Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Today was Dr. Seuss' birthday and Parker was way excited! Apparently they have been gearing up for this week at school for a while. Parker can't stop talking about Dr. Seuss. They are dedicating this whole week to the man... with special activities for each day. Today was Green Eggs & Ham day. We were supposed to have green eggs and ham for breakfast, but someone dropped the ball and wasn't prepared (NO green food coloring!) So we had green eggs and ham for dinner. Well... some of us did!





After dinner Parker filled us in on some Dr. Seuss facts, like how each Dr. Seuss book teaches a lesson. The Cat In The Hat teaches that "Enough is enough", Green Eggs & Ham teaches us that "we have to try new things or we won't know if we like it or not", and The Grinch teaches us "how to love."

Then to finish our celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday (and for FHE) we watched The Cat In The Hat and had popcorn.

How fun! I had no idea it was Dr. Suess' b-day. You'd think we would've though with how much Scott loves all those books. Sophie is quite the reader too, she loves ALL books!
So, how was the green eggs and ham dinner?
