Holiday Reflection

Holidays are interesting around here. Doug & Andy are just getting to the point where they sort of "get it" on most holidays. Since this its really the first year for this they seem to sort of get stuck on each holiday that goes past.
First it was Halloween. Lots of fun kid things associated with Halloween. Therefore Andy and Doug (mostly Doug) are still talking about Halloween and when it will come again and what they will do for it.
Thanksgiving was sort of a non-event for us this year because the kids were sick, so it passed without much notice around our house.
Next, came Christmas. There was lots of preparation and activities and family time and of course gifts. So the boys started talking about both Christmas and Halloween.
They liked the chocolate associated with Valentine's day.
The next holiday is St. Patrick day so I will be interested to see what they think about it.

They have also decided that there needs to be a new holiday. Unfortunately they are lobbying for a Sponge Bob day. Hmmmm...I see perhaps a square yellow cake and Crabby Patties? I'm not terribly fond of Sponge Bob but I'm a willing participant in my children's creativity. We have not picked a date yet.
