We let Little Evan play with our shock-proof video camera at the farm. Watching the video he took would make a fish seasick.

I did some garden clean-up and remembered how much I LOVE my yard.

Caroline is skeptical I will ever finish this sweater. She's right.

Playground time after Stroller Strides

I started to work through the giant pile of stuff to do on my counter. It's hard when I keep stopping to blog.

We went to E's (very very cold) hockey practice

And I ALMOST convinced Caroline the Moby is awesome

Right after this, she threw up on my clean laundry, just to show me who's boss.

Stroller Strides on the Mohegan Indian Reservation. It's a really beautiful park.

Enjoying cuddles while he's willing to give them

Since giving up Diet Coke I have been SO GRATEFUL for my Keurig

Hello! I see a baby!

Someone is still a little bitter she isn't the baby anymore.

I was really proud of my super colorful, fruit and veggie filled cart.

She thought this outfit was so ridiculous, she barfed on it after 5 minutes.

So I put her back in pajamas. But she couldn't escape the headbands!!

Baby geese at Stroller Strides!

I boiled oranges. It was for a cake. Pictures & link coming later but I can tell you it tasted about how you'd expect.

Stroller Strides at the park closest to my house! SO happy to be back there.

I put Caroline in the big kid stroller seat for the first time. She seemed to like it enough to fall asleep (thanks to the fountain noise).

Whipping cream by hand: least fun thing ever. My hand-crank beater is broken and I don't even know if anyone still sells those.

OMG ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO PUT THIS THING ON MY HEAD?

Kisses as an early Mother's Day present

We enjoyed the nice weather (p.s. I do not live here)

And walked down the block to Easter services

Caroline enjoyed her Easter dress

And I enjoyed at least 7 of these scones

Well, that's a new way to go down the slide

First swing! She looks underwhelmed.

Rushed the stupid dog to the vet because he ran in the street & got hit by a car. He's so totally fine the vet thought I was imagining things.

Want to make a 2 year old go somewhere? Tell him there are kitties. KITTY! KIIIIIIIITTYYYYYYY!!!

Someone is excited about the spring weather.

60% off baby! I should have bought the whole box.

Well, if you're that tired try sleeping later than 5:30. OKAY BABY?

Big boy reading in his big boy bed when I came to get him in the morning

The giant cart came in handy when we found the half price bunny. I put it (and the pink version) in a box for next Easter. AM GENIUS.

It's about time he earned his keep around here. I pay him in cereal.

WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SLEEPING IN?!?

Well, yes, that's sleeping. Technically.

OK, more sleeping. Except I took this at Stroller Strides so I was NOT sleeping.

Naked baby time while Mama stuffed diapers for the switch to cloth

Yes, I watched the royal wedding but only because THE BABY wanted to get up. It's not like I set my alarm or something.

OK, so I set my alarm. But how could I miss THIS?!

New best toddler distraction ever: buckets & water.

Maybe I shouldn't whine so much about the sleeping.

CEREAL. MOOOOOORE!!! MORE CEREAAAAAAAL!!!!

I had a super healthy breakfast omlet so I wouldn't feel bad about the fried seafood at lunch. It worked.

Mystic Seaport. In the words of the toddler: BOAT BOAT BOAT BOAT BOAT!

Days like this I am so happy we live in New England.

To celebrate my birthday, I went thrifting. I did not buy these.

I also did not buy these. Who donates suede fringed chaps to Goodwill?

Sometimes I leave my baby on the floor while I get ready for Stroller Strides

We hung out at the yarn store

Adorable hand-embroidered onesies from @lifeversiontwo

And sometimes I leave my baby in the laundry basket while I get ready for Stroller Strides.

All the babies in a row at Stroller Strides

We tried to have a nice picnic lunch. Until Little Evan stomped all over the sandwiches.

Playing with mommy's mascara...

...is a poor choice.

It was "time to move some of the toys up to the playroom because OMG LOOK AT THIS MESS" day

Some people don't appreciate a good vintage sweater

Stompin' in the puddles

Words I never thought I'd have to say "Stop trying to run your sister over with the dumptruck!"

"Crap, I forgot how to roll from front to back so I'm about to get really pissed that I'm stuck!"

So, should I be WORRIED my baby powder expired seven years ago?

Pretty blue buttons on a knitted gift

Playing at the most fun playground in our area

Sailing the pirate ship!

This is the super-cool old mental hospital in our town. They're FINALLY turning it into some sort of shopping center/housing development - but I'm afraid they're going to tear all the old buildings down.

Helping mama with her knitting

NOT helping mama with her knitting

"Hey, what are we going to do with all these burnt potato chips?" "I know! Let's call them 'gourmet dark' and sell them to suckers like Suzanne!"

I added some daffodils to the flowers from last weekend's party and put them in front of my laptop so this is what I see when I'm working :)

E needed new pants, so we went shopping. I'm not sure Little Evan approved.

We actually put quarters in the machine and he was OVERJOYED

We're super classy in the morning.

He wasn't so sure about Stroller Strides that day. I wasn't so sure about the way he chose to wear his hat.

More Stroller Strides aka Caroline's nap time

I sped-read my way through a book for the BlogHer Book Club

I made wise choices at dinner - zucchini with dill & vinegar, pork with Dijon mustard sauce

Wednesday was cleaning day. This one counter plus the sink took an hour to clear.

Thank God she sleeps so much or I'd never get ANYTHING done

We went to Stroller Strides but my stroller wheel broke (boo!) so we went to Target instead for some impromptu grocery shopping. DELICIOUS.

Nap time in the big boy bed. He wanted me to sit here & watch him sleep

Fourteen different places to sit in this room and he wants to climb on the toy box

Box sitting in his vintage sweater, watching some Today Show

It rained so I wore my new rain boots

Knitting at the yarn store with a little help from Caroline

Patching holes, touching up paint & hanging art in Little Evan's new big boy room

Wearing his preppy pants

I baked & froze cookies for next Saturday's party

Caroline finally woke up enough for some tummy time!
