A Seusstastical Party

We had a little birthday party for the kids to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday!

It was Wednesday...so Grace and Carter dressed WACKY!!!

Our guests were:

Thing 2 (Tripp), Thing 3 (Charlie), & Steph

Thing 1 was at school.

The Cat in the Hat (Lily) & Mimi

First, the kids made their very own Cat in the Hat hats.

Then, we read The Cat in the Hat and did our own tricks, just like The Cat!  The kids' tricks consisted of either jumping or flailing limbs!

Next, we read Green Eggs & Ham and made Green Eggs & Ham for lunch!

Try them! Try them! And you may.

Try them and you may, I say!

Say! I like green eggs & ham!

I do!  I like them, Sam-I-am!

Steph made some yummy 

Thing 1 & Thing 2 cupcakes!

We had to sing "Happy Birthday" first!

To end the party, everyone made their very own funny thing!

What a FUN and FUNNY day!!!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

A Makeover

Grace received this make-up kit from Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday.  She loves it!  What girl doesn't love playing with make-up?

Today, she painted my nails and then her own.

She did a fabulous job and she tries very hard to not make big messes.  She keeps paper towels in the kit.  Ha!  Then, she decided to try a more glamorous look!

some lipstick

a little lipgloss

And, voila!

Gorgeous!

In the Words of Grace

• "I very love dat!"
• "Dat not right!"
• She is always sniffing and asking, "What's dat smell like?"
• "Just a little bit?"
• She watches the "T We."
• "Momma, just be patient to Daddy."
• "Nesterday"
• A lot of her sentences end with the word "but"-"I want chocolate milk, but."
• "Carter Man"
• She wants everything in multiples of 3; chicken nuggets, cookies, minutes, grapes, books, songs, movies, etc.-"free 'cause I free"

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

It was such a nice weekend, we decided to play outside at John's school.  First, John and Grace played a little soccer.

It was exhausting...so there were a lot of water breaks!

Carter and I watched.

Then, we headed over to the playground.

And played, and played, and played.

I think Grace could have played all day!

another great day...
