i'm glad you're in a good mood. it's
really yucky here so it's kind of bringing
me down. it's a US holiday though, so my
husband has today off from work and we're
going to go out to lunch and then do some
shopping.
my husband loves band of brothers. it's
not really my thing.

It is President's Day (observed). Mostly
the banks and schools are closed on this
holiday. Some other businesses - but it
isn't one of the major holidays.

While we celebrate St Patrick's day, we
don't take it off work. Our next work week
holiday (because Easter in on a Sunday!)
is Memorial Day in May. It kicks off the
summer holiday season. Everyone goes
camping and BBQ's something - at least
that is what it seems like.

Bridget is this a paid holiday for Nick?
We (at the county) dont have it off. We
had Martin Luther King Jr.'s B-day off in
January. Thats why we are at work today.
We have Good Friday off before Easter.

it would have been paid but he just
started a new job and is not considered
permanent yet. he didn't get MLK day off
though.
tanya, what's family day? just a day
you're supposed to spend with your family?
that's kind of an interesting concept.
we went to taco bell and then shopping at
kohl's. it's really cute to see nick
picking out baby girl clothes. we got a
bunch of stuff for esme that was on sale,
i did some serious bargain shopping! oh,
and we got her the cutest softest blanket
ever made. i wish they'd had it in an
adult size! we used finn's monkey harness
for the first time and i was afraid
somebody might make a negative comment
(while it's very cute, it's still
technically a leash), but all we got were
a hundred "look how cute!" comments and 2
moms actually asked where i got it. he was
so good and he loved the independence of
walking around the store on his own.
ok, apparently i'm feeling chatty. i'll
stop now! hope you're all having a good
day!

Yes. It's a new statutory holiday.
Normally when school and work is off for a
holiday people just spend that time at the
stores or whatever. So all those things
are closed too. So people have to spend
time with their families, that's the
point.

I was afraid of negative comments too
about our monkey harness but we heard
nothing but good things from other moms
& dads. Of course there are the snobby
teenagers in every store that don't have
kids who roll their eyes & would
"never" put their kid on a leash but that
was about it. Glad Finn did good with it!!

We have Family First nights once a month
where we can't give homework, the kids get
off of school at noon, and they get tons
of coupons to local video stores and
restaurants. It's not quite like the
whole day, but it's the same concept.
Jesse's sister's bf refused to let her get
a monkey harness for their 2 year old.
Well, he saw Ava's for Mardi Gras and
Jesse overheard him telling Veronica (his
sister) "That's not so bad, maybe we could
get one." She was like, "ooooohhhh,
noooooo, you didn't want that!!!" She
ended up asking me where she could find
one.
When someone makes a comment about it,
like him or my DAD, I just say, "it's
either that or she get kidnapped or hit by
a car, what would you choose?".
