My Week(84) in iPhone Photos

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Sorry, too busy making more ice cream to write a proper intro. Isn’t that what you do at 8 am?

Sunday:

You want me to share my Goldfish? I'm not so sure.

Pie crust helper

Mini-vacation aka Solo grocery shopping

Monday:

One of my favorite old houses on our walk to the library

Concentrating gingers

It's a ghost! Oh, wait, no. It's just a miserable screaming baby I threw a blanket over.

Tuesday:

Crap.

Daaaaaawwwwww

Spice rub for my salmon with mango salsa

Wednesday:

5 am. Thank God for iPhones.

Crouching baby, hidden hobo

I'm melting! I'm meeeeeelting!!!!

Thursday:

The patio furniture display at Target is almost as good as a real playground

Happy it's nap time

Business lady off to do important business

Friday:

Stroller Strides drill instructor - PUSH IT! I WANNA SEE YOU SWEAT!

Feeding the quack quacks

Beluga watching

Saturday:

If you call garage sales "treasure hunting" your pirate loving children will do it for HOURS

So much furniture to refinish, so little time. And motivation.

Big girl bed. Exactly what I wanted to get her (eventually) and $30 at a yard sale. She slept in it last night with zero issues.

Today is warm and sunny and tomorrow is supposed to be warm and sunny and Tuesday is supposed to be warm and sunny so we’re going to be outside outside outside. I’ve got some recipe posts and some sponsored posts planned for the blog, so apologies if those aren’t your thing, but I promise to fill in the empty days with lots of ginger baby adventures.

For a “short” week, this week felt insanely long.

Sunday:

Yes, flea market vendor, that insanely creep disembodied head DEFINITELY makes me want to buy that hat.

Spiked milkshakes are the best invention since regular milkshakes

Playing poker at home is much less expensive.

Monday:

Spying on the neighbors

No pictures during breakfast, Mommy.

She totally thinks she can read

Tuesday:

Yes, that looks safe.

I think Caroline totally looks like Sal

So far, I like it.

Wednesday:

They think this is the world's widest balance beam

They think this is the world's widest balance beam

The Very Tired Three Year Old

Jumping off the couch into a pile of pillows is all fun until someone cracks their head open

Thursday:

Matching ginger swings

Mommy truth: Nothing makes shopping easier than two kids sitting nicely in a single cart.

Caroline, Queen of the Nile

Friday:

Stroller ride: Yur doin it rong

Practicing boating safety, even on the pretend boat in the seaport

Walking through the past with friends

Saturday:

Rainy morning relaxing

This is how adventures (or nightmares) start

Reading one of our garage sale finds

Today’s weather was terrible but tomorrow is supposed to be much better so I’m hoping to still squeeze in some weekend fun – or at least a little grilling on the patio. Now I’ve got to go let Jillian kick my butt for 20 minutes to make up for the delicious post-cheeseburger frosty I just inhaled.

Hi, can’t talk, must get back to eating and drinking ALL THE THINGS.

Sunday:

Hockey day!

Subway = mom of the century

This is my "crazy person carrying home two giant bags of plants my neighbor gave me" face

Monday:

She couldn't make up her mind on this hat - but the giant Dora face on the other side ended up making it a NO.

Christmas socks in May. Don't judge me.

We were outside. It started pouring. I made her come inside. This happened.

Tuesday:

Evan said "Let's buy this flowers for Daddy!" It was adorable, but the flowers cost $9.99, so, no.

Posing

LOUD NOISES

Wednesday:

Gymnastics? Gymnastics!!

Anyone tells my kid not to wear the pink fairy wings and they get a face full of my FIST.

Evan built a fort, complete with "outer space rocket"

Thursday:

More push-ups Mommy! More push-ups!

Tiny daredevil demands to be pushed higher

Reading herself to sleep

Friday:

Waiting for the train

Horsey does not look amused

Smores Face

Ready for fun in her new car seat

Adorable red-heads sharing a soft serve

Driving a fire truck was ALMOST the highlight of his night...

