I caved

3.2.11

I do recall complaining this morning to some ladies about how strange it is how our children now celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday. I just don’t get it. I don’t get why my children’s entire elementary school would be gathering together to sing happy birthday to Dr. Seuss. He’s dead as of 1991. I just googled it. I get that it’s fun and all that. But, all the hub bub is a little over the top.

Then, I picked up Drew from school. And, there he was proudly wearing his Cat-in-the-Hat hat.

And, he asked me for green eggs and ham for lunch.

And, I caved.

There they are. Funny how simply changing the color of something yummy can really make it totally unappealing (hence why Heinz discontinued their colored ketchup line. Ick. And, I say again Ick.).

No, my kids will not get Dr. Seuss day gifts or a special birthday cake. But, I guess eating a little green eggs and ham won’t kill me or them.

Sunday Snapshots: {So Drew}

2.27.11

Took this right after he said

“Wishes don’t work in this town, only in Disney World.”

Not sure what he was wishing for.

Maybe for his room to be magically cleaned up.

Or maybe for pajamas that fit him.

Hangman

Have you ever tried playing hangman with a 4 year old who can’t read?

Drew’s Thanksgiving not-much-of-a-feast

11.20.10

Sometimes pictures just are enough. I will let these just tell the story for me. I’ll premise it though by saying that Drew’s class today made a traditional Friendship stew for their Thanksgiving feast. We contributed the chicken broth. But, there were lots of goodies in it including carrots and peas…yum (for everyone over the age of…say…12). The mom who organized it (God bless her) offered the kids a sticker if they tried it.

Watch the story and imagine your own captions.
