DO ALL THE SUMMER BEFORE IT’S GONE.
Sunday:
I put away the changing pad (that I’ve used maybe twice ever) since I don’t have any babies anymore.
Fresh neighborhood eggs are a game of IS THERE A CHICKEN FETUS IN THIS OR NO?
Best spot ever for senior pictures? Probably.
Monday:
Tired.
Mess.
Tired.
Tuesday:
I WILL MISS YOU WHILE I AM AT SCHOOL BABY SISTER EVEN THOUGH WE ARE GOING TO SAME SCHOOL.
Mommy the donkey is my best friend!
Cloud or portal opened to another dimension by a tesseract?
Wednesday:
Our last gymnastics class. She’ll have to use her super strength somewhere else.
Our duck pond has an endless supply of adorable baby ducks and I cannot stop taking pictures of them.
Waiting patiently for her grilled cheese.
Thursday:
NO PICTURES PLEASE.
Tinker Bell rests in the tasting room of the winery. Being a fairy is hard work.
My sister and her boyfriend are EXCELLENT child watchers. I like them.
Friday:
The princess generously bestows bacon upon her people.
Beach baby
THREE GINGERS.
Saturday:
Yard sale. Most of it’s on the curb now, it was not a smashing success. But at least it’s all out of my house.
Second day of the princess dress. I peeled it off her to wash it because 2 year olds are gross.
Watching more Watch Us Edit videos from Clickin Moms and it’s still blowing my mind.
It was a surprisingly good week, even if I continue to make poor choices in regards to my own bedtime. 11 pm has become midnight has become 1 am, which means I’m getting like 5 hours of sleep which means I am chronically tired which is my OWN FAULT and yet I keep doing it. I am not very good at learning my lesson. I’m also so, so excited about Ginger Snaps Pictures (website! facebook! in progress, so don’t judge too harshly) and the photography classes/workshops/critiques I’ve signed up for I CAN’T go to bed any earlier. I need those post-kid hours. Although I have managed to thoroughly wear them out several days this week so they took naps – NAPS! – and slept a full 12 hours at night.
This week will be almost as full as last week, which is my favorite kind of week. Even if I am tired.

Our week was busy, except for when it wasn’t because of the pouring rain and flash floods. But mostly busy.
Sunday:
I mean, I only have three doll houses, why not buy another one? (I did not)
Caroline is destined for music videos with lots of mind machines
I appreciate how the trees on the point hide most of the nuclear power plant. More scenic.
Monday:
I’ve never actually seen the state capitol before
Confucius say: Give a man $120 and he will give you an LLC.
Sometimes I take pictures of stuff I want to remember to keep on my phone, but then I forgot to leave them on my phone.
Tuesday:
The local tax office is located in part of an old TB hospital.
HUGS
We love the sunflowers
Wednesday:
Really excited for gymnastics
Playdates make me hungry, and this was super delicious
I told Evan he is my photography assistant, and he said that means he has to push the stroller.
Thursday:
Grocery store in the pouring rain
Destroying the house and having pillow fights in the pouring rain
Watching Thor in the pouring rain
Friday:
Princess Sadface returns
Five kids under a table.
Despite that face, the rainbow ice was delicious.
Saturday:
Home run!!
I never should have showed her how the front-facing camera works.
Restarted C25K. This time I am determined to finish.
The urgency to do as many things and have as much fun as possible before summer is over has hit. I was actually grateful for a rainy miserable day to stay home and relax (even though we ended up having friends over and totally wearing out my kids). July is almost over and August is going to FLY by and then Evan starts 5 days a week morning pre-k, which I am both totally ready and not at all ready for. They grow up so fast, etc etc, but I’m looking forward to a new stage where I have a lot more time to focus on things I love (especially photography) instead of just being Mommy.

So sorry, so late, so not really caring because of the holiday weekend.
Sunday:
Toast on the couch
Naps on the couch
Bath…not on the couch
Monday:
Rockstar #1 at the dentist
Rockstar #2 at the dentist
Rain-shmain, it’s playground time.
Frozen yogurt as a reward for being a rockstar.
Tuesday:
Summer has officially started
PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SUMMER THING.
I’m pretty excited too.
Wednesday:
This is how mommy sleeps in.
Cartwheel practice
She insists on reading in bed, even after I turn the light off.
Thursday:
My little thrift shoppers helping me pop some tags.
Poison dart frog in yo face
Oh look, I found my fisheye lens.
Friday:
The cutest matching not-twins ever.
Caroline disapproves of the commissary.
Judgy cat is judging me for…whatever. Everything.
Saturday:
The best part about going to birthday parties is playing with other people’s toys.
Welcome to my tent. Please take your shoes off and bring me a cookie.
This is Evan’s idea of being helpful when I try to take his picture. So helpful.
It’s 9 pm Monday night, which means the long weekend is officially over. E actually got 2 full days off and we fit in as much fun as possible – TWO parades on Monday! I also took pictures for two different friends and I’m buckling down to get my editing done. I’m actually HOPING for rain at least one day this week so I don’t feel bad keeping the kids inside. I’ll make up for it with a beach or two when it hits 85 later in the week.

Sunday:
Buying myself a few extra minutes to sleep in on Mother’s Day.
Crazy joy riding kids
Cheesy cheeses
Monday:
There’s a snake (and a ginger) in my bed!
Thinking deep, piratey thoughts.
Brutus would sleep in here all night if I let him.
Tuesday:
And then my uterus started crying
Evan is skeptical of the safety of these extremely sketching swings
Get outta my way, tiny ginger COMING THOUGH!
Wednesday:
I think they do better push-ups than I do.
Oh look, basically my entire childhood on a table.
Reading to dolly
Thursday:
I think she found her summer job
How does your garlic grow? BIG. SO BIG.
Yep, definitely putting her to work on the farm.
Friday:
She just realized her shoes are adorable.
Some days it’s hard to believe this is real life.
They tricked the deli lady into giving them way too much cheese
Saturday:
Emergency response gingers, to the rescue!
Evan was surprisingly good at the hula hoop. Caroline tried really hard.
Best birthday party ever? I THINK SO.
SO MUCH SUNSHINE this past week. I need to buy some more sunscreen immediately. Or maybe I need a super cool hat so I fit in with my kids. Right now I’m hoping I FINALLY managed to tire them out past a 6 am wake-up call, but I’m not holding my breath and plan to go to sleep right now. Soon. Probably. Maybe after to more glasses of wine.

Almost half-way through May? How is that even possible?
Sunday:
When the weather is this nice, it’s hard NOT to go to church – we can almost see it from our yard.
Carrying 40 lbs on my back definitely counts as a workout.
Explaining to Daddy that quesadillas are the best.
Monday:
READY TO GO
Hats
Spring cleaning my favorite room of the house
Tuesday:
Good morning!
I think this sign is in the wrong place.
Thinking about running away, as usual
Wednesday:
CANONBALL!
Good listener waits his turn
Sleepy girl
Thursday:
Rain isn’t so bad when your raincoat is this cute
He already thinks balls are hilarious
Cheeseburgers are always the right answer.
Friday:
I don’t even know what this thing is.
Caroline’s definition of “playdate” is “push me on the swing for two hours”.
This does not seem fair.
Saturday:
Caroline has joined a penguin colony
I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!
And then I died of cuteness.
It’s been pouring since about noon and I have a serious case of the “I don’t really want to do anything”s. Luckily tomorrow is Sunday and I can tackle the laundry, dishes, piles of toys AND get my plants in the ground. Probably.
