National Siblings Day - April 10
National Siblings Day (also referred to as Sibling Day) is observed on April 10. It is a day created to honor our brothers and our sisters.
Siblings. They are sometimes our best friends or our worst enemies. At times, siblings will provide us with our biggest competition, strongest encouragement and remind us of our most embarrassing moments.
Fictional characters describe those siblings best who are both rivals and yet are best friends. In The Hunger Games, Katniss puts her life on the line to save her sister Prim. Both Bo and Luke Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard risked their lives for each other. Author Beverly Cleary’s Beezus and Ramona’s longtime love-hate relationship between siblings depicted a normal childhood filled with angst.
Real life royal siblings Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had a different set of rules to follow making their relationship quite different from anything we would call normal. Being a queen will do that.
Queen Elizabeth’s grandsons, Princes William and Harry and William’s children, too have royal sibling relationships that engage the world.
Playing fictional characters who are siblings and being siblings in front of a television audience must have created a different lifestyle for Mary Kate and Ashley Olson. Their older sister is Elizabeth.
Another pair of sibling actors is Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty.
There have been plenty of presidents with siblings as well. George W. Bush has five siblings and William Jefferson Clinton has three.
How many siblings do you have? Are you rivals or do you support each other in all you do?
HOW TO OBSERVE
Spend some time with your sibling(s). Enjoy looking at photos and videos of time spent with your sibling(s). Play a song or two from the 35 Best Sister Songs list. Use #NationalSiblingsDay to post on social media.
HISTORY
National Siblings Day was founded by native New Yorker, Claudia Evart in 1995 to honor and celebrate siblings. After losing her two siblings early in life in separate accidents, she knew how important siblings could be in our lives.
Claudia created the Siblings Day Foundation (SDF), a tax-exempt organization, whose goals included the establishment of National Siblings Day. Claudia selected April 10 in honor of her late sister, Lisette’s birthday. Visit the website for more National Siblings Day information at http://www.siblingsday.org/.

(Just a note before we start... if you are an only child, substitute an aunt, cousin, or a friend if you want to participate!)
1. Stealing the questions from above: How many siblings do you have? Are you rivals or do you support each other in all you do? I have 3 (2 sisters 1 brother). I only talk with my brother, so to answer the 2nd half of the question, we support each other.
2. Have you heard of the Birth Order Book? What are your thoughts on the premise that your birth order affects you do in life? haven't heard of the book... and after reading the first little bit on the amazon link... I can relate with the first born stuff.
3. Is there something that you still do that drives your siblings crazy? Oh I am sure
4. Are you closer to your siblings now than you were when you were younger? I would say I am closer to my brother now... we are 5 years apart, so growing up I didn't really spend much time doing things with him... but now with how things have played out, we are closer.

5. Would you dare to tell us an embarrassing story about a sibling? I don't think I have any embarrassing stories
6. Tell us something random about your week. Yesterday morning I had a flock of turkey's (I think that is what you would call them) walk down my street. Mind you I live in the city, so this is not something you see every day, or any day for that matter.. so strange! I went on personal time so I could get this little video of it. So very cool!
Oh my...I’ve seen geese do this, but turkeys?
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of turkeys around here too. It's so strange to see them run towards the woods and fly up into the trees! Yes, a flock. :-) Nice photos of you and your brother.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! I’ve never seen a flock of turkeys, especially in the street. We’ve had one looney one run back and forth in the field behind our house, but that’s just crazy. Very nice pics of you and your brother. My brother and I are closer than my sister and me.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that yo and your brother are so close! We have turkeys at our work site that come around constantly like that! It is weird but they eat out of bird feeders that employees put out for them! HA! Annster's Domain
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are close with your brother. That is so nice.
ReplyDeleteSo, it is so funny you mention the turkeys! There was a local news story about turkeys on the news tonight. They are causing wrecks here there are so many. I have not heard of this before....we have deer trouble running out in front of cars, but not usually deer. I think they said turkey season starts Monday (hunting). Loved your answers! Have a great day!
