This post is late and I got less than 3 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours and I barely remember how I got home from the airport last night and Caroline is sitting on my lap with her slightly terrifying My Little Pony Equestria Girl introducing her to all the princess dolls and I have 5 photo sessions to edit so what I’m saying is if this post makes none sense don’t be surprised.
Sunday:
Princess Pirate Butterfly Caroline’s new best friend, the Dragon Ice Cream dragon
Evan defends his family against a zombie puppet
Sleepy, smudgy butterfly
Who knew a Kohl’s parking lot could be so inspiring?
Monday:
I don’t even know.
Sand castles on our deserted beach
About 20 seconds later Caroline and her friends smashed them all.
Tuesday:
They’re having a mini-conference on how best to beg me for that candy on the counter
Cleaning and trying out my headphones for an upcoming post
Shooties. Verdict after wearing them all weekend: Wise choice! Very comfortable for high heels, lots of compliments, only felt slightly like I have hooves.
Wednesday:
Who is this huge person going to preschool and where is my baby?
Another stunning fall day in Connecticut (Town Hall)
Watching Monsters University (again! We saw it in the theater!) with the kids
Thursday:
I took a picture of my parking garage level/number to I didn’t have to remember when I can back at 1 am Monday. BRILLIANT. Worked perfectly.
Boston!
Random MARTA station in Georgia where my friend Miranda picked me up!
Friday:
Average attention span in 2012: 8 SECONDS. Now you know why we needed a session on writing engaging content.
All cleaned up for dinner with my other Minute Clinic bloggers at Type A
The crazy cab ride was worth it to get to this place. AMAAAAAAZING.
Saturday:
In case you were wondering, THAT is an Equestria Girl. I managed to snag one when they were breaking down the booth on Sunday.
My next DIY, obvs.
Atlanta was really pretty
Step 1 in getting back to my real life: write down all the stuff on the calendar I’ve been ignoring because it was “in October” and “October is a really long time from now”. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <– the sound I just made looking at the stack of papers from the kids’ schools talking about open house nights and PTO meetings and pizza parties. Back to work!

It’s feast or famine this week: some days a took a ton of pictures, some days I took almost none. I think my real problem is I need yoga pants with pockets, so I can keep my phone with me all the time.
Sunday:
I guess this weather is OK.
Super excited to hang out with Daddy
Sunday = Football
Monday:
Sharing
Park to ourselves
Nicely done, kind-of-sketchy-park, you look extremely respectable.
We made it down this aisle without buying ANY candy. It’s a Stop and Shop Miracle!
Tuesday:
Cat as still life
I live with a bunch of weirdos.
Wednesday:
Picture day at school mean cool kid clothes instead of the uniform
I WANNA TAKE THE PICTURE! – tiny selfie addict
Newborn session set up
Thursday:
This is the only picture I have from Thursday. I can’t remember a single thing we did.
Friday:
Rapunzels.
Newborn set up on Friday (in my own room, where it was ONE BILLION DEGREES…but the baby loved it)
Saturday:
I feel bad for the person whose job it is to keep these tables clean.
Birthday cupcakes for the Cabbage Patch Kids!
Watching trains from the train
Passed out on the Metro North. It was a busy day!
This week is going to be bananas (B A N A N A S) so apologies if you’re staring at this post forever and/or for the extremely photo heavy posts I might put up instead. We’ve done a lot of fun stuff over the last few weeks but I’m having a hard time finding actual WORDS to talk about them instead of just letting pictures do it. But a picture is worth a thousand words, so really I’m writing like, 20,00 words a day. YOU’RE WELCOME.

Last week of summer, first week of school! Except I just realized today Labor Day means no school for anyone tomorrow, so we can fit in one more beach/fun day before we start a regular schedule.
Sunday:
Apparently this is the only photo I took on Sunday. I can’t even remember Sunday. Did Sunday even happen?
Monday:
Nothing like a nuclear power plant to add to my scenic beach photos
I love this beach
The most adorable ice cream and candy store in the world
Tuesday:
She changed her mind about the birds. NO BIRDS, MOMMY.
Sea lion show. My kids can name all the sea lions.
Grilled cheese of the day: Basil pesto, artichokes, tomatoes, mozzarella on Italian bread.
Wednesday:
In this episode, Spiderman joins S.H.I.E.L.D. I had to Google to find out if that was accurate (it is).
Evan’s favorite part of his new school: cool sinks.
Orientation is EXHAUSTING.
Thursday:
Ready to go!
The cat loves Caroline
This is her “WE’RE GETTING CHEESEBURGERS!” face
Friday:
Playing “Tick-tock croc eats Captain Hook!” while we wait for the bus
She is loving our outside play time while we wait for the bus. It makes me feel bad we never use our (very tiny) front yard.
What do you wear when it’s 80 degrees?
Saturday:
Craft store…
…pretzel burger…
…and Sherlock. PERFECT SATURDAY.
I’m so excited Evan likes school, the bus situation seems to be working out, and that when Caroline starts school on Tuesday I will be able to get back to a regular schedule for me too. I loved going to the gym last year, but totally failed during the summer. I need to get exercise back on my list of priorities, if only because I have to be in better shape to work as a photographer. Taking newborn photos is like doing 200 squats. I’m going to have buns of steel if people keep hiring me.

