Good morning, welcome to our series were we share Holiday Insights- Daily Holidays, Traditions and Facts! April 8th. Check out all the Holidays listed and leave me a comment letting me know which one you would most like to celebrate with your friends and family.
All is Ours Day is bound to be a spectacular day for…… everyone.
Think of the concept then imagine the possibilities. The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. What a great day this will be. Or at least I hope so. How about you?
Let’s dissect the meaning and intent of this great day. By examining the title of this day, word for word. It begins with the word “all”. For such a little word, it’s all-inclusive.
From a possessive standpoint, we are talking about anything and everything we want.. The verb “is” is sort, sweet and definite. It leaves no room for doubt or question.
Then, the creator chose the word “our” rather than the word “mine” This is a vital decision allowing us to completely enjoy today. The greatest events, and the best things in life, are those that are shared.
The only thing the creator left out is the definition of who “Ours” represents. That is left up to you. For me its my family and spending time today sharing the things we love. What about you?
Draw a Picture of a Bird Day is a special day for young bird lovers who like to draw. It doesn’t matter whether you are young, or not so young. If you like to draw, then today is a day to draw pictures of a bird or two.
Ready boys and girls? Grab your crayons or markers and Charlie says he is going to use a Pencil to draw his bird. Open up your curtains and look for birds.
Once you spot a nice bird, start drawing. Make sure to autograph your picture. You never know, your work may one day become famous! For Charlie I am going to ask if he can draw my Woodpecker that sits in front of my home.
Don’t forget to check out the Draw a Bird Day website, which was created as a way to express joy in the very simplest of things in life. As a way to help soldiers everywhere forget war and suffering even if only for a short time.
If you prefer coloring sheets to the kids drawing then you should check out my free Bird Printables which can be used for Homeschooling.
Today is Zoo Lovers Day. Did you know Zoos have been around for thousands of years. Zoos were originally called a “menagerie”. In some form, menageries have been around since ancient times. The earliest recording was around 1500 B.C.!!
People, young and old, enjoy visiting the zoo. Where else can you see lions and tigers and bears all in one place. And, elephants, too! Grab a lunch and head to your Zoo.
The Zoo is a easy way to celebrate this special day. Go visit a zoo today. Bring the whole family. Bring Grandma and Grandpa, too. Secondly, open the purse strings and make a donation in support of your local zoo.
If your Homeschooling the Zoo is the perfect Field Trip to take not only the kids on but the adults as well. The Zoo offers so many learning opportunities. Take a lunch and plan to stay all day.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
