August 27th was Banana Lovers Day. Now there is a holiday with a peel! We ate bananas. It was also Just Because Day so Jr. got away with playing video games... just because.
August 29th was More Herbs, Less Salt Day. We had fresh herb penne with chicken and tomatoes, though I used dried herbs. The children responded as expected.
August 30th was Toasted Marshmallow Day. No toasted marshmallows, but we had frozen ones- so it is almost the same thing. Rocky Road Ice Cream!
August 31st was National Trail Mix Day. I ate trail mix. No picture. My husband thinks that we should go and gather dirt from a bunch of different trails, put them in a bag, and give them to our kids. Here is your trail mix, enjoy. My husband is awesome, but we won't do that.
September 1st was Johann Pachelbel's birthday. I told Nichole to play Canon in D on her violin. She did it. First try. Without sheet music. Perhaps not yet concert ready, but very recognizable. And I guess we didn't celebrate directly with food for this one, but I was making dinner while Nichole was playing. Close enough.
September 8th was International Literacy Day. It was cloudy. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We had pancakes and juice for breakfast and Spaghetti sans meatballs (it was only a chance after all) for dinner. The kids watched the movie... and may have read the book.
September 10th is the anniversary of when the Large Hadron Collider was turned on and did not create miniature black holes killing us all. Yay! We hadn't celebrated this one before. We did this year! We made a cheeseburger ring. Then we filled the inside with coils of fries. We also explained what the collider was to the children. They understood perfectly. Well, at least they ate their dinner.
So we're getting there. We're getting caught up on blogging about how busy we've been. This worked out with telling about several things we've done in one post. We keep being busy so expect even more posts to catch up.
