Evan told me he wanted to be a Harry Potter character for Halloween months ago. I tried to talk the whole family into Harry Potter, but Linc and Caroline INSISTED on going with The Greatest Showman. So I promised Evan his own photoshoot and that he could be Harry Potter for trick-or-treating if he humored me for the family costume pictures.
Evan has gone back and forth on whether he is Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. He wants to be Harry because Harry is the main character and gets to do the most magic and save the day. But he has red hair and freckles, so he LOOKS more like Ron. I also struggled with this as a child – I thought I could *only* be blonde princesses or movie characters. It’s why I am the only person in the world who likes Amy March the best.
In the end, Evan decided he’s Ron Weasley, so here is his official Halloween 2018 Ron Weasley photo shoot. The setting is the high school down the street from us (Norwich Free Academy), which really does look pretty magical. I added a few special effects to make it extra wizard-like.

After a whoooole bunch of stress with our afternoon bus schedule, we’ve finally worked everything out and we’re just plain busy instead of super stressful busy. It’s good. We’re better at holding things together when we don’t have too much time to sit on the couch.
Sunday:
I love this umbrella
Living his best life
It’s important to practice before Halloween
Tuesday:
Everyone is at school or asleep and I am RELAXING
The cat is obsessed with our heated floors
Wednesday:
Enormous baby measured as enormous at his check up
Thursday:
We got the last one of these stupid things
This outfit makes me happy
It makes Finn happy too
Friday:
Cookie time
I hope this are the memories they have of their childhoods
Saturday:
Very fancy facepaint
Pizza is his favorite
That’s her “I GOT A NEW BOW” face
I bought Wonder Woman yesterday, so we can watch it at home and in the car and alllll the time, because I would much rather memorize Wonder Woman than all the episodes of Paw Patrol on this stupid pirate adventure DVD. Once you can name all the dogs on Paw Patrol you lose part of your soul forever.

I only seem to be able to blog every 3rd week or so, no matter how much I have to say or what happens. If this was a real job, I’d be the worst employee ever. Sorry, I can’t do any work this week, I can’t remember how to manage my time efficiently enough to eat food, maintain a very low level of personal hygiene AND accomplish anything.

Last week could probably be described as “lazy chaos”. I was solo-parenting for most of it, too pregnant and tired to really care about much beyond keeping the kids mostly alive. We didn’t do much besides attempt to keep the floor at least 50% visible under the layer of laundry and toys.
Sunday:
Weirdo
We found some extra kids
He thinks I am a jungle gym
Monday:
The big bed makes him look like a baby again
I want a choclate river
Dragon noodles I turned into fake Pad Thai
Tuesday:
Very proud of his outfit
Ice cream for dinner
Tooth brushers
Wednesday:
Pls jump yourself into exhaustion
Cuddles seem so nice but it’s SO HOT
Thursday:
More lake life
Very fancy photoshoot outfits
TAKE MY PICTURE MOMMY
Friday:
I sent her to piano alone because…
…this was happening in the car
ALWAYS ON ME
Saturday:
MORE JUMPING
The whole recital was extremely adorable
A small sample of the mess I live in
Once again, it’s Tuesday and I am just getting this done. I shot my (most likely) last two client sessions before I have the baby this weekend and all that work was exhausting. This week Evan has camp so the house it much, much quieter during the day, so I’m hoping I can get all that editing, plus some cleaning and organizing, plus some napping done. Mostly the napping. It’s going to be a long time before I get a nap again once I have a baby. (37 weeks, fingers crossed I have a baby at exactly 40).
