Storytime before nap(Ford has inherited his father's gift of blinking and looking drunk when his picture is taken.)
Did you know that green onions will regenerate their greens if you put the white part in a glass of water? How did I get to be this old and not know that? You can have green onions anytime.

I watched a good documentary last night called Crazy Love.
If you like stories about bizarre people as much as I do, you will be enthralled. You can watch it instantly on Netflix if you haven't seen it.

I have a little portable fan on a shelf in Ford's room. It makes good noise and helps keep the sweltering temperature of my house in the summer down to a managable 77 degrees in his room. I went to change his diaper today, and as I was doing so, out of nowhere - it fell on his face. I am still in shock. It was awful. He only cried about 30 - 45 seconds, but his little eyebrow was swelling up and he refused my ice pak. My 6 month old could potentially have a black eye. The fan will never go on that shelf again.

Prepping for the neighborhood Pre - Fourth of July bicycle/wagon/tricycle parade tonight. Sheesh I suck at this stuff. I just remembered this morning about it. Now we need to decorate our tricycle, make some cookies, and pack a picnic dinner. I just looked up 4th of July crafts on the Family Fun website. I don't want to do any of that stuff. I am the worst stay at home mom ever.
Frank says that he didn't have a very good day today at school. There was a blow up moonwalk in the gym. He says he got in it, but only jumped one time, and then sat down the rest of the time. He says he doesn't like jumping in those "bouncy houses" but he didn't get out because he couldn't, and the teacher didn't know he wanted to get out. He said, "Helena said that I was being rude to her", but he says, "I wasn't really being rude to her, I was just pretending to be rude to her. I was pretending I was a whale shark (meaning killer whale) and she didn't want me to eat her. Everybody was also chasing me and Jakob, and Hayden was chasing me and I ran to the wall and then I fell down. It was a not very good day."

I refuse to allow you to call yourself the worst stay at home mom ever, I think quite the contrary. I love how intentional and thoughtful you are about being a Mom instead of just doing it every day! You rock!
