So even though it happened like a week and a half ago...I really wanted to share a fun day the girls and I had last Monday. It was Dr. Seuss's birthday and we decided to celebrate (any excuse for making cake and blowing out candles, right?!) It started with my suggestion that we make cupcakes and decorate them fun colors, but the girls kept coming up with fun ways to make it truly a Seuss-tacular day! They decided to wear their Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes (from Halloween) for the majority of the day; they rounded up every Dr. Seuss item in the house from which Grace made a display table; and of course we read Dr. Seuss books to our hearts content! Later that night we had a FHE lesson on the importance of learning, and I spotlighted Dr. Seuss and his contribution to the world of children's reading and literature. We ended the night by singing Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss and letting the girls each blow out a candle. Okay...it sounds kind of fanatical, but when my kids get an idea in their heads they want to carry it out to the max (and when I see them having so much fun, it only makes sense to encourage it!)

I love it! We've been celebrating Dr. Seuss as well in preschool. But your costumes are awsome!

I didn't make it to the local Seuss party, but I'm glad to see you made it happen! You are a tremendous mom and the world would be a better place with more fanatical fun and moms who parent with purpose. You go girl!
