High Fives, Blah blah, Animal Crackers and Garlic...

So I've been absent from the blogosphere for a few days, missing my chance to keep up with my daily post. The reason alone was celebration enough -- my parents were in town! While they were here on business, not pleasure, and thus in and out without too much time to spend with us, it was nice to have them here none-the-less, and great for them to spend time with our little monkey.

But while I may have missed my daily posting, that doesn't mean the celebrations stopped too. Friday was "High Five" day, and so we "high fived" with our toddler all day. She's finally gotten the hang of it (meaning doing it properly) and gives a pretty good slap to your hand if you leave it up in the air for her to hit. Pretty cute! ;-)

Saturday was "Blah, blah, blah" Day and we celebrated it in an unusual way. The idea behind the day is to do something that someone has been nagging you to do. So, since we've had plenty of people tell us it was high time to get a baby sitter and reclaim our "couplehood", we took the opportunity to enjoy an "adults only" dinner with my parents and hired a babysitter for the first time since our daughter entered the world. It was hard, but it was good.

Sunday was an easy day to celebrate simply because we have a toddler! It was National Animal Cracker Day, and what toddler doesn't love and animal cracker! She munched on them while we enjoyed the praise & worship time at The Life Centre, and of course later in the day as a snack. Yum!

And today? Well, today was National Garlic Day. And if you know us at all you know that we actually choose to celebrate this every day! We loooooooooove garlic. From garlic roasted hummus to yummy fish and broccoli smothered in garlic, let's just say we enjoye our day but don't smell so great now! ;-) Hee hee.

What have you done to celebrate over the last few days?

Tomorrow: Look Alike Day; Volunteer Recognition Day; National Pineapple Upside Down Cake; Lima Bean Respect Day
