My Idiot Mom in Flames!

My Idiot Mom and I watched the fire department burn down this old house in the town we live.  We have a fire pit on our patio I get to help burn stuff in too.  My Idiot Mom plays Adele's 21 in our car and "Set Fire to the Rain" is my favorite song!  I love My Idiot Mom for introducing me to fire!

Worms on our Table?

A bit of a start this morning for My Idiot Mom when she noticed dead worms on our kitchen table.  She hadn't had her coffee yet or she would have seen sooner that it was last night's that spaghetti dried on the table overnight because she forgot to wipe off the table after dinner.  Phew.  (Secretly, I hope it's worms next time.)  I love My Idiot Mom.

Mom! Look What I've Found!

Turns out, this was an indigo bunting bird that I found and rode my bike one-handed to be able to carry it home!  My Idiot Mom was really surprised, but glad I didn't have a huge spider or something dead in my hands instead!  We put him inside an aquarium to rest and about a half hour later he woke up and flew away, thanks to Mom's care and mine!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Zombie Mom

My Idiot Mom has a fondness for Zombies.  She really does look like the one in the middle there on the back of her car.  The other car is one we were behind in Oklahoma where Grammie and Papa live (I guess they really have an outbreak of Zombies out there - maybe My Idiot Mom is thinking about moving there and becoming a Zombie Hunter herself.  That explains why she acts like a brain dead one from time to time with me.)  I love My Idiot Mom!

Just in Time For New School Clothes this Fall

I can't fit my head through anymore!  Time for My Idiot Mom to take me clothes shopping.  Hope she does before school starts in a few weeks!  I love My Idiot Mom!

Learning New Words With My Idiot Mom

Uh, oh.  Looks like My Idiot Mom thought I would only learn about airplane history at a recent visit to the USAF Museum, but I got to learn a really cool, new word too!  My Idiot Mom seemed a bit surprised when I asked her what the word after "Strawberry" was and asked why someone would name their plane that.  She mumbled something about a girl dog and pushed me ahead towards the next plane.  Neat.  What a great learning day for the both of us!  I love My Idiot Mom!

New Time Out Zone

Looks like My Idiot Mom has come up with a new place for Time Outs, which I seem to be in more and more during this summer vacation!  At least I get to spend this one with my best pal, Gerty!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom's New Best Friend...

...and it looks like it was named after her too!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom's Hamster Boy

My Idiot Mom had a hamster named Miss Kate (after the evil leading lady in John Steinbeck's East of Eden) growing up.  She enjoyed watching Miss Kate exercising in her plastic hamster ball so much she thought she'd give me the same experience.  My Idiot Mom is so thoughtful.  I just love her so much!

My Idiot Dog

My Idiot Mom isn't the only one in my family missing the mark on easy targets.  Here's My Idiot Dog thinking she can fit through the cat door.  I love My Idiot Family.

My Idiot Mom and Fingerless Socks

I guess My Idiot Mom thought the tiny hole in my sock today wouldn't be a problem.  Little did she know I would create my own version of fingerless gloves for my feet!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom & South Park

My Idiot Dad went to Afghanistan for work for 5 month & sent me this funny t-shirt.  My Idiot Mom dressed me in it for school under a sweatshirt thinking no one would see.  She didn't bet on me getting hot & taking off my sweatshirt in day care after! When she picked me up, she discovered "Mr. Rodney" my after-school teacher turned my t-shirt inside out! I love My Idiot Mom!
