Daddy: Best part of my day was getting to snuggle with Mama and going to Tensuke. And that was the best part of my day!
Jamie: Best part of my day was playing Chase (from Paw Patrol) and that was the best part of my day! Being Chase.
Bella: Best part of my day was snuggling with Jamie, helping him lay out his outfit for tomorrow. Going to Tensuke and getting my Ramune. Watching "Antiques Roadshow". Getting my bean cake and when I had my rice cake and my gummy. Pretty much my whole day was the best part of my day!
Mama: Best part of my day was that Daddy's first day of work was pushed back. Having that amazing salad at Tensuke. Having a nice, low-key Monday. And that was the best part of my day!

Best Part of Our Day - Saturday, July 29
Bella: Best part of my day was pizza, "The Blind Side", trying on a lipstick at MAC, jumping on the trampoline, getting a lemonade and a sip of Jamie's chocolate milk, and pretty much my whole day. And that was the best part of my day.
Jamie: Best part of my day was when I got my new chocolate milk which was sweet and so good. When I tried Bella's lemonade - which was so yuck - and then when I didn't steal Daddy's food. And that was the best part of my day.
Daddy: The best part of my day today was talking with Mama about the new business, and snuggling with Mama this morning was WONDERFUL (yes, it was!). Having pizza is always an awesome part of my day, and spending time with the family. And that was the best part of my day.
Mama: Best part of my day was snuggling with Daddy and getting started working on the business. Getting our grocery shopping done. Finding out that Uncle Austin wants me to cut off his long hippie hair, which I can call it long hippie hair because I'm his elder. Being able to relax this afternoon instead of having to work on school. And getting more canning jars so that we can make applesauce. And that was the best part of my day!

Best Part of Our Day - Friday, July 28
Jamie: Best part of my day was jumping on the trampoline and bouncing so high, and running in a circle. Getting my hair shaved and showing Daddy and Bella my haircut, and that was the best part of my day!
Bella: Best part of my day was jumping on the trampoline, when Jamie got his hair cut, getting my shower, doing my job as the Cricket Guard, and having tea this afternoon. And that was the best part of my day!
Daddy: Best part of my day was when I GOT MY JOB!!! And getting to talk to Mama for a while and helping her feel better, and beating this level at Candy Crush! What else did we do today...oh! Playing cooking with the kids. Yeah, getting my job was ultimately the best part of my day!
Mama: Best part of my day was when Daddy got his new job, wooohoooooooo!!! I am SO PROUD of him! Watching the kids jumping on the trampoline. Zeus didn't eat Daddy's spaghetti. The spaghetti sauce jar I dropped was empty, and not full, and no one got cut. And we had a nice, cool breeze this evening. Cutting Daddy's and Jamie's hair. And those were the best parts of my day!
Daddy: Oh, and getting my hair cut!
Bella: Oh, and seeing Daddy's and Jamie's haircuts!
---------
I said "Cricket, stop it now!", or Why Bella is the Cricket Guard
Mama: There is a cricket in the house. Not by choice, mind you, but by chance. We have hunted and looked and moved things and done what we can to find the noisy little bugger to be able to set him free, but to no avail. For two entire days. It has whirred almost non-stop. For TWO. Whole. Days.
Normally, crickets don't bother me. I'm not a fan by any means, but that's only because one fell on my head once a long, log time ago while I was in the bathroom. Although The Cricket Incident occurred long ago and far away, I haven't ever gotten over it. The fact that I'm now sharing a roof with the noisy little runt has just about made me crazy. The combination of this species of cricket's particular pitch and the volume of the nearly-continuous thrum absolutely grates on my nerves. If it was the pleasant chirp-chirp-chirp that sets in during the late summer, it wouldn't annoy me nearly as much. Instead, this is a sustained, ceaseless din.
Eventually, if nothing else, the cricket will die and we'll go back to peace and quiet inside the house. But for now, Bella is the Cricket Guard and has the job of going to the kitchen and slamming cupboard doors a few times until it stops. Thank you, Bella, for your service! Mama loves you!!

Best Part of Our Day - Thursday, July 27
Jamie: Best part of my day was going to McDonald's and having dinner. And when I snuggled Zeus. And that was the best part of my day!
Daddy: The best part of my day was hanging out with Mama this morning and having vegetable-fruit (play) soup with the kids all morning with lemons and jalapenos. Watching "Descendants 2" again and going to Tensuke the long, long, long, long, long way around. And frying up latkes for lunch!
Bella: Best part of my day was feeding the turtle, when me and Jamie played "Descendants 2". Dinner was awesome. And that was the best part of my day! Oh, and latkes.
Mama: Best part of my day was being one day closer to the weekend, and that we worked on getting the kitchen ready for canning this weekend. And keeping in mind, that no matter what, it's all gonna be ok! And that was the best part of my day!

Why there's no post from Wednesday, July 26
Mama: Best part of our day was that we went out to Grandma and Papa's house and helped with chores! Grandma wasn't feeling well and Papa had a bunch of yardwork to do, so we went out to the Old Homestead to pitch in. Daddy helped Papa move plants and plant plants and mulch and lots of other stuff, and the kids got to have a ride around the yard in the trailer! I was amazed at how much fun they had!
Unfortunately, the big storm last week blew down one of their apple trees, but it turned out that it had a lot of beautiful green apples on it! Daddy and I picked all of the apples off and ended up with a huge box, and we're going to turn it into applesauce this weekend and can it up. Bella and Jamie babysat the baby while we did that, and they did an excellent job. We were very impressed!
We had spaghetti for dinner and then sat around talking afterwards, until we realized it was almost 10 o'clock! We rounded the kids up and by the time we got home and got them into bed, it was going on 11:30. Holy bananas! Even though it was a really late night, it turned out to be a fantastic day overall. And that was the best part of our day!

