Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

We had some Dr. Seuss-themed fun to celebrate this great man's birthday last week.  First it was a Dr. Seuss sibling sleepover on Saturday night.  The kids watched our DVD of "Green Eggs and Ham and other Dr. Seuss stories" and had a treat of Swedish Fish (you know, as in one fish, two fish, RED fish...)

On March 2nd we had green eggs for breakfast (sadly, we were out of ham, and Jack was very bothered about it).

Since the weather was nice, Eliza, Luke and I had a picnic with some friends after Eliza's dance class and we brought along some Cat in the Hat cheese sticks.

If I'd been as smart as my good friend, we would have had Who-ville's famous Roast Beast for dinner, but at least now I have an idea for next year.  We did have some fun with dessert, though.  We had "pink ink" (you know, the Yink who likes to drink pink ink from One Fish, Two Fish), which were strawberry smoothies, with Truffula Trees (from The Lorax), which were balls of cotton candy plopped on a straw.  While the kids enjoyed their smoothies and cotton candy I read them a Dr. Seuss book I'd checked out from the library that morning: Bartholomew and the Oobleck.

I printed out some Dr. Seuss coloring pages for the kids to color that week, and I liked these cute Thing One and Thing Two papers I found online.  I thought I'd do something fun with them on the bday but didn't get around to it.  A few days ago I finally played around with them a little.

Not bad, right?  And once in a while I feel like my kids might actually be trying to impersonate Thing One and Thing Two, so it's fitting, haha.

Hooray for Dr. Seuss!  What a positive impact he's made on our world.
