We celebrated "International Waffle Day" on March 25 and,
Yesterday we celebrated "National Chocolate Ice Cream Day" at Baskin Robbins.
When the cashier at the store asked how she could help us I asked,
"We're celebrating National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, are you?"
She'd never heard of it before.
Neither had I but it was fun to celebrate.
Madenlyn and I had chocolate ice cream
but Owen and Clara had vanilla and strawberry.
We look forward to celebrating these days in the near future.

(funny how many observance days center around food)
(the Oriental Trading Co. calendar has even more random days like "Thread the Needle Day" if you'd like me to email you their list leave a post)
These are some of the books we read:
(We talked about how the different colored waters tasted the same.
We are all the same on the inside. We are all children of God.)
(The kids painted the house with water, just like Kelly and Carl.)
(We measured the kids' room and drew a floor plan of it.)
At the end of the summer I learned
it “pays” to do the summer reading program.
Through our county library reading program,
my kids each received a free cookie on a stick.
I thought I would be thoughtful and buy one for my hubby.
We selected one and she rang it up…$6.50!
We bought him an undecorated chocolate chip cookie
off-the-stick instead, $1.50.
So get out there and take advantage of
your local library's Summer Reading Program!
With 50 balloons on the ceiling we played games while we listening to
We had a treasure hunt and found a sunken treasure full of lots of goodies.
Many thanks to Aunt M. and Uncle A. for
