party people

grace and carter were super excited to celebrate their birthdays especially since their party included pjs and cereal!!!

when the guests arrived, they began making their fruit loop necklaces.

next, we tossed pancakes.  there were lots of giggles during this game.  carter and pierce were chunking the pancakes at each other.  andrew kept trying to eat his and then turned it into a hat.  allie had to dodge them.  pancakes landed in lots of unusual places.

the kids enjoyed lots of yummy breakfast foods...cereal, donuts, pancakes, and fruit.  mmm!!!

before our friends left, we played one last game...

this may have been the most entertaining!

we loved having friends and family over to celebrate!!!

r i s e & s h i n e

it's party time!!!

we celebrated both grace's and carter's birthday with a pajama party!  our theme was "rise & shine."  we decorated with sunshine-y colors, ate breakfast foods, and wore our jammies (of course).

Dr. Seuss-ey Stuff

March 2nd was Dr. Seuss' birthday and we celebrated all week in an easy kinda way.

Grace had Silly Sock and Silly Hat Day at school.

We made some silly glasses to help us read some of Dr. Seuss' silly books.

We made a Cat in the Hat hat.

John even got in on this action. 

We cooked green eggs and ham.

We ate them with some Seuss Juice (aka: Hawaiian Punch and Sprite)

And, of course, we read a ton of books!!!

We can't celebrate Dr Seuss without quoting him at least once.  So...

the more that you read

the more things you will know

the more that you learn

the more places you'll go
