Kids Day 2008

Yesterday we had a great Kids Day--a special Worth Family tradition to celebrate the birthday of my brother Gary, who was always the ultimate "Kid at Heart."

Here are a few of the highlights

  • Fruit snacks right after breakfast
  • Swimming Lessons
  • A trip to Wal-Mart to pick out "gifts" for each kid. (I tried to argue that Kids' Day didn't necessarily mean gifts, but Tommy reminded me that Daddy and I both got gifts on Father's and Mother's Day.) We got Legos, a Leapster cartridge, and some toy trucks.
  • Lunch and playing at the park
  • Extra toys allowed during naptime
  • Mommy cleaned the boys' bedroom without making them help
  • Dinner at Chuck-a-Rama, the kids' favorite buffet
  • Double desserts
  • A ride on the carousel at Liberty Park
  • More fruit snacks ("More than 1 package on the same day!?")
  • Staying up late watching movies
I got a few pics with the camera phone (click to enlarge)
It was a great day to let our kids know how special they are, and to celebrate Gary's life, as well!

  2. Nancy, you're freakin' me out here! I was looking at those pictures and I thought I was looking at pictures of me as a kid. Kelly and I agree that quite a few of the pictures of Michael look like me as a kid. I don't have any family pictures on my computer, but we found some good look-alikes in our geneology book. Perhaps someone in the family has some soft copies.

    Love Kids Day--we're going to start this tradition this year. Maybe on Birch's dad's bday.

  4. Well it was kids' day around here -- the boys ate an entire box of fruitsnacks and five popsicles each. What I will do to get a little more sleep these days is pretty deplorable.

    I love your wonderful way of celebrating Gary's life.
