Where to begin

A short summary of recent events and revelations:
1. Potty training fail at Michaels store - requiring a mop bucket and change of clothes.
2. Dog eats dirty diaper. Again. Dog training fail.
3. Tantrums increase 500%. Parenting fail.
4. Homemade pasta so easy a two year old can do it:

5. Petaluma is awesomest town ever - check out local Wings and Wheels Festival:

6. I can now wear real person clothes, just in time for vacation - new mom win.
7. "Being a parent is hard" ~LJR, 2010
8. In Petaluma your kid is the oddball if she wears clothes running through the sprinkler... and playing soccer in the yard... and running around in the street... and riding the tricycle... and playing in the neighbor's yard.
9. A piece of poop that goes through the dryer can be adequately removed with windex. Really.
10. Bookstores are endlessly amusing to a two year old.
11. An infant is not very amusing to a toddler.
12. My daughter more often refers to herself as Daddy, Other Daddy, Buzz Lightyear, Huckle the Cat, Lowly the Worm, Mommy Bunny, and Dinosaur than her actual name.
13. Seriously, Petaluma is cool. Why doesn't everybody live here?
14. We better see some fireflies when we're in Michigan for the next two weeks, or someone will be very disappointed.
15. I left my back door wide open for two hours today and one fly flew in, probably the only fly in Sonoma County.
16. The rest of the country is baking and it's still only 71 degrees here. Our furnace came on again last night.
17. Our kids are disproportionally cute, relative to their parents.

18. Our flights from San Francisco to Marquette could be a piece of cake or an epic fail, there is no way to predict.
