Latergrams: July - August 2016

This month is all about sharing his opinions (loudly) and doing everything he can to get where he wants to go! #armycrawler #squirmy #bigboy#archerbythemonth #archergriffin


Parade? That's what we do everywhere we go.  #fourboys #mylifeisaparade #happyfourthofjuly🇺🇸


So much fun reconnecting with the Halls, who are staying here as part of an epic road trip. We love them and miss them here in Chicago!


Oh, now we're in trouble!#notreadyforthis #stairs #growingtoofast


Swim class for the big boys includes 20 mins free time at the end if a parent is in the water. So this guy gets to come along and get his swim time too! It's basically snuggle time for us while we keep an eye on the big boys. ❤️


Two weeks of YWCA swimming during our short window between naps. The boys are loving their lessons and have all improved bunches! I think the 40-minute lesson plus 20-minute free time is perfect!


The face of trouble.#crawlingmonster


I wonder what it is really for.#unnecessaryquotationmarks#couldbeanythingreally


Mixed feelings. #growingup#elevenmonths #teething#transitiontobigboy #archerbythemonth


We showed up at Little Kickers open gym time and discovered we had the place to ourselves! We need friends to come with us next week. Anyone interested? #free #indoorsoccer#andinflatables #leagueoflittles


Words to live by. #oneonone #thecandymancan


At the Da Vinci Machines exhibit. Da Vinci must be the greatest genius of all time. A few of his inventions: helicopter, tank, robot, parachute, glider, backhoe, life preserver, portable bridge, scuba dive mask regulator, and on and on. 550 years ago he sketched this bicycle with a chain. When the drawing was discovered a few decades ago, everyone thought it was a hoax because it looks exactly like the bikes we ride today. Not a hoax. Just pure genius. #artist #inventor #fortuneteller #oneonone


Okay, Olympics, you are really cool. But you need to be over now so my boys can get to bed at a reasonable hour. Starting school next week is going to be a MAJOR shock to our system. 😳🙀😩


Recently boycotted the bathtub, but the dishwasher is his new fave. Maybe somehow he'll get clean by throwing dishes on the floor? #archie #growingup


One-track mind, just like his brothers. #pokemoncrazy #sillyboys


One of these faces is not like the others. 😥 My heart is breaking for this boy who thinks kindergarten is the scariest thing that could ever happen. He has been up at night all week with fears and tears, begging not to go. Send extra prayers and tips our way please! #firstdayofschool#rainymorning


Dishes, baby, crumbs, crockpot, and sunlight. Things got pretty quiet around here for a few hours today. Which was awesome. #archieandme #momlife


Consensus: not quite as bad as his deepest, darkest fears indicated it would be. He even smiled and told me his favorite part. I think he might live through this! #kindergarten #samo


Yesterday when I found a ladybug shell in the back of Archie's mouth, I thought it was a pretty good sign that I am a good/vigilant mom. Then today when I found this Lego head in his poop, I knew for sure. 👍🏼 😳 #fourthboy #topnotchsupervision #legohouse

I think about that lego head several times every day. I liked your #mylifeisparadise. I feel that was several times MOST days too.

Sam's little face before kindergarten still breaks my heart. I hope he's doing okay now!
