Outing to the grocery store. Went again. Maybe one more time. Went out for pizza. Visit to the local toy store. Got smoothies. Had play dates. Ate ice cream. Read books. Naked flashlight dancing after dinner (just girls, not Rick and me). Painted pictures. Ate snacks. Ate more snacks. Puzzled as to why no one is hungry at dinner time. Played Candyland. Told Dylan for the 157th time to stop cheating at Candyland. Picked up toys. Picked up toys again. And yet again.

so peaceful! looks like u need a vacation from your vacation!
I just want to point out that while it may read “wear tiaras,” I only see one princess with a tiara on. Just saying. Enjoy your post-vacation rest : )
Careful with that tiaras, you wouldn’t want to roll off the chair and break it would you now?!
Royalty becomes you. But that first picture is my favorite.
I love how you’re the only one in a tiara ( :
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Especially when she also has on finger puppets.
I thought the naked flashlight dance was an adult only thing?
No one could look as cute as you in that tiara!! You are quite the Super Mom! All that with two little ones cooking in you?! AMAZING!
Rest well!
This is exactly what I was thinking as I was packing snack bags this morning…did all fun and entertaining activities for them all week. Check check check!
but you got great pictures for the photo book so it was all worth it right? well..sorta worth it? :-}
Yeah. I always need a vacation from a vacation.
(And I think I have the “same” picture from the same aquarium.)
A perfect reminder of that stage! And just think…the twins will want to see all those amazing things too!!! Forget ice skates and get ready to strap on the roller blades!!!! xxx franny
Sounds like you a need a vacation from that vacation. Love the photos, especially that last one! One tired momma-to-be!
I’m exhausted just reading that, but it’s a typical week in my house! LOL
Even asleep you can still rock a tiara.
Did you wear the tiara all week?
Sounds like a great vacation…for the girls.
Hahaha! Love it! Naked flashlight dancing! And, cheating at candyland? Is it the fantasy of somehow getting extra, virtual candy at the end?? Sounds like a fun=exhausting vacation! Hope ya got some zzzzzzzz’s…
I don’t know how you do it! When I was pregnant with my twins all I wanted to do was sleep. I think I took at least one nap a day. You go mama.
I always end up needed a vacation from my vacation when I get back from vacation. LOL
What is with preschoolers refusing to remove their parkas.
I’m tired just reading it. And I’m not carrying growing humans inside my body.
But you definitely rock the tiarra!
Well, obviously I haven’t been reading close enough…I completely missed the post about the “important stuff.” I had to go back. Congratulations on the pregnancy with twins!! Awesome news even if a little belated on my part.
I want that tiara…and based on the comment above me, looks like I have some reading to catch up on – twins??? Really? Congrats!
Phew! We just had a vacation week like that too. I was pretty happy to go back to work today. I hope you’re recovering!
yesss, because naked flashlight dancing is how you and rick keep growing your family, I’m sure…
thank god you said “week” because if you had said “day” I’m not sure you and I could still be friends. Rest up, momma, 35 days will fly by.
Clearly Summer was traumatized by the “great jacket heist” earlier this year. Smart girl – definitely the same kind of seedy folks at the children’s museum will be at Ellen watermellon too!
I think vacationing with kiddos is exhausting:O I try to take mine without the little ones;)