...until this happened. (He's the tiny, blurry speck 15 feet in the air)

One of my BFF’s (Wedding Erin, if that means anything to some of you) is visiting for the long weekend and we’re attempting to fit as much fun as possible into 4 days. So far we’ve been extremely successful.

I picked the funniest photos as an apology for not getting this up sooner. My only excuse is I was busy watching all 24 episodes in season 8 of Grey’s Anatomy this weekend. I somehow forgot to watch all year until Twitter BLEW UP during the finale. Now all I can say is WHAT THE HELL, GREY’S?

Sunday:

Family hockey practice - I'm sitting in a chair drinking coffee, obviously

SHUT UP AND GET IN MY FACE, CAKE.

Obviously really excited about the twinkle lights

Monday:

I cut Evan's beautiful hair without crying.

Apparently a haircut was all he needed to be a BIG KID

Raise your hand if you're the cutest person here!

Tuesday:

Stroller Strides stretching!

Mini Gene Kelly

We had a really rough afternoon, so as long as they weren't crying I let them do whatever they wanted.

Wednesday:

See? I left the giant pile of clean laundry there ON PURPOSE so my kid could use the iPad in comfort. WISE CHOICES.

That blur is one really happy gymnast

I don't even have a caption for this face

Tiny baby reading a tiny book = GIANT SWOON

Thursday:

The narrator on this dinosaur app reads like he's doing the trailer for a Michael Bay movie.

WHEEEEEE!

I look way less cute when I nap on my face

Judge all you want, this pizza is DELICIOUS. I'm going to judge you for NOT eating it.

Friday:

And now he's 80 years old.

Mommy, the porch is my favorite.

Finally the kids are up someone else's butt.

Saturday:

Barking at the sea-lion

Back off you crazy lady, leave us the duck alone!

Being three is awesome.

And now I am going to collapse in bed knowing my mother has an update on her grandchildren and I’ve ruined Evan’s chance of ever getting a date with that rainboot/underwear pictures. Another super busy week coming up with a bonus holiday weekend at the end of it!

My Week(80) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

Despite the fact that it rained – a lot, or at least it felt like a lot – this week, we certainly made it out of the house every day. Which is why I just ate a giant ice cream sundae to celebrate surviving.

Sunday:

Tiny hockey player

I cleaned Caroline's room. It lasted 45 seconds, until Evan found the puzzles.

What, you don't plan your garden while watching Game of Thrones?

Monday:

We borrowed this stroller from a friend and Caroline is in LOVE with it. If anyone knows where I can get one, please let me know.

Playdate lunch - mac'n'cheese and watermelon

WHOA, WHAT IS THIS?? (Answer: soft serve from Sea Swirl)

Tuesday:

A rare moment of peace in a shared cart

He used his magic ginger powers on me. Kid is unstoppable.

Evening self portrait

 Wednesday:

Oh looks, it's raining! Wet!

I've put this damn floor puzzle together every day this week.

Sure. Whatever. Just get out of my house.

Thursday:

POOR CHOICES CAROLINE

Form a line, please! I'm in the front!

Giant bubbles are fun

Friday:

E wore his fancy clothes for a boat thing - I lay in bed.

Beautiful day for Stroller Strides

Caroline learned to say "quack quack". It's the cutest thing ever.

Saturday:

For Mother's Day, I bought myself flowers that will last a lot longer than a bouquet

Caroline was unimpressed by the dinosaur tracks.

It would have been cooler with a voiceover that said "WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH!!!"

Despite getting to sleep in Saturday, it was a REALLY long day so as soon as I finish typing this post I’m going to bed. I dragged my very patient husband off to meet my internet friend Kim – who was just as awesome in real life as she’s been online for the past 3 years. The boys had an amazing time running (away) together and Evan cried all the way home because he didn’t want to leave his fwiends. It was adorable. And also exhausting. Sunday is more hockey, more gardening and my first attempt at making artichokes for dinner. Happy Mother’s Day!
