Towel Day 2014

May 25th is Towel Day.  I made sure to have a small towel in the diaper bag throughout church... just in case.  Lucky slept through most of church, but when he woke up he was happy to hold on to that towel.  Even after church, he still enjoyed holding on to it. And of course Jeremy went around mentioning that if you don't know what Towel Day is, "Don't panic."

P.S.  I didn't blog about this before but May 23rd was World Turtle Day.  Jeremy and I started watching the movie, "The Color of Magic," which is based on some Terry Pratchett books.  If you're familiar with the Discworld books, you'll know about the "world turtle" we watched in the movie.

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Google informed us that today, March 11, is Douglas Adams' birthday.  Douglas Adams wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.   

While Jeremy was out, he picked up the movie from the library and some swedish fish from the store.  For Family Home Evening activity and treat we let the kids watch the opening sequence of the movie (big musical number with dolphins) and eat some swedish fish.  Then they told us, “So long and thanks for all the fish,” and we sent them to bed.   

Well, something like that.  There may have been some dancing in there somewhere, too. 

 Then it was our turn to watch the whole movie.

March 11 is also Johnny Appleseed Day and we had certain plans that didn’t work out, but we did have apples with our dinner.
