My Week(210) in iPhone Photos

Monday, November 10th, 2014

Late late late late late. But we spent ALL day Sunday out of the house and I spent all day today finishing all my photography stuff so I am completely caught up! Now maybe I can blog this week! Or maybe I’ll just say that and not do it again. That seems more likely.

Sunday:

sunday1

Waiting in the ER is a lot easier with technology

sunday2

Not impressed with my wrap skills or the tape on his head.

sunday3

I am not the only one who loves wraps

Monday:

monday1

I sold this one, pretty much thanks to this picture

monday2

Beautiful evening light…at 3 pm.

monday3

CHEEKS

Tuesday:

tuesday1

Yes mother, that is a very nice fancy teether. Now if only I knew how to PUT IT IN MY MOUTH.

tuesday2

I can’t be mad about the mess when they’re practicing their words

tuesday3

Brother time

Wednesday:

wednesday1

I was too sick to wear the baby, so we did the grocery-pile-on-the-carseat method

wednesday2

All we did. All day.

wednesday3

My mail lady leaves treats for the dog

Thursday:

thursday1

One of the last buildings left at the old hospital is being torn down (taken from a stopped car at a stop light, I’m not dumb enough to do it while driving).

thursday2

Back floats

thursday3

I am the worst, because I forgot the iPad and she had to just SIT while her brother had swim.

Friday:

Parenting win: taking the kids to a friend’s house to let them bounce while I watch from inside the warm house.

Then the friends came over for pizza and wine. NAILED IT, FRIDAY NIGHT.

DUCK JAMS

Saturday:

Never ending Halloween candy

saturday2

Linc found his toes

saturday3

One last sleeping baby

I spent a LOT of time under that baby this week. Usually I try to get stuff done while I sleeps but I felt TERRIBLE for the first half of the week and was busy catching up and seeing friends the second half, so nothing got done. Thank God for antibiotics and Netflix. I cannot believe it is already the second week of November. I refuse to do anything Christmasy until after Thanksgiving, but now I’m worried I’ll wake up and it will suddenly be mid-December and I won’t even have noticed. Why is 2014 going so fast?!

Monday, November 3rd, 2014

I’m going to go against popular opinion here and say I LOVE the extra hour we get with fall back. I was exhausted at 10 pm last night so I went to sleep, and then woke up on my own 15 minutes before the alarm. It felt positively leisurely. I have no idea if my children got an extra hour of sleep, because they know better than to come wake me up unless the house is on fire.

Sunday:

sunday1

Being awesome at the aquarium

sunday2

His favorite part of the aquarium is the Titanic, which is creepier when he’s dressed like a shark

They cannot stop themselves from kicking leaves

My attempt at fancy hair was a flop

We are not fans of having to sit through swim clss

I’m not sure he actually even LIKES Panera, but he loves the buzzer

Halloween legs

Halloween shirt

friday3

Halloween night! I’m a fisherman, he’s a goldfish.

Saturday:

saturday1

I took Saturday off. Caroline watched Linc for me.

saturday2

I’m only sort of kidding.

saturday3

Although I still care of his favorite thing. Look at that baby smile.

The weekend was not at ALL relaxing due to a broken computer and a broken forehead, so I’m playing as much catch up as I can today. (Both are much better today, fingers crossed they stay that way.) I have zero photo shoots scheduled this week as of right now, but FIVE blog posts to write. Considering I can’t even get this one posted in a timely manner, it’s amazing anyone still reads. Maybe no one does. Maybe you’re all spambots. Or my mother. Hi Mom!

I am tiiiiiiired. I don’t even have a good excuse beyond doing lots of stuff this week – my darling darling baby slept 10 hours last night. But this weekend was busy and this next week is going to be super busy. I feel like a broken record, because all I post anymore is complaints about how BUSY I am and I know it’s boring. But really, once you have three kids you’re pretty much always busy. Even the baby thinks I should try to sit on the couch more – he’s really tired of being nursed in uncomfortable chairs.

Sunday:

sunday1

Sleepy stars and stripes

sunday2

Obviously when you see a pile of leaves you throw them

sunday3

What does the Caroline say?

Monday:

monday1

A very patriotic wrap for a patriotic day

monday2

Grocery shopping with 3 kids is not my favorite

monday3

A beautiful night to go visit a submarine

Tuesday:

Snuggly errands

tuesday2

Why do my eyebrows only look this good for the 10 minutes after I have them waxed?

tuesday3

I’m in love with this picture

Wednesday:

wednesday1

Baby Dr. Evil

wednesday2

I’ve re-purposed the stuff I knit for Evan, since no one knits for baby #3

wednesday3

Ignore my face and loooook at that pretty orange!

