Many months ago my husband, cskendrick, started the Tuesday DIDS series. His is the most eloquent description of what DIDS is, so I'll use his words to explain what's going on here: "DIDS (Damn I Did Something!) is our weekly victory lap, one and all, for various and sundry achievements that have made us feel proud, others feel special and loved and impressed or, if other people DIDS something, inspired us to either be impressed or, hey, it happens, a little jealous. :)"
CSK posted a diary earlier today, so I'm DIDSing tonight's edition.
So, our big DIDS here? We celebrated CSK's birthday today!
The Birthday celebration was small but special. Our oldest pod wrote a card, picked out the cake, and made the present--a "Go Tarheels!!!!!!" sign CSK can take to a UNC Basketball game (unfortunately, after the Heels ignominious loss on Sunday, we won't have cause to use it again for some time!)
Dinner was turkey quesadillas, followed by the 1st annual Kendrick Invitational, which was held in our back yard. CSK improvised a track using a Sponge Bob kid chair, a plastic fire-truck, and a toddler push toy. We then took turns running timed laps around the course. I do believe I was the fastest! (I'm sure CSK will correct that later if I'm wrong). Now the guys have moved onto dodgeball.
Well, I'm about to re-join the festivities!
So--join us on the "track" and take a few victory laps! What did you DIDS this week?
