In celebration of 9-9-09 we are having a 9 course meal:
Course 1: melon sized ball of sherbet (like at fancy restaurants where they serve a small serving of sorbet to cleanse the pallet)
Course 2: mini rolls
Course 3: drink (if I have time/energy it will be something better than Sprite)
Course 4: chicken nuggets
Course 5: jello
Course 6: chips
Course 7: baked potatoes (the mini red ones)
Course 8: strawberries
Course 9: ice cream (or cookies if I get them made)
Of course, all servings will be fairly small.
Other ideas I've had:
Count to 9 in 9 different languages.
Come up with 9 different ways to eat chocolate chips (or some other task).
If you can come up with 9 different ways to make 99 cents, I'll give you $9.99. (this won't be hard for any of the kids who care about money, but it is just something silly to build family memories)
Give away 9 'get out of a job coupons' by having the kids do something silly 9 times.
Learn 9 new things.
I don't know how many of these we'll do, but I'm going to try to do a few of them. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!

You could do something in the sports arena -- 9 passes with a football, 9 baskets, 9 laps around the house, 9 Anti-I-Overs, 9 jumping the rope, 9 skate board moves, 9 push-ups.
Sounds like fun!
Darcee you are so creative! I had even forgotten that it is 9-9-09, guess we won't be having 9 course dinner at our house tonight! Have fun with whatever you end up doing.
I just saw an article online about a woman in Wisconsin that gave birth yesterday. The baby was born at 9:09 a.m. on 9/9/09. When they put the baby on the scale, the nurse announced that he weighed in at 9 lbs. 9 oz.! What are the chances?? I hope that's not what you were doing to celebrate yesterday!
I need to make life more fun, but my brain is not wired to be that creative! Wow! I'm sure if I told my kids about it they would wish that I was that creative, too.
