On the first day of summer vacation, we went strawberry picking, spent the rest of the day at the lake, and then hung out at a local town carnival until bedtime. We ran into a photographer friend I know at the farm, saw almost our entire Momfest group at the lake, and then bumped into one of our favorite Navy families at the carnival.
Maybe when my kids are older we’ll have super relaxed, unscheduled summers. But right now I need them to stay busy and tired, so they can’t complain about being bored or try to kill each other. Today is the fourth day of summer vacation. We dropped E off at the airport, went to a playground, walked a couple miles around a park, caught a ton of Pokemon, took Evan to a coding class, spent 2 hours at the library, ran some errands, went to karate and it’s still not bedtime. I love summer. The weather right now is fantastic. But if the kids ask for one more snack I’m going to sell them.

This was not my favorite week.
Sunday:
All my guys
Future so bright, you better wear shades
When Linc says pants are a shirt, he refuses to back down
Monday:
NOT HELPING
That’s the eclipse, I swear
Doesn’t know how to cart correctly
Tuesday:
I don’t know what this show is but I never want to see it again
I miss lake life already
Progress!
Wednesday:
Rocking the Seaport
Getting in some daddy cuddles
Such a big kid
Thursday:
Stupid submarine
Eating our feelings. They taste like frosting.
Goofball
Friday:
Bunny Caroline
Alien attack
Evan on the grown up rides
Saturday:
Before the mud at the Mud Run
NEW BATHROOM
More new bathroom! I love my new bathroom!
I’ve been having a bit of a battle with the school slash school bus company and today I won. I’m so relieved. As much as we really like being busy and on the go, I don’t like being late, breaking rules, or writing bitchy emails. Ok, I SORT of like writing bitchy emails, but not over and over. But starting next week we should just go back to regular busy – now with 100% more karate for Evan!

My husband just got back from severals weeks underway on his submarine, so the amount of laundry in my house went from “a lot but almost manageable” to “mountains”. I’m going to catch up on these posts in the moments when I can’t handle folding one more plain white undershirt.
Sunday:
SUPER PROUD 3 YEAR OLD
Really excited about his insane milkshake
Making the exact same face as Evan above
Monday:
He loves this, I swear
Upsidedown Lincoln
Lego Batman on repeat
Tuesday:
Sunflower day
Family picture
Ready for the cow train
Wednesday:
I’m signing him up for gymnastics
Friends who love your baby are the best
Thursday:
The ocean
Looking for rocks
Weirdos
Friday:
The kids were fascinated with this thing at Stop & Shop
More lake
Finn really likes Cheetos
Saturday:
Pretending I’m a good Navy spouse by making calendar pages
In between laundry loads I also managed to order the week’s groceries and plan the kids fall activities schedule with reminders to register them for various activities as soon as they open. I still need to find Lincoln a morning activity besides swim (the gymnastic class I wanted is only in the afternoon) to help him get some of his wiggles out before afternoon pre-k. The plan is to make all four children as tired as possible so they go to bed by 7:30 every night. A+ PARENTING.

Still several weeks behind. I’m at the point where I can’t remember what some of these photos are from. I’m also very surprised by how often we leave the house, because it definitely feels like we spend most days shouting at each other in the living room.
Monday:
Caroline is currently obsessed with bows
Should I eat these animal crackers or the shoe? It’s a hard decision.
Such a cutie
Tuesday:
Catching creatures in the Mystic River
Ok, bye, check in later?
I should set up a tub and washboard at home.
Wednesday:
Lake fun
Lake nap
Thursday:
Super fun art activity at Lutz Children’s Museum
Hello turtle friend
REAL LIFE HEIHEI
Friday:
Friends at the lake
Baby at the beach
Lake life is exhausting
Saturday:
Look at that enormous baby
He can sleep ANYWHERE
Trying to get his own snacks now
Less than a week until birthday party go time and I literally cannot reach my dining room table because of the sheet rock all over the room. Which is great! Fine! I’m sure I can get ALL the party planning done between 8 pm Friday and 2 pm Saturday.
