I don't have a lot of words today.
Actually, that is a lie. I have a lot of words, but they are mostly in an unnaturally high, clinched jaw voice and start somewhere around Whyisgoingtothegrocerystorewithyoutwosodifficult and end in the AlthoughIamexcited,ImightalsohaveananxietyattackovermytriptoVAnextweek region. And no one really wants to hear about that.
So instead, here are pictures from the rest of our weekend after the birthday party.
A walk around the lake while Kev was studying on Sunday.
Trying to make dinner.
C not helping.
At least it was healthy food?

Meanwhile, here was his partner in crime. Let's see if I can stick my spaghetti to the fish tank...
Pure trouble this little one is, pure trouble.
Pure trouble this little one is, pure trouble.
There was a dance party.
And dinner did eventually get made.
I tried to capture the solar eclipse with my camera. I could see it perfectly through my lens, but the picture came out as an inverted reflection. Still pretty amazing though, yes?
Not solar eclipse glasses, but 3-D glasses that he got for his birthday. Hey, Mommy, your face is dancing! You aren't supposed to think the beer goggles are fun, Cullen.
Bennett's concentration face.
And a little afternoon pool time.
Other Happenings Not Caught on Camera:
Bathroom cleaning and laudry putting away-ing.
Waffles.
The Castroville Artichoke Festival.
Viewing of Limitless, the movie. Not great, not horrible. I was entertained.
Mass on Sunday: We are called to Love. Simple as that.

We saw Limitless in the theater. I agree. It was "eh..okay".
I'm hoping that your days leading up to your trip (and the trip itself, of course) go smoothly. I know exactly how you feel when it comes to cross-country travel anxiety...well, minus the two little troublemakers, of course :)
Lovethewayyoustartedthispost... seriously, this was so cute! Loved seeing all the pictures!
Blessings!

I love Bennett's concentration face! That kid is too much.
LOVETHISPOSTAMEN! :)
We have been in our little pool every day for the past week - it's wonderful!
Glad you had a great weekend,
Maggie
Your comment, 'but they are mostly in an unnaturally high, clinched jaw voice' made me LOL!!! Wonderful pictures! The broccoli made me think of my cat Norman... We don't feed them table food unless it's clean fish or chicken. However, sometimes if they are being pest in the kitchen I will let them sniff whatever we are cooking (usually something they won't like, for example vegetables) and then they go away. Somehow it works. ;) Anyways, Norman decided he wanted to eat broccoli? I let him have it b/c it's clean food, but very random to see a cat eat broccoli? LOL Obviously a very, very small piece. Oh and dance parties and pool time! Ummm I want to come! xoxo A-
Hi Kate!:) Love all the pictures!:) Happy reading your post about all, and you're so sweet, you never missed any special moment with your family!:) I love that!:)
More hug and kisses!:) Keep sharing!:)
I couldn't even see the eclipse because of clouds. So sad :( That dinner looks AMAZING. I love yellow squash. Your kiddos are beautiful <3
your pictures are beautiful. i am so jealous of that pasta and that you got to attend the artichoke festival. good luck getting ready for your trip!
I love that solar eclipse picture. You captured the reflection perfectly. You'll do great on your trip- I know it!
Your little guys are just way too cute :)
Dinner looks delish! Can I come over? What is that recipe? Maybe I'll "attempt"! HA!
Bennett's concentration face is too cute! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have less stress over your trip soon, too. As a fellow bicoastal traveler, I have definitely been there myself many times.
Sorry you are having one of those days! Love your great memories from the weekend!
Just let it out sista!!!! Hope tomorrow is better. On another not, cute pictures and ummm what did you fix for dinner it looks fabulous!!!!
Despite your frustrations, you take beautiful pictures! Of course, how could you not get beautiful pictures with that family?
On the plane over just ask the stewardess to watch the boys while you go to the bathroom...and then just lock yourself in there with a glass of wine!!! OK, so that won't happen. It was a good idea, anyway.
Looking forward to seeing you soon! So much to celebrate.
Love ya!
I really want a red wagon thing for the boys. Do yours love it?!
Cute Kids!!!
That dinner looks SO GOOD! Adorable pictures. Love the dance party pic!
I suck at commenting...but I stalk your blog EVERYDAY...and I get said when there isn't a new blog posted...then I get sadder when you go two days without a new post...lol. just sayin.... :-)
Awww, so many sweet pictures and memories!
Hope you get a few minutes to relax this evening. I've had a few of those days lately too!
Great pics Kate! B has the blondest hair ever what a little cutie and how adorable are they having a dance party with daddy?
I love that little red wagon you pull along behind you, I bet the boys love it!
I saw Limitless, yeah, not good.
Enjoy your day whatever you guys get up to!
And don't worry, going to the grocery store with kids, yeah, I completely understand ;)
Why are you anxious about your trip to VA? What part are you visiting? Btw, that's so cool that you saw the eclipse even if you couldn't capture it as well as you'd like.
