When April acts like December.

April, let's be honest for a moment. I kind of hate you. You are super cold and windy and why must you insist on snowing?

The poor weather and Jake's busy-ness with track has started to make this mama go a little bit stir crazy. So when you have already visited the grocery store, Shopko and Family Dollar multiple times, just what do you do?
You stop doing the dishes and instead make the dependent earn his keep.
You start to play the risky game: Can the toddler put the lens cap on Daddy's expensive camera?

You read and you read and you read. While this book was about trucks, Henry's very favorite book is currently America's Patriotic Primer. Oh yes, it is.
You pretend your son is a daughter.
You have the wee one inspect all the light switches just to make sure they are still working.
You make chubby hands work on fine motor skills..he's putting cheerios on a spaghetti noodle that's stuck in playdough.
You paint in the tub, of course.
You listen to "Froggy Went A Courtin' 72 times.
