Mixture of Holidays and Celebrating

We celebrated Jr.'s birthday in August. We spent a few days doing celebrations. It wasn't all on the same day. So here's how we celebrated his birthday and some other holidays around the same time.

August 28 was Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day. I did that in the morning.

It was also National Bow Tie Day so we had Jr.'s birthday dinner of bow tie pasta with homemade alfredo sauce and other yummy stuff and garlic bread and orange soda, of course.

August 28 was also National Thoughtful Day. I added bacon in with Jr.'s birthday dinner even though it wasn't on his list of dinner items. He appreciated it. 

Jr. got earbuds and fabric Thud board for easier traveling. 

He also got banana runts. He likes runts candies.

 

Jet insisted the candles on the birthday cake be in the shape of a "love heart." 

August 29 was More Herbs, Less Salt Day. Lucky got up in the morning and cleaned the table so he could display this for me to see. 

August 20 was Toasted Marshmallow Day. The kids had s'mores. 

Terry Pratchett's Birthday

April 28 was Terry Pratchett's Birthday. We decided that morning to celebrate with a Terry Pratchett themed dinner so we used what we had on hand to create what we did. #shelfcooking

We also played a Discworld video game from the 90's and our oldest son played "Thud" with his siblings, a homemade game he got for Christmas.

We made a Vimes BACON lettuce tomato sandwich, 

Dibbler's sausage in a bun (with onions and mustard), Captain Carrot sticks, bananas for the librarian at Unseen University (ook), cheese trolley, sludge from the river Ankh to drink, and Dirt.

We also had "the fifth elephant" as a centerpiece.

My favorite thing was the luggage cake we made. I am not a cake decorator but I think it turned out well. 

And of course there were Terry Pratchett books all over to read.

And... dwarf bread to fight with.

I love celebrating with this family.