Thursday:

thursday1

SMILEY

thursday2

See, I swear, I buy the wraps FOR HIM. HE LIKES THEM.

thursday3

I wouldn’t let a kid that close to my computer with a marker, but Daddy is nicer than me.

Friday:

friday1

We bought this car when I was pregnant with Caroline. It had 16000 miles on it.

friday2

THE MOST unflattering photo of myself I’ve ever voluntarily posted, but his face is too good to pass up. WTF IS ON YOUR HEAD, MOM?

friday3

New hairs are nice.

Saturday:

saturday1

Stealth photo of my husband in uniform during the comissioning ceremony.

saturday2

WHY AM I STILL AWAKE AT A PARTY AT 9 PM?

saturday3

Yeah, I ate that.

I am once again shocked at how many photos of my own face are in this post. I’m not a selfie person. Or at least, I didn’t think I was a selfie person. But that might have had something to do with being hugely pregnant for what felt like the last decade. It was also SO NICE to get my hair cut (even if I had to bring the baby) that I’m going back in 5 weeks to refresh my color. I have nice hair when I take care of it, and since right now I feel old and fat, I need to work on what makes me feel good. Maybe in a couple weeks I’ll do something REALLY crazy, like schedule a facial or a massage.

Oh who am I kidding, if I had money for a massage I’d just spend it on another wrap. I cannot stop drinking the babywearing Koolaid.

Yesterday was gross and horrible. Today is gorgeous and perfect. Welcome to New England in the fall. Or anytime, really. We don’t do in betweens.

Sunday:

sunday1

On a treasure hunt

sunday2

I am really glad that is not my job.

Pirates love Friendly’s

There’s a kid on Evan’s bus who likes to draw things for him. Since when are kids still making Stussy S’s????

thursday2

Just keep swimming

thursday3

A Bacon Turkey Bravo is my reward for an hour at the crowded, hot, LOUD pool.

Friday:

I like wraps because the pattern and the cute baby detract attention from my 4th day hair and no makeup face.

friday2

Sunset didn’t quite cooperate for my photoshoot, but the clouds are pretty

What big eyes you have at 11 pm.

Saturday:

saturday1

We went to the grocery store just to get a wrap nap

saturday3

Linc is not fooled by sneak attack kisses

I keep thinking it is only October 2nd or 3rd, maybe 5th at the most. This month is going surprisingly fast and I’m not very happy about it – November is the start of Winter Misery in Connecticut and Winter Misery with three kids is going to be extra miserable. But for now we are going to do all the fall things: Chowder Days and the pumpkin patch and hayrides and apple picking and dragging the kids around town to find the best places for fall leaf pictures.

My Week(205) in iPhone Photos

Monday, October 6th, 2014

This week (the one we’re in, not the one in the photos) is International Babywearing Week. In the last 2 months I’ve been totally brainwashed by those sneaky babywearers, who got me with their pretty patterns and fabric geekery and adorable selfies. I promise I’ll take pictures of other stuff one of these days, but since THIS week is IBW, I can’t promise it will happen soon.

Sunday:

sunday1

He’s a jumper, not a toe-dipper. He does not get it from me.

sunday2

Pretty in Pink

sunday3

Vacation baby sleeps on the couch

Monday:

monday1

I don’t think this qualifies as “baby” wearing

monday2

He’s frowning because this is NOT the pool with the gorgeous view. He still loves the actual floaty.

monday3

That’s my kid hugging my best friend’s kid. FEELINGS.

Tuesday:

tuesday1

We were supposed to leave at 7 am. Oops.

tuesday2

So of course this is what happened on I-95. More than an hour parked…

tuesday3

…which lead to some car nursing. PARKED. WE WERE PARKED.

Wednesday:

wednesday1

Vacation recovery day. I just stared at this for 12 hours.

wednesday2

FOXES. I’m not sure I’m going to keep this one, but it’s so adorable

wednesday3

A sea monster to eat your baby!

Thursday:

thursday1

My baby bump is still there. It’s just tied on to the outside.

thursday2

She thinks she’s “sneaking” apples for a snack. OH NO DON’T EAT THE APPLES.

thursday3

Floor nap success!

Friday:

friday1

Sweater weather

friday2

This one is called Ahoi and Caroline says it’s her’s.

They would walk for hours if the sun didn’t set so early

saturday2

Caroline thought Brutus needed to be put to bed

saturday3

I’m not keeping this one, even though Linc seems to like it.

It’s officially fall here in Connecticut, although I am resisting turning on the heat for at least a couple more days. It’s gorgeous and my photography is getting busy again and there are way too many fun things to do. We also got (what I’m calling tentative) confirmation we’re going to be staying in Connecticut for at least a little while longer, so I can just enjoy my friends and my life and not worry about starting over somewhere new. Although Hawaii is going to start looking pretty good when they come fill the oil tank.
