My kids and I are going to wear red tomorrow for good luck for the Chinese New Year! :hearttt:

I have been wanting to make a chocolate cake with chocolate icing ... so what better reason than to do it on Choc. Cake Day!!


My DD loves to put puzzles together. I might surprise her with a new puzzle. The Dollar Tree has nice puzzles for cheap. ;)


Backwards Day --My son's kindergarten class celebrated this day by wearing their clothes backwards. I might mention this to my DD's teacher to see if she is planning on doing anything for it. ;) If I still had kids at home, I would dress backwards for the day, too. But since I don't, I'm sure I would get some strange looks! ROFL!!!
