We ended up having preschool at our house last-minute this week because of sick friends, and had a great time celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday! We took a mini-field trip to storytime, and had friends for lunch with feet sandwiches, pink ink drink, and cat cupcakes that I made with Emma the day before. Not super fancy but Carter has talked about the pink ink for days. His little preschool group is so fun. (Also, you can't see it in the picture but Carter was holding Danny's hand since he was a little nervous to be so close to Thing 1, who is kind of naughty in the book. :)
The boys were much more interested in flying airplanes than doing the craft, but Emma was excited about it when she came home from school.
I love Dr. Seuss. I love reading to my kids – it is one of my favorite things to do together – and his books are some of our favorites! When I asked the kids that afternoon, these were their favorites:
Carter: 10 Apples Up on Top
Emma: The Foot Book
Zach: The Cat in the Hat
Me: hard to choose. But I love the page in One Fish, Two Fish… where it says, "Look what we found in the park in the dark. We will take him home. We will call him Clark. He will live at our house. He will grow and grow. Will our mother like this? We don't know." It always makes me smile. Thanks, Dr. Seuss.
