Parenting
A few years ago I made the mistake of telling somebody that I had to Baby-sit Kevin for the weekend because Susan was out of town. She set me straight "When you watch your own children it's called parenting not baby-sitting". She has a point. Anyway, Susan is in Los Angeles this weekend (Wednsday through Saturday) attending a diabetes conference. Tracie was kind enough (crazy might be a better description) to take Ethan and Kevin to a family reunion in Utah today and tomorrow. Therefore I'm left alone with Jacob. Thursday though Tracie had meetings in Idaho Falls all day, so I had the three children. We had a good time. We went to Jack in the Box for hamburgers and took them to the Rexburg Nature Park for a picnic. We also brought along some old bread and crackers to feed the domestic ducks and geese. Kevin and Ethan had a blast. Jacob also had fun crawling around in the grass and dirt. However, I didn't notice notice the mosquitoes that were enjoying his tender flesh. He woke up today with several bites on his face and ear, his left ear is significantly bigger, floppier, and redder than the other. That will teach Susan to trust my parenting skills.

Poor guy. I probably would have done the samething. Go us Dads!
Alright, lesson #1 about parenting. When you make mistakes...DESTROY THE EVIDENCE!
Don't post photos of your son's assymetric head on the internet if you don't want your wife to find out.
Repeat in your best Napoleon Dynamite voice three times...
*IDIOT!*
Darren, I think you are ready for a 4th child.
Wednesday is spelled this way! Oh, I'll bet you had a blast anyway! I know Kevin and Ethan did at the family reunion.
I think Crazy is the right word. But I owe it to you.
Michael Slade, your comments crack me up.
just tell your wife you dropped him on his head
