I AM SO READY TO HAVE CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE OUT OF MY HOUSE FOREVER. I swear to god, the number one advantage in DIY home improvement isn’t cost, it’s the fact that you can stop and use your kitchen to make a sandwich if you want without being in anyone’s way.
Sunday:
Someone made some poor choices
Really tired of gymnastics nursing
Monday:
Still asleep when it’s time to leave for camp
Book Barn adventures
Why do we even own toys?
Tuesday:
I swear I’ve taken this photo every week all summer
Watching for ugly fish
Littlest aquarium fan
Wednesday:
He refused to move until I took his picture
You can see through my walls
Thursday:
Playing in the water
Waiting for the bridge to go up
I took a picture so I could go buy an identical diverter and I still got the wrong one
Friday:
No stop don’t run away
I don’t know what’s behind me
Being an A+ big sister
Saturday:
Seussian shenanigans
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Super cool art and play space
I’m trying to pick a grey paint color again and it’s making me insane. Because why not spend three days agonizing over paint colors when the painting has to be done by Saturday?

Still several weeks behind. I’m at the point where I can’t remember what some of these photos are from. I’m also very surprised by how often we leave the house, because it definitely feels like we spend most days shouting at each other in the living room.
Monday:
Caroline is currently obsessed with bows
Should I eat these animal crackers or the shoe? It’s a hard decision.
Such a cutie
Tuesday:
Catching creatures in the Mystic River
Ok, bye, check in later?
I should set up a tub and washboard at home.
Wednesday:
Lake fun
Lake nap
Thursday:
Super fun art activity at Lutz Children’s Museum
Hello turtle friend
REAL LIFE HEIHEI
Friday:
Friends at the lake
Baby at the beach
Lake life is exhausting
Saturday:
Look at that enormous baby
He can sleep ANYWHERE
Trying to get his own snacks now
Less than a week until birthday party go time and I literally cannot reach my dining room table because of the sheet rock all over the room. Which is great! Fine! I’m sure I can get ALL the party planning done between 8 pm Friday and 2 pm Saturday.

They put sheet rock up in my kitchen today, so I’m feeling slightly better than I was yesterday. I’m starting to think someday they might actually finish.

It actually looks WORSE now

Salt marsh sunset

Snugglesssss
Private beach
Happy baby

Such Pinterest-worthy decor in this nursery

She doubts her daddy’s cooking skills

At least the shower is done
Saw this on a chair at Seaport Camp. Pleased we picked a good camp.
Tasted even better than it looked

My favorite cat
Caroline loves fireworks
Finn does not love fireworks

We have a lot of stuff going on over the next few weeks, which is good, because counting down to our Disney trip is making time pass SO SLOWLY. I’m terrible at secrets and I’m pretty sure I’m going to accidentally tell the kids sooner than I meant to. I’m still trying to plan how and when exactly we’ll surprise them, but because we had some unexpected reactions to rides at the amusement park on Sunday (Evan hated all the roller coasters and had to be coaxed onto even small rides) I think a few days of watching Disney vacation videos and YouTube ride-throughs will be a good idea.
Sunday:
Happy Mother’s Day to me!
Family Target trip
I’m so well loved
Monday:
Re-entry into real life is hard
Real life is hard for toddlers too
A good summer sunset
Tuesday:
Front porch life
Brother friends at the library
Evening walk
Wednesday:
Can’t keep a kid out of a fountain
Downtown New London is pretty
No biggie, my sister’s wedding is just in a magazine
Thursday:
Monster attack
Robot vacuum tried to eat the baby
Cosmic Kids Yoga is their new favorite way to end the day
Friday:
Aquarium date with some penguins
Friday night we had the aquarium all to ourselves
Eating french fries in a beer garden
Saturday:
We’re working on moving him to the crib with mixed results
Linc and I invented carrot cheesecake bars and they were delicious
We always play guys vs girls and for the FIRST TIME EVER the girls won both times
Linc has been napping for THREE HOURS and I’m almost caught up on Call the Midwife so even though I slept sitting up in a chair all night today is pretty good. Plus I have a whole fridge full of meal delivery dinners so I don’t have to stress about what I’m making tonight. Now if only the baby will let me eat something without holding him I’ll be a happy person.

Not only am I going out of town away from my children tomorrow for the first time in 3 years, I got ALL the self-care stuff done this week. I got my hair cut and colored, I got a facial and spent some time at the spa relaxing, and I got a gel manicure and a pedicure. So for the next four days I am totally prepared to look like a fully functional, stylish adult who doesn’t go a year between haircuts and wears pajamas to the bus stop. Let’s just hope I meet all new people and not anyone who reads here regularly and already knows I’m a mess.
Sunday:
Honestly I have this on my Timehop from EVERY year
One of these kids isn’t mine
Very fancy dessert
Monday:
EYELASHES
SO MANY NAPS
I am such an amazing fashion blogger
Tuesday:
He thinks it’s hilarious that he’s outside with no shirt
Linc, did you eat all Finn’s dried strawberries? “No”
Dinner assistant
Wednesday:
Mini-me
Tree full of vultures
Hey, Snuggles
Thursday:
May the 4th Be With You
I took these guys bra shopping. They were remarkably patient.
Yoga time
Friday:
Friday vibes
Linc hated the shower until this exact moment, now he likes it
Saturday:
I love this corner
Linc loves chips and salsa
Finn HATES hospital bracelets
The hospital trip was because Finn was super grumpy and warm and when I took his temp it was 104.9, higher than I am comfortable ignoring, which is what I usually do with fevers. So I called the after-hours number and the doctor on call told me she’d feel better if I took him to the ER to make sure there wasn’t anything seriously wrong. They couldn’t find anything. He seemed fine, except that it was midnight so he was really tired. But the diagnosis was basically “you have a super cute baby, take him home and get some sleep”. So we did. And he’s been mostly ok since, except that he’s still got a low grade fever and hates sleeping.
Send up lots of good thoughts and prayers that he cheers up and doesn’t have a fever at all this week while E is solo-parenting!
