This week, we had the 2nd Annual combined Esther & Debi Hawaiian Pizza Birthday Dinner. + pulled pork sandwiches (Debi really wanted those, so she brought them, too.)
To add to the fun, the girls requested that everyone dress Fancy Nancy style. And if you don’t know who that is, I am so sorry for you. Adorable stories. Scrumptious illustrations. Really.
Nancy would say that wearing posh accessories really does make dinner taste better. Would you agree?

The morning started very well.
It’s my little sister, Debi’s, birthday. I made a banner. See, celebratory banners are kind of a tradition around here. We almost always hold my family’s “birthday dinners” at my house and I like to print up a sign and display it. Sometimes, the banner is left up for weeks, and is still up when the next occassion comes around. Instead of taking down the old one & replacing with a new, we’d just alter the first. Like, it might have said “Happy Birthday, Miriam”, then Andrew’s birthday rolls around a couple weeks later and so we cross off Miriam and write “Andrew”. One time, a banner lasted months. It had celebrated at least 5 separate occassions, and not just birthdays either. I think we had to cross everything out and sharpie “Happy Father’s Day” in whatever space was left.
Anyway, here is Debi’s:
We’d planned to go to the last Family Film movie of the summer. This one was to be about a little mouse with big ears. Cute. Plus, anything free gets extra fun points. The six of us got seated just in time, and as the movie started, I was texting Miriam to let her know where we were sitting (she took the wrong exit and was running just a little late). I got a text back from Miriam that she’d smashed her hand & needed help. I whispered something quickly to my Tom and in a rush left the theater. My sister was to be found in 24 Hour Fitness’s NRgize Cafe, hand under a bag of ice, dripping blood onto a towel. It ends up, she’d smashed her finger in her car door. Don’t do that! It looked bad. The 24 Hour Fitness people had been nice, bringing the towel & ice, and some bandages.
I ended up taking her home to wait until her doctor appt, where she got x-rayed and a tetnus shot. Her finger is looking a little better.
And I made a banner for her, too:
