Meeting The Cat in the Hat 3.8.14

Hunter absolutely loved meeting the Cat in the Hat!

Livi - not so much!  I was just super thankful she didn't cry.  

(Dear Hubby - next time my hair looks like this please let me know so I can fix it)

Happy Birthday Dr Suess 3.2.14

The kids have had a few Dr. Suess books on the bookshelves since they were just babies that I have picked up here and there from yard sales but we haven't cracked one open since they are a little more advanced.  This year since Hunter is going on "5" (Yes, I'm not letting that sink in yet) I decided that we would celebrate Dr. Suess' Birthday in order to introduce the kids to the books-

My original thought was to have a green eggs and ham breakfast but last time we had colored eggs (for Halloween) the kids were a little hesitant to eat them so Nate suggested green pancakes instead.  So the menu consisted of: green chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, ham and Dr. Suess Hats (stacked strawberry's & bananas)

 

 After breakfast we watched the "Cat in the Hat" movie and then moved on to crafts:

 Do you see anything wrong with the picture above?  Hunter is on the phone and Nate is crafting :)

We got Hunter back on track and he loved making thing 1 & thing 2 as well as Dr. Suess which I didn't get a picture of.  He wanted to be thing 2 as he thought he was the older one.

 Poor Livi was a bit under the weather but still had a good time...

 Elephants for "Horton"

We also started working on the "My Book about Me".  I got one for Hunter & Livi but thought we would save Livi's until she is a little older.  I completely recommend this book - it will be such a wonderful keepsake to have for the kids.

The rest of the day we relaxed and read a couple books (I completely forgot how long the Dr. Suess books are - WOW!) and then enjoyed a Dr. Suess cupcake and Jell-O with fish swimming in it (for - One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish) - picture still to come

For the rest of the week were reading a book a night and plan to do a few more crafts.



WiggleCar/ PlasmaCar

I picked up this yellow wiggle car on a whim a couple of years ago at a consignment store for super cheap and it has turned out to be one of the kids favorite toys.  A few months back Livi learned to ride on what I have been told is "Hunter's" wiggle car and you can just imagine the fighting that took place....so we decided to buy the plasma car so that they could each have one.  So the kids are in Heaven and play with this every single evening before and after dinner.  As it turns out the plasma car can fit them both so they end up riding together on it - go figure!

Valentine Baking

We made red heart cake pops for a special Valentine treat but somehow I forgot to take a picture of the finished product - I did however get a few pictures of these cuties helping me make them:
