Another Barbecue

July 20 was National Hot Dog Day. Jeremy grilled us up some polish sausages and then we made s'mores.

That's all I have to say about that.

 

Except for something cute. When Jr. Jr. was little, he misheard when we said, "polish sausages." He called them "polar sausages." Even now when he wants one he will ask for a "polar sausage." It's cute. I'm trying to think if he ever even calls them "polish sausages," though he does know that's what they're called.

Catch of the Day

 

Wow. Lucky did a great job on his mustard pattern- better than I ever do.

Celebrations With and Without Pictures

October 5 was Get Funky Day. One of us was in a funk that day. I said it counted.

October 6 was National Noodle Day. My plan was to make stroganoff with egg noodles. I asked Jr. Jr. and Lucky if that would be good for them after their dentist appointment. They didn't think so. They would rather have rice... with chicken cooked in gourmet sauce. 

Well, I gave them what they wanted. And I made stroganoff with egg noodles. It was just one of those days. It is not often I cook multiple entrees.

Ooh, that reminds me of something that happened recently. It was a leftovers for dinner night and I noticed there was spaghetti sauce that needed to be eaten up but no leftover spaghetti. So I cooked up a bunch of spaghetti noodles and... the kids all took the pasta but didn't touch the spaghetti sauce. Sigh. Now I know why there was leftover spaghetti sauce in the fridge but no spaghetti. Actually after I mentioned something, I think Nichole put some sauce on her pasta.

October 8 was Fluffernutter Day. Tee Hee. We did have fluffernutter sandwiches for dinner.

October 11 was International Day of the Girl Child. I put on the menu plan "boys make dinner" so Nichole and I (the girl childs) could have a break. Jeremy wasn't feeling well so he left dinner making to the boys boys. Jr. made Polish sausages with mashed potatoes and cheese. Lucky made hot chocolate. Jr. Jr.... didn't. I tried to do some catching up of my blog while they were and were not making things.

That day was also It's My Party Day so the kids and I sang that song. 

And here's another thing. For Family Home Evening treat one night, Lucky got out pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows and instructed us on how to make certain things and in what order to eat things. I think he enjoyed having that power. 

Yellow Pigs Day

July 17 was Yellow Pigs Day. Nichole and Jr. talked about the time Jr. won something because a yellow pig won a race. It was at a county fair back in 2014 and Nichole told her little brothers how she won a hat at the same time.
We were going to have pigs in a blanket with mustard for dinner but didn't get dough made. Instead we had hot dogs for kids (with mustard) and for grownups we had polish sausages with mashed potatoes and yellow cheese on top (and some red pepper flakes). Yumm.

It was a hot dogs kind of week.

Lucky used one of his tickets that night to watch the same movie Nichole picked earlier in the week, Matilda. He also had some gummi worms with his popcorn.
