and P.S. World? Try not to go totally INSANE again next week, ok?

SPRING!!! IT’S SPRING IN CONNECTICUT! We are officially outside-people until October. Feel free to join us at any park or beach within a 100 mile radius every afternoon.
Sunday:
This looks like the before half of a GIF where 4 kids fall into a stingray touch tank.
I’m sure kneeling on the state-of-the-art touch screen is good for it.
Mmmmmmm lemonade
Monday:
Bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles my bubbles
A random fever on Sunday left someone exhausted on Monday
FLYING TODDLER!
Tuesday:
Really excited about school
Not super excited about her headband
The love throwing stuff into water. Keep your rock and antique coin collections far away from children.
Our evening walk as interrupted by FOUR firetrucks responding to a false alarm. Best walk ever!
Wednesday:
That is the face of a tiny temper tantrum over wearing her hat DURING gymnastics
Tiny girl, huge nuclear power plant
MOM. THERE ARE SPRINKLES ON THAT ICE CREAM CONE.
The most un-relaxing birthday dinner ever.
Thursday:
Gym self portrait
Dance party at the end of Tangled
This is the pirate ship that goes to find the treasure but they have to watch out for the SEA MONSTER.
Friday:
Tulip inspector
Hello money pit
Fancy.
Saturday:

Throwing food at some very uninterested ducks

Do they have chardonnay, dahling?
Once a year fancy hair for the Submarine Ball
That yellow medal is for shooting a guy at 50 yards. Or maybe for signing a piece of paper. One of those.
The MGM Grand ballroom is pretty fancy
That might have been the busiest weekend of our entire year. This week is spring break for the kids, which is a different kind of busy. I suspect there will be a LOT of photo posts this week.

And now I am going to collapse, just like my kids did 30 seconds after I tucked them in.
