I hate when I forget things (but it's happening more and more often). Today was the 4th of July bike parade at R's school. I looked at the school calendar about 4 minutes before time to get in the car this morning and saw the reminder. Of course R's bike had a low tire, so I asked L if he could air it up really quickly. He found the pump and had it repaired and loaded in the back of the Tahoe right on time. So I guess I should just be glad I remembered to take his bike, but when I got to school and saw the red, white & blue streamers and fancy balloons and American flags tied to the other kids' bikes I felt so bad!
Then to make it worse, Rhett had a bike wreck and skinned up both his knees. I sent his new Diego helmet with him, but didn't send the knee & elbow pads because it seemed like a lot for him (or the teacher) to have to keep track of...dumb decision on my part!
On a different note, I'd like to give a shout-out to a friend of a friend in St. Louis....Hi, JEN MOSES...thanks for reading! :) I hope to meet you next time you're in town visiting Ali!

I have been there and done that by showing up to a "Kids Parade" w/o decorations! Thankfully, my sis had an extra statue of liberty hat laying around she let us borrow...i know, who has one of those "laying around"?
Poor Rhett! At least he has designer band-aids. If it makes you feel any better, I think my kids were always the ONLY ones who never got a special delivery at school for Valentines Day. I always felt bad that not all the kids could get something... so I didn't do it for my own. Poor boys.
Well - personally it's nice to see someone who I think is the PERFECT mother have a few days where she forgets things! ha!
Poor little Rhett- bless his heart. I bet he had a good time anyway!
Hopefully Rhett won't have to be in therapy too long for the trauma.......Har! If that's the worst mistake you make as a mother, you are still perfect in our eyes!!!
Having the neat band-aids was probably worth it!
Poor Rhett. I hope his boo boos are better! Even though his bike may not have been decorated the cutest, I bet he was the cutest little boy in the parade!

Jamie, I just read a comment on my"Grandma Judy" post that was left by Rose Mary. It was so sweet and would you thank her for me since I don't believe she has a blog that I could answer her on!
I appreciate it!
Hello Jamie!!! I am sooo excited to have made your blog - at least my name anyway!!! Obviously I was reading it and getting up-to-date with the Garner's. Can't wait to meet you the next time I am in LR. Feel free to include me anytime you want. :) Have a great Fouth of July. Oh, and thanks for entertaining me with your blog. As I say to Ali, "How does she do it."
So sorry that Rhett had his first bike wreck at school..the band-aid story cracked me up!!
Don't feel bad. I do stuff like that ALL THE TIME! I'm sorry he skinned his knees.
I see that Ali has convinced you that "Jen" really does exist. Brainwashed!
