I read a thing the other day that said October is for photographer what April is for accountants. It’s absolutely true. I love being busy but this time of year Ginger Snaps sort of takes over my life and I’m working constantly to keep on top of my editing. What I’m saying is, this post (and probably every other post until Christmas) is late.
Sunday:
They could do this for hours
Church fashion (and cookies)
Caroline’s scarecrow is named Olivia and is truly terrifying
Monday:
I am unable to do anything but sing Home on the Range when I see these photos
Linc has already perfected his photobomb skills
They did this for a good 10 minutes straight
Tuesday:
Rainbow – and a super high tide – at Bluff Point
No nap grumpy pants has to come to the bus stop
THERE’S the nap. At 5 pm.
Wednesday:
Shopping for tunic tops to match my crazy leggings
Swinging
Great sunset! Too bad it happened 10 minutes into soccer practice.
Thursday:
Elf baby
Post swim fashion choices
He is convinced this is his new chair
Friday:
We’re about 2 weeks away from pitch-black morning bus stop
Both of these toddlers were pretty pleased with themselves
That corner of his blanket is SO GROSS
Saturday:
I can’t remember the last time I was actually outside and happy to see sunrise
Dadding like a boss
The most amusing part of our casino date night was this glitter alllllllll over the floor of the women’s room
I have like a billion phone photos I didn’t post this week, just because no one needs to see EVERY kind of beer I drank at Oktoberfest or ALL the corn maze selfies. But if you like these posts and don’t follow me on Instagram, you should do that. I try not to repeat stuff, so my feed over there is generally better than these.
Now I’m going to try to edit three photo sessions AND clean my house while Linc hangs on my knees and begs me to help him put a hat on so he can rip it off over and over and over. I’m optimistic.

It was really hot this week, so went to the lake, wore babies and sat on each other. Obviously.
Sunday:
Morning photoshoot at a marina
They both seemed OK with this, so I didn’t stop it.
Evening at the lake
Monday:
Morning at the lake
Sleepy baby face
The Queens Elsa
Tuesday:
Morning at the lake
When did his legs get so long?
More sibling sitting
Wednesday:
He figures by now he’s the boss of the lake
Linc walked around and around this bench for 20 minutes
Even the kids thought we should buy lavender to bring home because it smelled so good
Thursday:
This is what Caroline requested for breakfast.
Spoiled, spoiled children
Allllllll day at the lake
Friday:
This was supposed to be a nice picture of Caroline holding flowers, but she tried to smell them and stabbed herself in the eye
We were a hit in the frozen section
It’s really hot in my house.
Saturday:
There was music, so she was dancing
Heeeeere’s Lincy!
Planet viewing in the planetarium
SCHOOL STARTS ON WEDNESDAY. It’s so good and also so bad. I’m suddenly going to have a lot of time on my hands in the middle of the day and way too much to do in the morning and evening. I’m worried about the kids having a hard adjustment to classrooms (and Caroline to full day) after and structure and rules and having to wait their turn and stand in line and all of that after a summer of nothing but lake life and vacations.
But going grocery shopping with ONE baby I can put on my back? Heaven. My fridge is never going to be empty again!

This week Lincoln turned 1 and I started freaking out because summer feels almost over.
Sunday:
Target is easier when you can tie one kid to your back and bribe the other two with Icees.
All the kids love the Boppy
Lake Baby
Monday:
Sunflowers for Wishes is beauitful
Caroline dressed up for our wagon ride
I made the mistake of asking them to take a nice picture.
Tuesday:
Party planning
We have a LOT of clicky things from Wendy’s kids’ meals now.
This might have been the last time he napped nicely.
Wednesday:
If you look closely you can see my baby playing with his new 7 year old BFF.
Baby’s first deli cheese
It turns out clean and shopping is pretty good exercise
Thursday:
OK, I’M ONE NOW, I’M GOING SWIMMING
Birthday’s are exhausting
Bumpa will read you alllllll the books
Friday:
The bones of The Australia at Mystic Seaport
Figureheads
Using my camera to check and see if Linc is asleep yet. NOPE.
Saturday:
I’m proud that all my party guests noticed my sling matched the decor
He had a really good day
He has sad eyes because he tried to eat the lit candle, but eating an entire mini-cake cheered him up.
Linc’s first birthday party is over and it was SUCH a success. We were completely done and ready for our guests before they arrived (this never happens) and I got to relax and drink champagne while the kids screamed their heads off on the bounce house. My parents and E’s parents were both here which meant we had TWO grown ups per child – not to mention all the dads that Linc conned into picking him up and carrying him around. He’s really good with dads.
We’ve got some vacation coming up and I cannot waaaaaait. But first I have to get all those party photos sorted and posted, or they’ll end up in the file with the rest of this month’s fun activities and no one will ever see them. What good is a cool party theme without a blog post?!

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!

Caroline had morning day camp at Mystic Seaport last week, so we were out of the house Doing Stuff almost every day. Doing stuff is really fun, but I might not be up for stuff every day. Maybe every other day. This coming week Evan has full day Seaport Camp, so we’ll do even more stuff. I am both excited and already tired.
Sunday:
Caroline says “Look! You can’t even see me!”
Moon bears
This was not my first time at the zoo, so I brough dry clothes.
Monday:
He dresses himself.
Sleepy baby at camp pick-up
Can’t resist the lake, even when we’re tired
Tuesday:
Bed hog
Evan talked the seaport volunteer into doing ALL the puzzles with him.
He said he missed her while she was at camp
Wednesday:
Cheerios and a double stroller all to himself. SPOILED.
Cool dude
He didn’t even mind coming to dance rehearsal because he got to play Minecraft
Thursday:
Fishing Day at seaport camp
Cotton candy frapp
I am unable to handle Caroline in make up
Friday:
Best purchase!!
What are you doin’ lying on the floor? Just get up.
Tappity tap tap tap
Saturday:
Water baby at the zoo for the second time in a week
Mini ginger
Big ginger
I can’t believe it’s already the last week of June. I keep having to triple check the calendar to make sure I’m not on the wrong month. I have less than 4 weeks before Lincoln turns one and before his birthday party. I ordered a ton of birthday stuff but have no actual decorating plans beyond “hang up some sparkly stuff” and “maybe cake?” Luckily we have a bunch of family coming, so I will have people to help me cut up one zillion foods into star shapes.
It is freezing cold today but the forecast for the rest of the week looks perfect for lots of #lakelife fun. So far it’s been a pretty good summer.
