Yesterday I got a surge of motivation and sewed valances for Henry's windows (I only bought the fabric a year ago) and started sewing curtain panels for our bedroom. Meanwhile, Mike was pickling. He bought cucumbers and fresh dill from the farmer's market and pickled away. So now our basement storage room looks like cellar circa 1930, with jars of jam and pickles stacked on the shelf. What can I say, we are dorks. I've come to terms with it and accepted my dorkiness once and for all. Somebody please stage an intervention if I start sewing my own clothes.
Anyway, we also did a more modern activity yesterday - we took the kids to see the movie "Despicable Me." Henry has been begging us to see it since they run ads for it nonstop on Nickelodeon. Yesterday morning the conversation went like this:
Henry: Mom, can we see "Despicable Me?" It's the #1 movie in America!
Me: Who told you it was the #1 movie in America?
Henry: It said so on the commercial. It's also the funniest movie of the summer.
Me: Really. You know, just because the commercial says it, doesn't mean it's true.
Henry: Yes it does. (Sighs). Because commercials are NON FICTION. Like, you know SpongeBob? He's FICTION. And iCarly is FICTION. But Whale Wars and the crab show (I think he means "Deadliest Catch") and commercials are NON FICTION. (Said with emphasis and in condescending tone like I am complete idiot).
Well then. How can I argue with that? We went to the movie. And it was actually very funny. Perhaps the funniest movie of the summer after all.

Henry is so smart!
I can't believe how domestic you are!! I'm so impressed!
Hey, there's nothing wrong with canning pickles and jam. At least you won't have to go buy some for a while. Doug and I buy a lot of jam (and peanut butter) because toast has become a frequent breakfast/summer lunch choice around here! I'm anxious to try your blueberry jam sometime because I've never had blueberry jam!
Oh, and yes, I will intervene if you start sewing your own clothes. It's the 21st century. You're not sewing your clothes, dear sister.
You are too funny!
