More July Holidays

Let's jump into catching up on more July holidays.

July 7 was Father Daughter Take a Walk Day. Jeremy was not available that day so I took Nichole for a walk into a store to get hair stuff and makeup. Girl time. Woohoo.

It was also Macaroni Day so we had macaroni with our dinner.

July 10 was Teddy Bear Picnic Day. We had a picnic with teddy bears and non teddy bears on the living room floor. We made sure to invite Eeyore so he wouldn't be sad. Jr. picked a lovely location for us- Ordon Village.

We ate chicken patties for Cow Appreciation Day on July 11. Reminded us of a certain chicken place's advertising.

July 13 was Embrace Your Geekness Day. I like to call it Embrace Your Geek Day. I made sure to get a picture embracing Jeremy while wearing my Jurassic Park shirt.

The kids played chess with a Legend of Zelda Chess set.

July 14 was Mac & Cheese Day so we had shells and white cheddar and added macaroni.

It was also Shark Awareness Day. I bought gummi sharks for this holiday but forgot to get them out so we had them along with gummi worms on Gummi Worm Day, July 15.

 

We celebrated Nichole's birthday in July. We quickly turned the fan off before there was any candle... situation.

Girl Time!

Recently I got to have some well deserved girl time with friends.
I got to go for a nice Girls' Day Out with my friend of almost 20 years, Nessa. Luckily the weather was good so we were able to do outside and inside activities.
We went to the Water Conservation Garden in West Jordan.

We got Chinese food for lunch. Here are our fortunes. Mine is on the top. Nessa's is on the bottom.

We did some shopping and window shopping.

We made a library trip and got Nessa a library card. Have I mentioned I love the Orem Library.

We went out for pizza and read The Far Side.

It was good to spend time with my friend. I love that we've been friends so long and we still get together to do things. Usually it's with kids but this time it was just us. Fun.

Another time, I got to go to Girls' Night with some of my PG friends. Since it was October, we ate chocolate and watched Arsenic and Old Lace. I love that movie. And I love my friends. And I love that we spent so much time talking and talking and talking and talking. We did manage to finish the movie, though. Go, us!
