September 9 was Wonderful Weirdos Day. We never have to put any effort into that holiday. We celebrate it by being us.
September 10 was National TV Dinner Day. I put a little more effort into that one, putting together a dinner with things you might find in a TV dinner. Crispy chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, brownies. Shout out to Jr. who baked the brownies for it.
On September 11, I took some time to reflect what happened 25 years ago. I found out that day someone I know was in the same building experiencing the same thing I did at the time the second tower was hit so we were both reflecting on similar things this year.
I also got out for a morning walk, which I hadn't done in a while.

On a brighter note, it was also Make Your Bed Day so I made pigs in a blanket.
September 12 was National Video Games Day. The kids played video games.
It was also National Chocolate Milkshake Day. Jeremy did some sketching of a chocolatey scene.
It was also Hug and High Five Day. Nichole, Jeremy, and I went to a funeral for my uncle so there were lots of hugs but not so many high fives.
You know family means so much to me, including extended family. Even if I haven't seen some of my cousins for years and we've gone in different directions, that love is always still there. We are always still family. It was also good for the three of us sisters to be there as well, representing the rest of our family.
Jeremy's sketch from that day must have been in my mind because the next day, September 13 was Roald Dahl Day and International Chocolate Day and National Peanut Day. Someone at church was wearing a purple dress. It made me think of Willy Wonka and chocolate. I pointed it out to her. Later she told me she had peanut M&Ms to celebrate.
That day was also Positive Thinking Day. There was some positive thinking going on.
It was also Grandparents Day. I wished that happy holiday to my mom and sister.
And it was Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day. I told them to make dinner. I think they maybe made pizza? I don't know. I wasn't in charge. And I didn't take pictures.
Lots of emotions that week.
