My Week(30) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

Sunday:

Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes with Homemade Raspberry Topping - sounds fancy but they took 10 minutes.

Ginormous iced coffee at E's hockey game

Caroline is thrilled to be outside on a nice day

Monday:

Morning cuddles in mama's bed

Friends forever

It was a long day, so both kiddos were asleep in time for me to watch Jeopardy.

Tuesday:

We ran downstairs in our PJ's to see the garbage truck. It's VERY exciting.

Baby toes at Stroller Strides

The climbing has gotten out of control, and even though he's pretty good at it I worry worry worry.

Wednesday:

Who cares if it was the nicest, sunniest day of the year - rain boots are always in style!

This guy is awesome and I am jealous of his can and fuzzy dice

Babywearing at BJ's

Thursday:

Someone takes her baby gym time very seriously

We've seen these baby goslings every week since they were teeny tiny. They were much cuter then.

Doing his own version of Stroller Strides at playgroup

Friday:

Playdate at the coolest playground around

I did a good job picking plants this year - these have doubled in size

Evening trip to Target for a window AC unit - our new third floor bedroom is H O T.

Saturday:

Little Evan's dreams came true when this giant truck came right up our driveway to deliver our gravel

Emergency trip to Toys R Us for an on-sale water table. I'm hoping it keeps one very nosey toddler entertained while we work outside.

Seen in the parking lot: 1990's Bronco with a giant lift kit & the top cut off...with a car seat in the back. Damn fine parenting right there.

Patio weekend continues. We are all extremely dirty and tired and we didn’t even really get started until 4 pm today. Another 12 hours of digging tomorrow and we’ll PROBABLY be ready to start with that giant pile of gravel. I expect to have hugely strong arms by Wednesday.

Did you take any camera phone photos this week? Link up with one or lots using the linky below and grab the code (so it shows on your blog too!) over at Amy’s . It’s really fun!

Digging In For Summer

Friday, May 27th, 2011

Happy Friday!

Sweet tea, homeade sugar cookies & a beautiful bouquet of irises on the front porch. Bliss.

Yeah, I’m relaxing right now but not for long – it’s officially the start of patio weekend here in Connecticut! The weather looks like it’s going to cooperate (although we’re going to be literal hot messes by 10 am every day and chugging water by the bucketful) and Lowe’s came through with our pavers even though they told us LAST NIGHT they were out of stock everywhere. We’re ready to turn our crappy back yard into a fantastic family spot.

Here’s the before, as I write this, right now view of our future patio:

YIKES.

Wish us luck and no broken toes!
