12-12-12

I just had to celebrate 12/12/12 in some way since a date like that won't come around again in our lifetime.

1. We started with 12 donuts for breakfast.
2. 12 was our number of the day for math and tried to work in the number 12 in as many ways as we could during school.
3. We took a picture at 12:12. Dave was home for lunch.
4. We had an eating contest. Who could eat 12 items the fastest? We did chocolate chips, cereal and pieces of cheese. The cheese was a little hard to swallow so I won that one.
5. We did 12 jumping jacks, 12 sit ups and 12 Burpees.
6. We blitzed the house for 12 minutes.
7. We listened to as many versions of The 12 Days of Christmas as we could find on-line. Our favorites were The Muppets, Straight No Chaser and the song called The Twelve Days AFTER Christmas.
8. Emma worked on her science project making batches of bread. It wasn't really anything to do with 12 but she's cute and we had to work a picture of her in there somewhere.
9. I made 3 pizzas with 12s on them for dinner.
10. We read 12 picture books.
11. We watched the 12th episode of a show.
12. We said 12 things that we are thankful for.

Happy Birthday to my brother, Jeff, too!
