Would you like them in a house?
Would you like them with a mouse?
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
I am so excited to celebrate Read Across America Day tomorrow! Here is a sneak peek at what I've got planned. Shhhh, don't tell the kids! {wink}
Monkey is taking green "eggs" for her class snack tomorrow. Six of them are part blue and part green jell-o. It took too long doing multi-colored eggs so the rest are all green. Monkey is VERY excited to eat green eggs! She told me over and over that she will eat them in a house, and with a mouse, and she does like green eggs! (Can you guess what her favorite bedtime story is?)

Green Eggs and Ham Jello Eggs |
Lil Bean gets orange eggs and red Sneech belly stars. I hope the orange and red are more appealing to the 1 and 2 year old crowd.

This is the mold I made the eggs with. I need to order another one or two! They can be purchased at the Kraft Store for only $3.50!
My kiddos at school will be getting flat jell-o jiggler eggs. I wanted to make them the 3D version, but with one mold it wasn't happenin'. They'll be so excited to have a surprise snack!
Dr. Seuss Day wouldn't be complete without Thing 1 and Thing 2! These are the shirts Monkey and Bean will wear tomorrow. Amanda and I made them for Halloween (knowing full well they would be worn again on March 2!) They are silk-screened thanks to a tutorial at Modge Podge Rocks. And of course the girls will be wearing crazy socks. Its Dr. Seuss Day, I mean come on.
And here's my shirt. Amanda and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2 for our school Halloween Parade. I dug out the headband we made (if only I knew where the girls' made it off to...) and whipped up a fun tulle and bead bracelet. I think the google search to find the right bracelet idea took longer than actually making it! I found a great tutorial here. I made one for Amanda too. I'll surprise her with it in the morning! {giggle}
I hope you have something special planned for Read Across America! Remember:
"You're never too old,
Too wacky, too wild,
To pick up a book,
And read to a child."
Update:
Here is a picture of Amanda and I in our shirts! Dr. Seuss Day was a great success! The little kids weren't so sure about the jell-o eggs, but my class loved the surprise!
