Some January Fun... That Hasn't Already Been Mentioned

Sometimes you just have to dance to the music. In this case it was music from Singin' in the Rain. In fact, I think it was the song, "Singin' in the Rain."  

January 15 was National Bagel Day. Breakfast sandwiches for dinner? Yes, please.

 

Live long and prosper.

 

January 16 was Appreciate a Dragon Day. Nichole wore her new dragon-themed shirt and her new dragon earrings and as is tradition, she sketched a dragon.

She and the boys also played "toss" with the dragon that she made in elementary school. 

January 17 was Popeye Day. We had food with spinach for dinner including Popeye brand spinach.

 

One way to get exercise in during the Winter. Roll the ball down the hall and chase it.

January 18 was Winnie-the-Pooh Day. We had honey roasted carrots with our dinner. I also made granola that day but used maple syrup instead of honey because I wasn't thinking and we had syrup we needed to use up.

 

Sometimes in life, you just have to stop and play with monster trucks. Did you know that because they're "monster" trucks, they roar?

 

And this...

Weekdays of Celebrating

Now that we're transitioning back to school, our celebrating has simplified. There's not time to do as much. So here are a few things we were able to fit in the second week of school.

 

Monday, August 23 was Gene Kelly's birthday. The kids wanted to watch Singin' in the Rain but their wasn't time that day. It was also National Sponge Cake Day. Jeremy bought us chocolate twinkies but there wasn't time for those either. There was time a couple days later so people got to eat twinkies while watching Singin' in the Rain.

 

Tuesday, August 24, was National Waffle Day and Vesuvius Day. One of the kids suggested we have an explosion of syrup on our waffles. Heh Heh Heh. I opened the syrup carefully to see if it exploded before we put it on our waffles.

Wednesday, August 25, was National Banana Split Day. The kids got to have banana splits for after school snack.

Thursday, August 26, was Dog Day. We had squid pups again.

Friday, August 27, was Banana Lovers Day. Yep. More banana eating.

Gene Kelly Kind of a Weekend

Saturday, August 22, was Be an Angel Day. I made our traditional alfredo with angel hair pasta. I didn't take pictures.
Nichole turned on Singin' in the Rain while she was doing dishes. I also didn't get a picture.
Sunday, August 23, was Gene Kelly's birthday. I didn't get any pictures of us singing songs from Singin' in the Rain but I did get pictures of my diner plate of a new recipe I tried in the crockpot- jalapeno chicken. Yumm. The garden fresh tomatoes from the couple who minister to us were so good, too. I love garden fresh tomatoes.

Monday, August 24, was National Waffle Day. We made waffles and tried out another new recipe for mozzarella stick waffles. Also yumm.

The kids finished watching Singin' in the Rain while doing dishes.
It was a Gene Kelly kind of a weekend.

The KAT's Meow

The kids were watching Book of Mormon videos. Abinadi was telling the wicked priests of King Noah how they had not kept the law of Moses. Lucky immediately began to sing, "Moses supposes his toeses are roses."
