We are taking the day off to celebrate! Today B turns 18,000 days old.We have also known each other 11,111 days - today!And, because I know you guys love a good photo, here's a photo I took yesterday of some sap on our plum tree.
Miss P is waiting for this to turn to amber. How many days do you think that will take?
Pigs and a Party
Miss P and I started our morning with a quick trip to the fair to visit the baby pigs. I know you guys love the baby pigs, right?
Now, we are baking a chocolate pound cake because my little girl is 3000 days old today and we are having a party!!!
Fun Filled Frenzy
The last few days were filled with fun and festivity. We partied and marked some big milestones.M's high school graduation.
P is SIX!
We are ALMOST finished with the playhouse. We bought the paint yesterday. P chose pink for the walls and turquoise for the trim. The painting has begun.
New chicks!
And I have been able to keep up with my ICAD project! Others around here have joined in the fun too. 
Milestones
We like celebrations. Years ago, when the boys were small we started celebrating 1000 day milestones. We don't have a big party - just a special dinner, cake, or pie - something special to mark the passing of the day. These celebrations are fun because they are not annual events. They are also at different times of the year than the person's birthday and sometimes even catch us by surprise. B has a spreadsheet on the computer to figure out everyone's 1000 day schedule but we do need to remember to check it every once in a while.Today, D, my oldest, is 7000 days old. We are off to take him out to dinner to celebrate. P will have her 2000 day celebration NEXT weekend. I recently passed a 1000 milestone but we won't say how many thousand.What special things does your family celebrate?
