January 23rd is Measure Your Feet Day

Nami was wondering just how big her feet were. Bonnie had a tape measure, 
but neither had learned about centimeters or inches in school yet....
Picture
So Nami decided to get the help of a professional, and went to the shoe store 
at the mall where Lonnie was working part time.
Picture
Lonnie carefully measured Nami's feet. "You have big feet - they are the same size as mine"
Picture
Picture
Byuri and Erzulie were also in the store, checking out the new spring clogs...
Picture
..and of course, now that Nami knew how big her feet were, and what size shoe she
 needed, she decided to take advantage of the Big Spring Shoe Sales....

January 27th is Thomas Crapper Day

Today we celebrate the life and handiwork of 19th century master plumber Sir Thomas Crapper. Although he is often credited for it, he did not actually invent the flush toilet, but did much to improve it. So, today we celebrate indoor plumbing....

February 2nd is Groundhog Day

The girls were concerned the groundhog wouldn't be able to get out of his hole, so they went out so shovel the snow off if. 
But they couldn't find it. Oh well, there's always at least six more weeks of winter whether he sees his shadow or not....
Picture


February 3rd is Carrot Day

February 8th is Kite Flying Day

Byuri wanted to fly her kite, but she was disappointed the snow was just too deep to get a running start....
Picture


February 10th is Umbrella Day

The snow was coming down rather hard, so the girls took the umbrella out with them. But they decided they preferred 
the flakes falling on them. After all, "snowflakes on nose and eyelashes", are one of their favourite things.
