Icecream, Hot Pot, Forgetfulness and Mirrors...

Wednesday was Icecream Soda Day. We wanted so much to celebrate this, but in the chaos of the day we never got around to picking up icecream! The weather really has been calling for icecream either, so we sipped our sodas (sans icecream) anyway and dreamed of icecream.

Thursday was Canada Day and again our plans for celebration fell short. We had hoped to enjoy the festivities at Fort Langley, but with the munchkin sleeping late and the taking an unusually long nap, by the time we got to the Fort it had started to rain! Yes, this unusually cool, rainy summer strikes again! Instead, we turned the car towards Surrey to hit our favorite store - T&T - to load up on chinese buns and other goodies for hot pot that night. It felt odd to eat chinese hot pot on July 1st...

Friday was I Forgot Day, which comes in handy since I completely forgot to celebrate anything at all! I even forgot to look at my random holidays calendar to see what we were supposed to be celebrating! Ironic isn't it? I had a good laugh...

Today was Compliment Your Mirror Day. Odd huh? To celebrate, we had fun making faces in our household mirrors (our toddler's favorite pass time), kisses and waving to ourselves while giggling. After thinking it was an odd holiday... I have to say, it turned out sweet.

What have you done to celebrate lately?

Tomorrow: US Independence Day; Build a Scarecrow Day; National Country Music Day; Sidewalk Egg Frying Day (Ha! LIke that's gonna happen with OUR summer weather!!!).
