Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day Observed

January 29 was Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day but we didn't get around to playing with bubble wrap that day so Jet took it upon himself to celebrate another day.

Backward Day 2022

Backward Day on January 31. Jr. Jr. actually wore his clothes right side out and frontways.

I did encourage everyone to eat dinner for breakfast and to make sure if they didn't have their cookie last night to have it first this morning.

 

For dinner we had toast and hot chocolate breakfast foods. Today is also National Hot Chocolate Day after all.

 

We did break from the backward thing for a bit in order for me to roast Brussels Sprouts for Eat Brussels Sprouts Day.

 

I mentioned to Nichole it was also National Bubble Wrap Day. Her response: You're welcome.

Chocolate Bubble Wrap

January 27 is National Chocolate Cake Day.  Nichole brought home some leftover chocolate cake from a party she went to on Saturday so she, Jr., and Jr. Jr. all had pieces of chocolate cake today.

January 27 is also Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.  This is where the real celebrating came in for us.  We have a roll of bubble wrap for mailing things and for the occasional popping (it's pretty irresistible, isn't it?).  We cut some pieces for the kids and let them go at it.  

After hearing the sounds the popping made, Nichole said, "Sounds like slap bands."  You know those bracelets that are flat then you hit them against your arm and they curl around your wrist.  That's what popping bubble wrap sounds like.
Jr. Jr. came up to me with his bubble wrap and said, "Should I pop bubbles so you can hear the sound it makes?"  I said he should.
Jr. wondered what it would be like to step on it with his boots.  He brought one of his boots over and pushed on the bubble wrap with it to pop the bubbles.
Jeremy shared this with us:
"I like bubbles.  I like 'em a lot.
Now you know how I feel about bubbles so my song is gonna stop."
That was his "Bubble Rap."
*Groan*

Bubble Wrap.  I appreciate it.
