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.

Vivitrivius Day

The kids knew that August 24 was National Waffle Day and also Vesuvius Day.  Nichole knew that Vesuvius was the volcano that destroyed Pompeii.  She just couldn't remember that it was called Vesuvius.  So several times in the morning and afternoon she would mention that it was Vivitrivius Day.  No.  Vesuvius Day.  It was pretty funny.  Vesuvius seems easier to say or remember than Vivitrivius, but no, that's what she would remember.  It was funny.
So for dinner we had waffles

and Nichole enjoyed pouring the syrup as if it was lava from a volcano.

I have plans to celebrate for after the kids go to bed.  I want to watch the Doctor Who episode about Pompeii.  I guess it all depends on how long it takes to get them to bed tonight.  Sigh.  I know I'm not the only one with bedtime battles.  But I've resolved not to blow like Vesuvius today.  So far I've done well.  I hope I can keep it up.
