Three little troublemakers

The sun made it less cold

Photo session heaven

READY TO GO

Now I’m nursing a baby AND a stuffed dog all the time

“My favorite part of my neighborhood is DD” That’s Dunkin Donuts. Mama’s so proud.

Poppy & Rye *heart eyes forever*

Guilty face

This is the freestyle portion of ballet

Skeptical of swim, as always

Box = more entertaining than thousands of real toys

Family Insanity Workout Time

LASHES

Bird stalking

Fancy hairs

So cooperative and good at sharing, toddlers are

The number of things he insists on sleeping with keeps growing

Blowing stuff up while Caroline learns piano

Basketball poses

Babywearing in the Navy-themed Tula at the Navy-themed museum

THE GIRL’S TEAM WON BOTH GAMES IT’S A HAND AND FOOT MIRACLE

Poser

FOOTBAAAAAAALL

I am unable to stop myself from decorating for a party almost a week early

Aspirational spring dress purchasing

Snow angels! FINALLY!

TWINNING

I bought my mom fish like these at a craft fair this summer. These are at Target.

RAINBOWS AT TARGET

Important party shopping: sugar, flowers, lemons

Tiny reader

Nappy time

Caroline is being supportive of Daddy’s workout

It is still Christmas at the florist

They both thought this was hilarious

Making caramel for the popcorn balls

Linc and friends enjoyed the party food

We ate kind of a lot of baked goods

I TOTALLY forgot piano, but our teacher let us come late

Movies and house-trashing because…

…this was outside

She has given up on life because she can’t go out and build a snowman in a blizzard

New picture frames!

Building his – I mean EVAN’S – new Legos

Playing with Christmas presents like a big kid

Trying to put clips in his hair, always

Naps

FORCED SIBLING LOVE IS THE BEST KIND

He would have slept with that wrapping paper if I let him

It is slightly less dark when the kids get off the bus

Swinging

Rainbow carwash

Finding new uses for my newborn posing beanbag

Thought process: Oh look how pretty that beam of light looks. End result: Unremarkable random photo of moldings.

Sleeping baby

Sad baby

Happy baby

The cat hates being cold in the winter

Doing important baby work

MORE NAPS – we had friends over but he was so tired he ASKED for naps

I am SO GLAD I am not in charge of the basketball clinic

Showing off their new basketball skills

Caroline can’t hang past 8 pm.

CUTEST PRINT EVER

My town can be pretty cute

Driving directly into the sun – scenic but inconvenient 

The only time he is EVER still

We introduced Evan to video games

SO HELPFUL

He’s pretending to be the more mature one

I MADE THOSE WHICH IS NOT AT ALL CRAZY

Editing and watching Arrow, two of my favorites

HAPPY PEPPERMINT SEASON (ignore my nails)

Thank goodness he loves sleeping

Caroline is in that box

Doin’ important baby work

SURE HAVE A COOKIE JUST STAND STILL

She’s very excited Darth Vader is on her pajamas

Post-flu-shot faces

She got send home from school for “feeling sick”

Hot chocolate stirring spoons: chocolate marshmallow, white chocolate peppermint, salted caramel

The turtle’s name is Stretch, which Caroline forgets every time

Anyone need a really poorly made tutu?

Toddler nursing is a little like being mauled by an animal

Everyone needed some love on Monday

And then he got stuck. Poor choices.

Probably the largest collection of Wendy’s kid’s meal toys in the world

Shopping buddy

He is SO convinced he’s helping

Ballet has replaced swim as my least favorite activity (because I have to bring all the kids)

My children asked to be locked in a closet

A friend asked me to take a picture of her bow

Evan asked me not to talk to him anymore because he was too busy

Bus stop weirdos

Partners in crime

The queen of snack-stealing

Toddler Party

This appears to be a very low budget horror movie, filming in my neighborhood

Sleepy baby

Babies are not super helpful on photoshoots

I’m going to make-over that Cozy Coupe, but Linc already loves it

Caroline wants a pet “just for her”. I said no to rodents.
