Today for lunch I had a delicious sandwich on a baguette featuring lots of ā€œTex Mexā€ shredded cheese, which contains lots of cheddar.

I observe Lent, so today (final day before lent begins on Ash Wednesday) Iā€™ll be eating lots of treats and eating a delicious dinner with the family. Looking forward to the yumminess :heart: But because Ash Wednesday falls on the same day as Valentineā€™s Day this year, we will be giving the kids a nice ā€œtreatā€ breakfast" before we begin our observance.

That sounds really neat, I can only imagine the discomfort an NG tube would cause :grimacing: .

The way they had the tube rigged up and taped eventually caused a permanent indentation on one of his nostrils. When I noticed that (because he never complained about anything) that I came up with the ā€œharnessā€.

That sounds awful! Thank goodness you not only noticed, but were able to come up with a solution as well!

So great that you were able to create something that worked for him in the meantime, though!

Happy Valentineā€™s Day!

Iā€™m too tired to put all the other stuff for today here, lol! Bu theyā€™re all listed at the top of the thread :slight_smile:

I didnā€™t do anything for Valentineā€™s Day, but the kids and I created a display for Lent. The kids did do Valentineā€™s crafts too, but honestly I only had energy for one craft today, especially since we had a really busy day with activities outside the home.

Next Everyday Holidays Craftalong

For next month, Iā€™ll do another monthly post, but starting in April, I think Iā€™ll do it quarterly, like the Nerd Games. I think thatā€™ll give everyone more time to participate. And the idea will be the same as the Nerd Games, where the crafts arenā€™t time sensitive. So you could do crafts for holidays that are held in April in June and it would still count.

What do people think of this?

Iā€™m open to ideas!
