We've Been Busy

End of the school year is always busy. It's Maycember. I'll tell you about some of this year's things later.

We can't always do our planned celebrating because there's this event or that event going on. We celebrate in other ways besides the holidays, see?

So in the midst of all of it, Lucky danced for me on Dance Like a Chicken Day, May 14. I appreciated it because I didn't even look at the Calendar of Celebration that day but he did.

Thank you, son. You are amazing.  

March Did Not Come In Like a Lion

March did not come in like a lion... besides me being sick. Jet and I were sick together. We have had a few snow storms since the beginning of March, though.

March 4 was National Sons Day. Apparently Sons Day shows up twice in a year, March and September. I had some bonding time with the boys. They got to play video games.

We also ate fish sticks for National Tartar Sauce Day.

March Comes In Like a Lion

Mmm, not so much. Beautiful first day of March we had.

A few days later it did rain, but by the evening, it was nice again.

The first day of March brought us Share a Smile Day. We smiled. It brought us Peanut Butter Lover's Day. People ate peanut butter sandwiches. It also brought us National Pig Day. I decided to create another version of my "Pig Island" picture from 2015. I went around singing the song as well.

 The second day of March brought us Dr. Seuss' birthday. "Do you like green eggs and ham?"

The third day of March brought us I Want You to Be Happy Day. Double Chocolate Chunk Muffins make us happy. It brought us National Cold Cuts Day. People ate ham sandwiches. It also brought us National Soup It Forward Day. I took that opportunity to try a new soup recipe, Easy Chicken Parmesan Soup, from sixsistersstuff.com and it was so yummy. Jeremy, Nichole, Jet, and I all loved it.

The fourth day of March brought us National Sons Day. I let the boys pick what we'd have for dinner so we had pepperoni pizza, BBQ chicken pizza, and Pineapple Fanta. It brought us Grammar Day. I corrected people's grammar from time to time. It also brought us National Dance the Waltz Day and National Marching Music Day. Like last year, Jet and I danced the waltz to "Stars and Stripes Forever" in 3/4 time.

 

The next day we had enough ingredients to make more pepperoni and BBQ chicken pizzas so the kids made more pizzas. Thanks, kids. 

What We Did for the Father-Son Campout

Jeremy took Jr. and Jr. Jr. to the Father-Son Campout this year.
While they were there, Nichole, Lucky, and I had our own evening of movie watching with pizza and snacks.  I didn't take any pictures.  Jr. took pictures of the beautiful scenery at the campout, though.  Here are some:

 It was a good evening.
