Happy Kids Day

Emma informed me that this coming up Monday is Happy Kids Day so I have to get up in the night when they are sleeping and surprise them with Happy Kids Day stuff that says I love you and Happy Kids Day.

Mom: Oh, who told you about Happy Kids Day?
Emma: I just made it up but if you don't want to do it Monday while we're sleeping you can do it Thursday while we are at school.
Mom: Ok. Maybe I'll do it Thursday so I don't have to get up in the middle of the night and not get any sleep, then I'd be grouchy and I wouldn't have very happy kids.
Emma: Good Idea. Then Thursday while we are at school make us crafts and fun things that say Happy Kids Day and I Love you and then surprise us.
Mom: Ok...
Emma: (runs down the hallway towards the bedrooms) Jake - she said she'll do it! she said she'll do it! Yeah! (and the hug and celebrate the upcoming Happy Kids Day celebration).

I guess with Happy Mother's Day and Happy Father's Day she was feeling kind of left out that there wasn't a holiday to celebrate kids! I bet Halmark would love to hire her - one more holiday to sell lots of cards and presents.

So if anyone wants to celebrate Happy Kids Day with us - Thursday is the day.

Sounds so fun! I'm glad you guys decided not to do it on Memorial day and got your own day for your new holiday, though!

I love it. My friend came up with her own holiday once too. Kamakazi Chicken Day . . . it's a long story . . .