My pictures this week are all blurry, of people’s back, or of nothing interesting. It’s actually a terrible representation of our week – we did a lot of stuff!! – but the more I have my big camera in my hands the less I use my phone. My poor Instagram feed is sadly neglected. Maybe some day I’ll find a balance.
Sunday:
A rare Suzanne sighting IN one of my pictures.
Couch naps at the lake – sleeping like a baby.
Oh, it’s cold and cloudy? NO1CURR. We want to swim.
Monday:
Evan decided mint chocolate chip is his favorite, which was totally my favorite as a kid too.
IT’S SO GOOD ONCE IT HITS YOUR LIPS.
Watching my kids play with my old toys in my old house is always weird.
Tuesday:
Jersey Plates: FISTPMP (I was stopped, traffic was terrible)
This is how she feels about cheeseburgers
The moon is far less impressive in this picture, but was very cool. You’ll just have to trust me.
Wednesday:
Hands in her pockets.
Don’t let her face fool you, she luuuuuvs frozen yogurt.
An evening walk-run-roll in the grass
Thursday:
For a kid who was having a TON OF FUN, that’s a pretty strong side-eye.
MISSER TATO HEAD!!!
Dancing at the winery – they fell down a lot for people who weren’t even drinking.
Friday:
DRIVE THRU STARBUCKS DRIVE THRU STARBUCKS IN MY TOWN! And whatever this peach green tea lemonade thing is is delicious.
What are these candies shaped like rings?? What sorcery is this?!?!?!
Gorgeous night for a photo shoot at the beach.
Saturday:
Princesses love strawberries for breakfast.
As close as I get to a day off – letting them destroy the house and watch TV.
Evening walk. Still in royal princess garb.
This week is going to be crazy too (pictures, orientation, Evan’s first day of school ON A BUS!) but hopefully I can do a better job blogging than I did last week. My mother will be very sad if I quite posting pictures of her grandchildren because I’m taking pictures of other people.

Sunday, July 28th, 2013
Our week was busy, except for when it wasn’t because of the pouring rain and flash floods. But mostly busy.
Sunday:
I mean, I only have three doll houses, why not buy another one? (I did not)
Caroline is destined for music videos with lots of mind machines
I appreciate how the trees on the point hide most of the nuclear power plant. More scenic.
Monday:
I’ve never actually seen the state capitol before
Confucius say: Give a man $120 and he will give you an LLC.
Sometimes I take pictures of stuff I want to remember to keep on my phone, but then I forgot to leave them on my phone.
Tuesday:
The local tax office is located in part of an old TB hospital.
HUGS
We love the sunflowers
Wednesday:
Really excited for gymnastics
Playdates make me hungry, and this was super delicious
I told Evan he is my photography assistant, and he said that means he has to push the stroller.
Thursday:
Grocery store in the pouring rain
Destroying the house and having pillow fights in the pouring rain
Watching Thor in the pouring rain
Friday:
Princess Sadface returns
Five kids under a table.
Despite that face, the rainbow ice was delicious.
Saturday:
Home run!!
I never should have showed her how the front-facing camera works.
Restarted C25K. This time I am determined to finish.
The urgency to do as many things and have as much fun as possible before summer is over has hit. I was actually grateful for a rainy miserable day to stay home and relax (even though we ended up having friends over and totally wearing out my kids). July is almost over and August is going to FLY by and then Evan starts 5 days a week morning pre-k, which I am both totally ready and not at all ready for. They grow up so fast, etc etc, but I’m looking forward to a new stage where I have a lot more time to focus on things I love (especially photography) instead of just being Mommy.