Best Part of Our Day - Tuesday, July 25
Daddy: Best part of my day was Bella helping me weed the front flower bed so well and when she ran the lawnmower for a little bit. Listening to Mama call the people and talk to them. I had a great wake-up. Cutting the grass and saying out-loud when I got outside that today was the perfect summer day. Also, that I didn't lose my ring and didn't cut a hole in Gertrude's seat. And that was the best part of my day!
Jamie: Best part of my day was when I was in my room sleeping and having dinner, having breakfast, and getting up this morning and when I needed a nap and got up and had breakfast and having a Popsicle for dessert and going out to the trampoline and that was the best part of my day!
Mama: Best part of my day was killing the squash bugs and picking the giant pickle...well, cucumber, and the ENORMOUS zucchini, getting lots of work done and cheering for the kids while they were singing. When Daddy chased the dog and giving the neighbors potatoes and onions. And that was the best part of my day!
Bella: Best part of my day was dinner was AWESOME. I just chowed it down like I was an eating machine. You could have just shoved a whole plate of food in my mouth and I would have just chowed it down. When I had two whole cups of water. Breakfast was AWESOME. Helping Daddy weed the front flower bed. Riding Jamie's bikes. Feeding the worms to Nessie (the turtle), when I found those two big fat earthworms and putting them in the worm farm, and putting the moth caterpillar to Nessie. And those were the best parts of my day! And I loved my day! It was so fun! Oh, and when me and Daddy made dinner.
Mama: Oh, I forgot! Best part of my day was also when Daddy and Bella made dinner, and both kids DEVOURED their meals, and that they gave such nice compliments about the food.

Jamie: Best part of my day was when we had pancakes for dinner, and going outside to the trampoline that was so bouncy and bouncy and bouncy! And that was the best part of my day!
Daddy: Best part of my day was waking up with Mama again, watching "Home and Family", when Mama made me lunch (tuna salad on toast), working in the garden - kind of a "duh" moment there... That was really the best part of my day: working in the garden! I know there was more, but I can't remember which is why I like to go last. And that was the best part of my day!
Bella: Best part of my day was weeding the garden, finding more potatoes in the garden (she dug them up herself!) that I get to keep! Dinner was AMAZING! I just loved it! This morning when we watched "Descendants 2" again and "Home and Family" and lunch and breakfast! And that was the best part of my day!

Best Part of Our Day - Sunday, July 23
Daddy: Sleeping in, watching "Top Gear", getting to wear my new clothes out, going to the store, and eating mashed potatoes with potatoes right out of the garden. And that was the best part of my day!
Bella: "Top Gear" was AWESOME! The race was...it was wiped out! I was like, "What happened?!?" When I helped dig up potatoes. Playing in the rain on the trampoline. When Daddy wore his new clothes out. Getting the tomato cages from Grammie's house. When I got to feed Grammie's bunny rabbit the carrot (from right out of *her* garden!). When I made the hamburger sauce and Mama helped me to finish it off. And that was the best part of my day!
Jamie: Best part of my day was dinner, and jumping in the rain and when the rain was going faster and the trampoline was like a belly bumper bouncer, like this *jumps*. When I saw the seagulls. And that was the best part of my day!
Mama: Best part of my day was hanging out this morning with Daddy, Bella cleaning her room, the hilarious time lapse video of Bella cleaning her room and watching it over and over as a family. Bella and Daddy digging up the potatoes and Bella using the digging fork and shovel so well. Bella and Jamie pulling up all of the onions and setting them out to dry. And everyone having tea this afternoon and Jamie having a sleepover in Bella's room this time! And those were the best parts of my day!
45 onions from our garden!!

Best Part of Our Day - Thursday, July 20
Daddy: Best part of my day was picking Mama up early and taking her to the Doctor for her leg. We did have a few awesome parts...I remember laughing a few times... What else did we do today? *pondering noises* When Bella helped me trim and replant the Purple Lady (the giant purple heart/wandering Jew potted plant). When the kids were doing their crazy Jim Chuck bellydance. And those were the best parts of my day! Oh! And finding out that Mama can work from home.
Bella: Best part of my day was watching "Last Man Standing". Dinner was amazing. Getting my shower and getting clean. When me and Jamie did our bellydance and danced with the piano music. Learning how to ride a bike and balancing without Daddy holding on...that was awesome! Helping Daddy trim the Purple Lady. Lunch was AMAZING and listening to clean-up music! And when it was Christmas in July and we watched "Home and Family" on Hallmark Channel.
Jamie: Best part of my day was when Mama came home and picking up Mama and having dinner was AWESOME! Watching "Last Man Standing" and dinner was totally, TOTALLY awesome and I had a glass glass with water, and that was the best part of my day!
Mama: Best part of my day was finding out that my leg probably won't need surgery and that it'll probably only take a few weeks to heal up. Hanging out with everybody and playing "I Spy" at the Doctor's office. Being able to surprise the kids with oranges at the Doctor. The kids' awesome dance moves. And singing the Bad Lip Reading songs. And those were the best parts of my day!
