My Week(111) in iPhone Photos

Sunday, December 16th, 2012

Thank you for your texts, phone calls and tweets friends. We’re in the other half of the state from the shooting so we are all OK. A friend on Facebook reposted a status update from a relative who lives in Newtown, Connecticut today, thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers but asking that we stop tuning in to the 24/7 news coverage so the media will leave them alone. I couldn’t agree more. I have no words for what happened and my children are too young (thank God) to be aware of what’s happened, so I’m trying to prevent it from affecting them by tuning out. Caroline’s birthday party was on Saturday and I am so, so thankful her 2-year-old world is untouched.

Sunday:

Awesome parenting 101: don’t be afraid to use your sleeping daughter as a mouse pad.

Solo grocery shopping with a peppermint mocha = dream come true.

We’ve never been in this toy store before. We will DEFINITELY be going back.

Up before the sun, but at least he has a cat to keep him warm.

friday2

Bumpa made a joke about putting the children to work. The children insisted on following through. Note the jammies under her coat and boots. Note to Bumpa: Toddlers don’t understand sarcasm.

friday3

The last photo I took on Friday was at preschool drop off. The rest of the day I checked out of my phone.

Saturday:

Checking out the candy selection on the Frost Your Own Tree table

Someone please come over and help me eat leftovers.

saturday3

A bathtub tea party requires your best necklace

For the rest of the day we’re going to eat leftover cookies and cuddle on the couch and watch Disney and play anything the kids want to without complaining. Actually, that’s pretty much the plan for every day for the rest of the year. We’re boring, but at least we are together.

My Week(110) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

I was transferring photos off my phone for this week’s round up and I couldn’t believe it was THIS WEEK that Caroline broke her chin. It feels like a million years ago. Well, except for the part where she had the stitches out on Friday, because the screaming is still echoing in my ears.

Sunday:

Goldfish crackers – Pretty much the same as lidocaine when it comes to relieving chin pain in toddlers

Waitress, this coffee is TERRIBLE.

Get in my face.

Monday:

Wall painters

This pizza place had a bin of toys for the kids. And also really good pizza.

No filter

Tuesday:

Does my fancy hair distract you from my exhausted, dirty face?

Dashing through the family room

Magical winter scene, complete with giant jingle bells and pine cones? Sure!

Wednesday:

No words.

Hanging twinsies

Evan is making that face because Caroline is SCREAMING her head off. The grocery store is torture.

Thursday:

Weirdos.

My favorite and my best cookies

Glow-y

Friday:

Pantsless emergency!!

See my beluga, Mom? DO YOU SEE IT???

Evan acted as photographer while Caroline had her stitches out. There was video too, but I deleted it because OMG WHO WANTS TO RELIVE THAT?!

 Saturday:

Too early for life.

I mean, yeah, it’s gorgeous. But who’s kid could wear that without RUINING it?!

Last of the party prep. NEXT WEEK!!

I have three weeks worth of stuff and three days to do it before my parents get here so the next week is going to be crazy-full. And with E on shift work (AGAIN) I’m doing it all while solo-parenting. I really hope the kids are ready for Elf on repeat. I love smiling, smiling’s my favorite.

My Week(109) in iPhone Photos

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

I have pretty much never been gladder a week was over. We are never getting back together, Week 109. Like, ever.

Sunday:

Football!!!! Oh wait…zzzzzzzz.

First non-screaming bath time in a week. Good thing I stopped using acid to wash her instead of water (Note: no acid was actually used)

I mostly take photos so I can play with Photoshop.

Monday:

Thanksgiving leftovers on my poor swollen face parts.

Couch potatoes

One day, this will be dining room curtains

Tuesday:

Evan made that thing at preschool and apparently it’s Caroline’s new BFF

Snooooooooow!

Catching snowflakes on her tongue. From inside the house. YOU argue with her.

Wednesday:

Insisting that it’s time to build a snowman

Good dog

Help, I’m being buried in crap you insist on buying at Target even though you know perfectly well you don’t need it!

 Thursday:

Little red goldfish hood

The house is a sparkly disaster

I don’t CARE if you like it, just wash your hair.

Friday:

Fake candles and Ikea holders = HOURS of fun

Practicing for her job as one of Santa’s Elves

Oh no, where is Caroline?! I can’t find her!!

Saturday:

Horsies!

Spinning!!

Santa!!! I know him!!

So yeah, that doesn’t actually look so bad but I assure you the 12 hours after that Santa photo were pretty miserable. A migraine, hacking coughs, throw up, stitches, another fainting spell and a four hour drive home split up among 3 people…so…I’m pretty tired. My plan is to get 10 hours of sleep tonight and jump back in to real life with both feet tomorrow. Carefully though, so no one else ends up in the ER.

My Week(108) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, November 24th, 2012

Thanksgiving! Christmas stuff! Both of my kids have given up napping! SEND HELP.

Sunday:

Operation Find The Dining Room Table commences

Armed and dangerous

I asked her to play me a song. She plotted my death.

Monday:

I think we’ve reached aquarium saturation for this month.

Beluga watching

Caroline watching Caroline

Tuesday:

I did all my shopping in 25 minutes (it’s SO much easier when you’re kid-free)

Oh no, he’s being sucked out into space! What a horrible death!!!

Tandem Disney watching

Wednesday:

WAY too much energy for 6:30 am

Finally finishing one of the 13 things I’m in the middle of knitting

Let the baking begin!

Thursday:

She’s practicing for her own parade debut

So thankful

Cider + rum = YUM

Friday:

Off to get our tree!

Admire the tree, ignore the weirdos blowing into a plastic ornament

The opposite of Black Friday morning shopping – 6 pm at an almost empty Target

Saturday:

They came downstairs and yelled “IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!!” Actual Christmas is going to blow their minds.

Local parades are weird.

God bless washable paint

 This week is going to be both super long and super short. I’m taking holiday photos for a couple of friends (I absolutely love doing it) and we’re hoping to squeeze in our Christmas trip to Sesame Place but most of my time and energy is going in to Caroline’s birthday party prep. I love party prep. This one is going to be extra awesome, if I do say so myself. Fairies and sparkles and animals oh my.

My Week(103) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, October 20th, 2012

The Internet hates my blog tonight, so I’m attempting this from my phone. It’s not going well so far.

Sunday:

This hotel is lame, when are we going back to Sesame Place?

I’m FLYYYYYYYING

Not a fan of standing in lines to ride the carousel.

Monday:

Sir Elmo defeated the dragon by breaking him in half

Teething baby’s sad face is contagious

Her rat-tail is getting out of control, but I don’t have the heart to cut it.

Tuesday:

I actually really enjoyed this tea. I don’t know who I am anymore.

9 am Icee so I can run errands in peace. Mother of the year.

She insisted on being wrapped up all day.

Wednesday:

I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to do it, Caroline.

What’s that? I’m NOT supposed to be back here? OOPS, MY BAD.

Is there something on my face?

Thursday:

Who wants to come over and sing Beauty and the Beast songs while I practice playing piano?

Holy cow, Connecticut is scenic sometimes

Very pleased with her apple.

Friday:

Doing very important toddler work.

Fake ice cream with fake chocolate chips is fake satisfying.

This table is trippy, man.

;
I have adorable Saturday pictures too, but am not talented enough to upload them on a screen I can barely see. I’m apparently 75 years old. GET OFF MY LAWN.
