We have been home sick this last two weeks or so. A sinus infection has found it's way to my family and we just can't seem to get rid of it. We even took Little Man to Urgent Care because he had such a bad time with it. Because of this we didn't leave the house and we are beyond cabin fever at this point.

For a change of pace we decided to celebrate. We don't have any birthdays, or major holidays coming up. We haven't had any major achievements either. But, who said you had to have a reason to celebrate? Besides, I vowed on my 1001 in 101 list to have a kid centered event at least once a month. So we threw a "Daddy Party". I know it seems like that would be centered around hubby, but really it was just for Sweet Pie.

Sweet Pie and I spent a good portion of the day coloring pictures and putting stickers on pictures to hang up on the dining room wall. Even Little Man "helped" out by grabbing at the papers and adding his drooly touch. We also painted her nails for a "fancy" touch. We then made green pancakes, eggs, and bacon and set everything up do hubby could see it when he got home. Sweet Pie stood at the window waiting for him and saying things like "come on daddy" and "where is daddy hiding?". I wish I would have got it on video. It was too cute.

Hubby was surprised and very appreciative. We had our dinner and now we are going to have his favorite dessert ever. Boston Cream Pie. Yum!

You can celebrate for any reason you want. Maybe next week we will celebrate Sunny Day or something.
