Early November Holidays (with and without pictures)

I am thankful we can celebrate even if we don't get pictures.

November 2 was Plan Your Epitaph Day. I said several times during the day things like, "Here lies Jr. Jr. He wouldn't go to bed when his mom told him to."

November 3 was Sandwich Day. I told everyone to feed themselves sandwiches. I also quoted Lilo & Stitch.

November 4 was King Tut Day. Kids watched Batman: the Animated Series. Nichole and I had a discussion about the old Adam West series with King Tut as one of the villains.

November 5 was Stress Awareness Day. I was aware of stress. I took a picture of me aware of stress.

November 6 was Men Make Dinner Day. Jeremy took time the day before to make lecso (Hungarian food). It's good reheated. I enjoyed it for dinner on the holiday.

Sandwiches and Mummies

November 3 was Sandwich Day. Sometimes I will give Jet a sandwich on one piece of bread folded over. Sometimes I will give him a sandwich on two pieces of bread. On Sandwich Day, I gave him a sandwich on two pieces of bread which he told me should be folded over. So he folded it over and ate it like that. Tee Hee. 

 

November 4 was King Tut Day. I thought it was appropriate to make a pizza mummy. I made one in October and that one had eyes but the dough raised in such a way that it was like the mummy was lying with its head back. I didn't bother to put eyes on the King Tut mummy. 

November 5 was Guy Fawkes Day. I explained Guy Fawkes to a couple of my kids. I didn't burn anything, though, not even dinner. Ha Ha. 

Dinner was supposed to be Quick and Tasty Lettuce Wraps with Coconut Rice from A Season of Family Meal Plans, volume 4 (by Jordan Page), but because of shelf cooking, I made them into bowls instead, using regular rice, baby spinach (instead of making wraps), but I did put the filling on top of the rice and spinach and since I keep coconut in the freezer, I sprinkled some of that on top of everything.

November 6 was Stress Awareness Day. Several of us were very aware of stress that day.

It was also Nacho Day but apparently I didn't get any nacho pictures. I must have been too stressed.

November 7 was Men Make Dinner Day. Lucky made Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps, Jr. Jr. made braided rolls, and Jr. made Kool-aid. I went to sleep and missed dinner. I wasn't adjusting to Daylight Savings ending very well. I had my food for breakfast the next morning.

Celebrating with Food

November 2 was National Deviled Egg Day.

November 3 was Sandwich Day. We had sandwiches- whatever kind people wanted. Tuna, peanut butter, grilled cheese, whatever. Throughout the day, I repeated certain lines from Lilo and Stitch.

November 4 was King Tut Day. We made a pizza mummy. It was also National Candy Day. Yes, candy was eaten.

November 5 was Men Make Dinner Day. They did. There was dough left from the mummy braid from the day before so Jeremy made two pizzas and Jr. made orange rolls. Jr. Jr. and Lucky contributed with a couple things, too.

November 6 was Nachos Day.

 

Library Time

It's been a while since we've all had a chance to go to the library together. Usually, I get a list of books from the kids (or make my own list for them) and go while they're at school.
Jr. recently had some research to do, so we decided a trip to the library would be nice for the whole family. Jeremy helped Jr. find his research items, Nichole went looking for some books herself, Jr. Jr. spent a long time reading a book on his own, and Lucky had me read several books to him.

Then Jr. Jr. and Lucky spent some time playing before we headed home.

It was nice to get out and do that again.
One funny thing was we went on November 2, Plan Your Epitaph Day. Nichole made one up for the occasion. "The Telford Kids. They read too much." Well... our kids would happily skip meals and everything else in order to spend time with books, so...

Speaking of holidays... since I don't have pictures, I'll mention some other early November holidays we regarded in our home.
November 3 was Sandwich Day. The kids used up too much pepperoni making themselves pepperoni sandwiches.
November 4 was King Tut Day. We went around singing, "Walk Like an Egyptian," and doing the walk. Nichole also talked about how King Tut died.
November 5 was Guy Fawkes Day. We didn't have a bonfire or do fireworks but one of the kids did ask who Guy Fawkes was so I explained about him being one of the people who tried to blow up Parliament but it didn't work.

King Tut Day 2017

November 4 was King Tut Day.  I checked out the old Batman Television Series with Adam West from the library and the kids had fun watching lots of episodes that day.  Hey, one of the villains is King Tut, right?  Perfect excuse.

We also ate taco mummy wraps.
