Yes Day

A few years ago we first read this book at our house:


It's all about a boy who gets one day a year where all of his requests are answered with "yes". Every time we read the book, the kids ask when they can have a Yes Day here. One day a few weeks ago we had our own Yes Day. Before we started the day, I made sure they understood Yes Day did not mean they could just ask for me to buy them tons of toys and then expect the answer to be yes. It wasn't Greedy Day.

Here are some of the things they asked (I said yes to all of these):

Can we eat dinner for breakfast (including chocolate milk)? Yes. Notice that Becca is eating macaroni and cheese at 6:00 am. Samuel requested a hot dog. For some reason I didn't get a picture of that.


Can we NOT make our beds? Yes.




Can we make our own pizza for lunch? Yes.


Can we eat our lunch UNDER the table? Yes.



Can we go to the playground? Yes.



After the playground, can we go get ice cream? Yes.



Can we stay up really late and watch a movie? Yes.


Was it a fun day? Yes.
