More perfect weather. Well done, Connecticut.

Playing SO NICELY together before school

Daddy met the bus for the first time ever

GO TO CHILI’S AND ORDER THIS THING IMMEDIATELY

Still wicked happy to get on the bus for school every day

Twirling is her favorite

Squeaky clean

I AM READY FOR THE BEACH WHY ARE WE NOT AT THE BEACH?

NOW we are at the beach. He spent 2 hours in the (cold) water.

FASHUN

Imaginary hopscotch

Basically all my pictures are waiting for a bus these days.

Hide and seek! BET YOU CAN’T FIND CAROLINE.

Eat this with cream cheese and/or honey.

BFFs

I can’t help it, this might be my favorite set of photos ever (also, Evan took this, he was like “TAKE A PICTURE OF THE PRINCESS!!!”)

“Daddy made yummy pancakes!” he says in the pancake restaurant.

Fairy Princess Caroline reads to Candy Crush Dragon Daddy

And Daddy reads to the gingers

One of those Top 10 for Kids is probably a bad idea.

For someone who BEGGED for mac and cheese, that face is not happy enough

A pumpkin mocha iced latte, that’s what

Hand stamping some thank you cards to go in my fancy professional type photographer packaging

Protecting Brutus from a thunder storm

Then we went to the beach…

Then we went to the country….

…so it’s not surprising Wednesday looks like this….

…and this. (They both went to school Wednesday and I went to work, there are just no iPhone photos.)

The definition of “partly cloudy” – and pretty good for a family session

Greek food, get in my face

Sun-streaking

Because that’s what stickers are for.

Well done Connecticut (with an assist by Long Island in the background)

She would ride the carousel ALL DAY if they let her

I promised him a bouncy house but it was gone, so I finally FINALLY bought him the light up bubble gun he’s asked for at every fair and carnival and festival and parade we’ve been to for the last year.

Apparently this is the only photo I took on Sunday. I can’t even remember Sunday. Did Sunday even happen?

Nothing like a nuclear power plant to add to my scenic beach photos

I love this beach

The most adorable ice cream and candy store in the world

She changed her mind about the birds. NO BIRDS, MOMMY.

Sea lion show. My kids can name all the sea lions.

Grilled cheese of the day: Basil pesto, artichokes, tomatoes, mozzarella on Italian bread.

In this episode, Spiderman joins S.H.I.E.L.D. I had to Google to find out if that was accurate (it is).

Evan’s favorite part of his new school: cool sinks.

Orientation is EXHAUSTING.

Ready to go!

The cat loves Caroline

This is her “WE’RE GETTING CHEESEBURGERS!” face

Playing “Tick-tock croc eats Captain Hook!” while we wait for the bus

She is loving our outside play time while we wait for the bus. It makes me feel bad we never use our (very tiny) front yard.

Doin’ sciencey stuff

Not swinging. Sitting. Because I was working. But she refused to get out (or put on pants).

I’ve been going to the clinic on base for 8 years and this was the first time I ever noticed the water tower. Observant!

Cooperative art

We pay $200 a year for an aquarium membership and they think the lobsters at the grocery store are just as good.

Go on vacation? Nah, we’ll hang at this rest area and look at diggers.

Can’t you see I’m RELAXING? Knock it off with the pictures.

RELAAAAAAAAAAX

Man-time fishing on the lake

Jumper!

Golden child

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.

Tired.

Mess.

Tired.

My sister and her boyfriend are EXCELLENT child watchers. I like them.

The princess generously bestows bacon upon her people.

Beach baby

THREE GINGERS.

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.
