Children's Day

Alex, in one of her many questionnaires, came to me the other day asking about Mother's day, when? Why? Father's day, when? why? Children's Day? WHAT? I don't think there is a children's day, but I guess if Mom and Dad get a special day, why not let the Children? So I asked when she wanted to have her day. "May 5th" she answered without hesitation. Sure. We really aren't all big on cinco de mio so why not? Well I had forgotten all about this conversation, thinking it was just a wayward thought, until last night when Alex came to me with her "Children's day Request list"

Translation( because this is not her best work, usually her spelling is much better!):
Dessert chocolate chip brownies. Dinner Chicken Alfredo and rolls and corn. Breakfast waffles. snack after school chocolate chip cookies. after school Kades house, time to be home 6:20. Go to bed 8:40. and done. (big hart)

I love how she knows exactly what she wants!
This is so funny on many levels! Her bed time is 8:00 (no exceptions) she has to be home from friends house at 5:30 ( no exceptions) I don't do junk food after school snacks, she usually gets an apple. But today is Children's day! So we had waffles for breakfast, we had Chocolate chip cookies for after-school snack, I even got her a present,instead of sending my beloved daughter out to play on this special day I bought some board games. William loves his "go Fishing " game, Alex got Crazy 8s and Old maid Reagan got CandyLand and we played them until dinner time.(not sure how Kade's mom would like her over till 6:20) Then of coarse we had chicken Alfredo, rolls, and corn! We compromised and put them to bed at 8:30. It was a fun day! I think every May 5th is Children's day at our house!
