Get Out of the Dog House Day

On Sunday, July 17, one of my children kept asking for ice cream over and over and I kept saying no. Had I looked at the calendar, I would have said yes because July 17 was National Ice Cream Day.

Well, the next day was National Get Out of the Dog House Day so I made sure to let the children have ice cream and redeemed myself. Phew.

July 18 was also National Sour Candy Day and we did celebrate that on the right day.

It was also Ocean Day in Japan so we started watching DisneyNature Oceans.

I gave my children lots of hugs that day as well for Global Hug Your Kids Day.

Family Home Evening- Monkey Kingdom

One thing we love doing as a family is watching the DisneyNature movies and having themed food to go with them.  We've even made nests out of blankets while watching one about chimpanzees.
For Family Home Evening tonight we watched DisneyNature's Monkey Kingdom.  We had some leftover boxes from all the balloons we were ordering this Summer so Jeremy put some on PVC frames and added some balloon vines to make ruins because the monkeys in the movie lived around ruins.  Yes, my husband is awesome.

It was good family time.  We also ate salad with nuts and seeds and fruit and some other toppings while we watched the movie.  We had gummy worms for dessert and Family Home Evening treat.

Traditions are great.  As long as DisneyNature keeps coming out with these movies that we can enjoy as a family, we will keep having themed family nights like this to celebrate.

We even got pictures acting like monkeys.  We have fun.
Happy happy family time.
