Mommy, Look

Jet: Hey, Mom. Look at me.

Mom: Yeah, it's a big smile.

Jet: Do I look happy with a big smile? 

March Comes In Like a Lion

Mmm, not so much. Beautiful first day of March we had.

A few days later it did rain, but by the evening, it was nice again.

morning and afternoon pictures

 

The first day of March brought us Share a Smile Day. We smiled. It brought us Peanut Butter Lover's Day. People ate peanut butter sandwiches. It also brought us National Pig Day. I decided to create another version of my "Pig Island" picture from 2015. I went around singing the song as well.

 The second day of March brought us Dr. Seuss' birthday. "Do you like green eggs and ham?"

The third day of March brought us I Want You to Be Happy Day. Double Chocolate Chunk Muffins make us happy. It brought us National Cold Cuts Day. People ate ham sandwiches. It also brought us National Soup It Forward Day. I took that opportunity to try a new soup recipe, Easy Chicken Parmesan Soup, from sixsistersstuff.com and it was so yummy. Jeremy, Nichole, Jet, and I all loved it.

The fourth day of March brought us National Sons Day. I let the boys pick what we'd have for dinner so we had pepperoni pizza, BBQ chicken pizza, and Pineapple Fanta. It brought us Grammar Day. I corrected people's grammar from time to time. It also brought us National Dance the Waltz Day and National Marching Music Day. Like last year, Jet and I danced the waltz to "Stars and Stripes Forever" in 3/4 time.

 

The next day we had enough ingredients to make more pepperoni and BBQ chicken pizzas so the kids made more pizzas. Thanks, kids. 

I Want You To Be Happy

You know how some days are just off.  Sigh.  Sometimes we're just grumpy.  Yesterday, March 3, was I Want You To Be Happy Day.  Part of the day was happy, part of it was not.  Maybe it was the change in weather.

March comes in like a lion?

Oh well.
I did make Jr. Jr. happy when I let him do something he wanted to do (and he spent most of the day doing it).  He told me he had a good idea for an activity to do.  He wanted to play with penguins in the ice water again like he did on Penguin Awareness Day.  At first I told him the pan wasn't available but I was able to wash it later and he was soooooo happy about it.
This time he got to play with a bunch of toys, not just the antarctic animals.

Lucky was able to join in for a little while, too.  They were both happy.  That made me happy.

Lucky was also happy because he got to feed himself his favorite food- yogurt.

Now I'm back to being not so happy.  Sigh.  I cut my finger so it's hard to type.  Today, March 4, is National Dance the Waltz Day.  There was a little bit of dancing going on.

Last year, Jr. Jr. thought it was Dance the Wall Day.  He's so cute.

I'm going to stop typing now.  My finger hurts more.

Catch of the Day

That's one happy boy.

Green Eggs and Ham

Jeremy and Jr. went out for some one on one time today.  I knew Jeremy was planning on taking him to the dinosaur museum after they ran some errands.  I asked him if he was going to take the camera.  He said he wasn't planning on it, unless I wanted him to.  I said, "It's I Want You To Be Happy Day, so whatever makes you happy."  He didn't take the camera.  So I don't have any pictures for I Want You To Be Happy Day, March 3.

But... I do have pictures from celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday yesterday.
We had green eggs and ham, of course.  The eggs were in the form of fried eggs for some, scrambled eggs for one, and omelets for others.

Jr. read the book this year while Nichole acted it out.

I love wholesome family traditions.
