johnny seed apple what?

yesterday was a very important day in the history of america. it is a day that i have never actually celebrated before, but upon hearing about the day and its utter significance it became very apparent that a celebration, a party even, was in order. the reason for the celebration? the apple man himself.......johnny. ok, ok, who has ever heard of johnny appleseed day really......i never have, but i really was pretty excited when i heard about it seeing that i always want a reason to have a party or celebrate something random. so the following video depicts what we did last night in memory of the man johnny and his apple seeds.


dan was sporting a DI pot, nova an orange plastic bowl, (and a ceramic mug for the picture) and i was wearing a pressure cooker. (please note: when wearing pots upon the head, they can cause what is known as 'pot-head' after you take them off.....not to be confused with a druggie......who also can be called a pot head.......which from the way i am talking on the video one may think i was smoking pot......johnny seed apple what? this is not true.....i just suffered a minor case of thought dyslexia......thats all.....anyway......)

needless to say, i was probably a little too excited about our dinner party, dan was a good sport, (i don't think he completely understood what he was getting into when he married me.....too late now eh?) and nova was not a big fan of the whole dinnerware on her head idea.....i can't imagine why.....regardless of the reception that johnny appleseed day received in our house i would personally like to thank johnny for giving me something to make memories with, because life isn't about how much money you make or what kind of car you drive or how skinny you are after pregnancy. its about laughing and making memories. its about fun things like wearing pots on your head and purple pancakes. it is in the journey that we receive the most fulfillment. thank you johnny for giving us something to celebrate.

Johnny Apple-Seed (or as he is know by his real name, John Chapman) is our direct ancestor! I found this out when we were trying to find names for Liam. We wanted him to have a family name and were looking through our family history stuff for the Hall side and my mom informed me that we are related to Johnny Apple-Seed. I always knew that we had celebrity blood... Looks like you had a fun celebration! Just thought I would let you know that you are actually a decendant of the man whose day you celebrated!

How fun! I need to get ideas from you for stuff like that I can do. I also need to get Matty to not be so inhibited.

Ya, we are related!! Adam is so proud of that and tells EVERYONE. Although, he gets laughed at more than people believe him, but what can you do? What is the next random holiday? You are too cute!
