Alternate title: The first week after the time change so all my photos are dark and blurry because I haven’t gotten used to the sun setting at 4:30. I’m going to schedule a nice, colorful, sunny photo post to go up tomorrow morning because this is too depressing to leave at the top of the blog for long.
Sunday:
They both love this
OMINOUS ORCHARD IS OMINOUS
Putting the kids to work making a pie they refused to eat
Monday:
Toddlers on the loose
Riding the dog like a small horse is frowned upon in this establishment!
Stupid time change
Tuesday:
Why look at fish when you can hang out in the aquarium reading area?
$3 worth of dead fish make the stingrays way more fun
The force is strong with this one
Wednesday:
He’s plotting how to knock the largest number of things off the shelves
While the sun is up the weather is GORGEOUS
Poor ear infection girl
Thursday:
Matching leggings 4 life
MUCH needed nap time
Super ambitious sewing plans (so far so good)
Friday:
Wearing two babies instead of one
Suspicious baby is suspicious
Sleeping like he’s posed for a newborn photo
Saturday:
Weirdos
Bacon crackers. So simple. so delicious.
Playing cards is my favorite
I was really confused when I realized today is November 8th, which means November is 1/4th over already. HOW is that POSSIBLE? As ready as I am for Christmas decorating, I’m not actually ready for Christmas. I still have to plan Thanksgiving and Caroline’s birthday, schedule our family pictures, order Christmas cards, and buy all the presents. Plus E has a bunch of travel for work, which means I’ll be doing it alone. At least that means I can have cereal for dinner along with the kids.

I feel like our week was a lot busier than these photos make it look, but I can’t remember why.
Sunday:
I promise they actually enjoy the zoo
Evan said he made a rabbit art sculpture and requested I take a photo
Linc’s going to miss the lake
Monday:
GOOD BYE LAKE 2015
NO I WON’T GO YOU CAN’T MAKE ME
I de-laked the back of the minivan
Tuesday:
Free range parenting
Important cutting homework
Not a great sign on the way TO ballet
Wednesday:
Kettlecorn is everyone’s favorite
MY DADDYYYYYYY
I didn’t even have to fake the skies in my photos from this session
Thursday:
Boooooo bus stop in the rain
Off to explore the aquarium on his own.
AVERT YOUR EYES, I’M BREASTFEEDING IN THIS PHOTO
Friday:
One baby got to watch Elmo during her breathing treatment, so ALL the babies needed to watch.
My baby is the cutest.
But not the most cooperative with photos.
Saturday:
Caroline really likes carousels
I took the same picture last year but he was tiny and asleep in a wrap
Evan is obsessed with winning a giant stuffed animal
This week is Week 2 Of All The Fall Activities Starting which means we add Judo for Evan. I’m really hoping it helps with his ability to focus on something OTHER than an iPad and maybe control his body a little bit more when it comes to school. So now we’re up to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday activities. Next week we add swim.
My hope is eventually we’ll all be so tired we sleep 12 hours a night every night. I am totally up for a 6 pm bedtime.

The kids went back to school this week, which mean my photos are going to be Linc-heavy for next…forever.
Sunday:
SO READY
Grocery store assistant
High chair? Why would I need a high chair?
Monday:
Where am I?! What year is this???
Preparing for her show
I bleach shampooed my hair. I’ll do a real post about it but the short review is A++
Tuesday:
Babies are hilarious
Evan agrees. Babies, man.
How we got through Back to School night
Wednesday:
First day of school! BUH-BYE!
A rainbow wrap and a pink truck. MY KID IS DOOOOOOMED.
The Book Barn is my new favorite
Thursday:
Aquarium playdate
IT’S SO QUIET
Starting her young
Friday:
Waving bye-bye to the bus is super fun
Living the toddler dream
Fair Life
Saturday:
I’m not sure we brought enough watermelon
He’s going to miss eating sand SO MUCH
Blankets are pretty much his favorite thing in the whole world
I am SO happy to have the kids back at school, even though school brings a whole new level of stress and deadlines and homework and one zillion pieces of paper that need my attention. They need the structure of school and the friends and the break from me (and my often short temper) right now. I figure by Christmas we’ll all be super excited to hang out together again. Right now I’m just going to enjoy the crap out of my one tiny baby who can’t talk back.
And if I say “Christmas” again before December, please punch me in the face.

Hello. It is summer.
Sunday:
Morning lap naps because we have no where to be
Sports!
She’s very good at selfies
Monday:
Our Mystic day started at the aquarium
Then I tied my baby to a chair to eat grilled cheese…
Then Caroline decorated a whale at the seaport
Tuesday:
I’M A BIG KID
LOOK AT ME BEING BIG
Being a big kid is exhausting
Wednesday:
That whale is definitely trying to eat her
Caroline thinks sitting is boring
LINC THINKS SITTING IS VERY EXCITING
Thursday:
Bed stealer
Perfect
One Caroline to push 3 babies. She’s got it.
Friday:
So grown
Evan is doing is presentation about Seaport Camp and explaining his picture looks like that because he “only works in black and sometimes very very dark gray”.
Babies do not have good table manners
Saturday (Happy Fourth!!):
The Mayflower!! Linc is unimpressed because he knows it’s a replica.
Matching dresses are awesome
We stayed up waaaaaaay too late
And on that note, I am going to bed. The weekend was fun but exhausting and NO ONE has taken a real nap in more than a week. I need at least 6 hours of sleep in a row if I have any chance of functioning this week. Good night!

Holiday weekend = I don’t even know what day it is anymore. E had Friday off but is at work today, but was home for Saturday and Sunday so we were out of the house the WHOLE time. This is the first time I have even touched my laptop. I sense that might happen a lot this summer, since our default activity is “swimming at the lake” and that means way less screen time. Not a bad thing.
Sunday:
Sleep in the morning
Sleep in the afternoon
Party all night!
Monday:
If there is water around, this child will end up in it.
Downtown New London
This is her swim pose, according to her
Tuesday:
Shouting at the neighbors
I’m hoping the baby is cute enough to make up for my crow’s feet. SHEESH.
LOUNGING
Wednesday:
So pale he’s translucent
There were like 50 of these photos on my phone. I’m guessing Caroline took them.
Freeze pop time
Thursday:
Those socks are ridiculously small
IS THIS SCHOOL YEAR OVER YET?
Boys hanging out, Caroline practicing
Friday:
Princess Caroline wears high heels AND kicks your butt
Getting his summer reading started?
That’s Caroline up in my custom wrap. We ALL love it.
Saturday:
Shoe thief makes a break for the exit
New photo opp at the aquarium
They are both fans of dads wearing babies
I can’t believe I have to pack THREE more weeks of lunches for Evan. I am so, so ready to have the kids home for the summer. I realize in a month and a half I’ll be screaming “OMG WHEN DO THEY GO BACK TO SCHOOOOL??” but right now the beautiful weather + wanting to sleep in + our new lake beach club membership = ready for summer. I just need the water to get a TINY bit warmer so Linc and I can swim/float around. Right now he’s mostly eating sand, which he enjoys on the way in but does not enjoy on the way out.
I’m already 2 days late for Linc’s 10 monthday update post, but I swear I’ll do it this week. I also have two posts with actual words almost done, so this might be a record week for me – I haven’t blogged that much in years. CAN YOU HANDLE IT, INTERNETS? Of course you can. It’s not that interesting.
