For a while on the drive down I kept exclaiming how excited I was to see the "meese," which sparked a little conversation about plurals of certain words. Goose geese. Moose moose. Mongoose mongooses. Octopus octopi or octopuses (either one is correct).

Talk Like a Pirate Day 2020
As you know, because we celebrate it practically every year, International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19. Nichole made sure we knew that it is also Hermione Granger's birthday though we didn't do any Harry Potter themed activities that day. We did talk like pirates from time to time.
We ate salmon burgers with "red stuff," carrot hooks, and drank orange juice to stave off scurvy.
Jr. drank his from a "tankard."
We also ate butterscotch pudding to celebrate Butterscotch Pudding Day. Jr. Jr. really liked that stuff.
For dessert we made banana boats since pirates sail on boats, well, ships.
After they came out of the oven, Nichole picked the only one that was upright. "It seems to be the only seaworthy one."
"Man overboard!"
Earlier in the day, one of the kids mentioned how since it was Talk Like a Pirate Day, we'd get donuts. Certain things do become traditions. We didn't this year, though. Sorry, kid.

Unicorn Headphones
When Jr. got home from school, Jeremy told him the headphones were on the computer desk. He pulled them out of the box, commenting how awesome they were. He tried them on then said, "I'm going to put these away and then go search for my old ones."
When Jr. Jr. got home, Jeremy again told him the headphones were on the computer desk. He pulled them out of the box and asked, "Is this a joke?"
Since neither of them were excited about taking them to school, we got out the other regular headphones that Jeremy bought. Now we can use the light up headphones for our computer as sometimes it's hard for people to hear what's going on with six other people all making noise. And a lot of people need to use the computer for school and work (and blogging).
