My little Irish kiddos

Here's a picture from St. Patrick's Day. Both in their green!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I took pictures of the kids wearing their green this morning, but I'm too tired to download and post them. Maybe later this week. Anyway, we had St. Patrick's Day plates at breakfast this morning and wore green today. It was so nice here that we played outside after school and after I picked Kate up from day care. Since I didn't have dinner ready when Daddy got home, we went to Paradise. They had yummy green sugar cookies to sample. The kids ate about 3 each! I enjoyed the St. Pat's Day reuben and potato soup. Not healthy but yum! Hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

If you have visited Google today, you saw the image above. Today is Dr. Seuss' 105th birthday. I love Dr. Seuss! He did while I was in college and I totally remember that day. I have to say that I analyzed the political content of Green Eggs and Ham for the Politics and Literature class I took as an undergrad. It's an anti-prejudice message as I am sure you figured out.

For today's celebration, my son's class brought a pillow, blanket and book to school so that they could read a little on Dr. Seuss' birthday. My son took Green Eggs and Ham.

My favorite Seuss stories:
Green Eggs and Ham
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
My Many Colored Days
There's a Wocket in My Pocket!
The Zax and The Sneetches from The Sneetches and Other Stories
Horton Hears a Who!
Horton Hatches the Egg
Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?
The Foot Book
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
The Cat in the Hat


For the record, I like the new movie Horton Hears a Who. I think it's a good adaptation. I, however, do not approve of the remake of the Grinch or the Cat in the Hat. I'm a purist for those. Only the original cartoons will do.

What are you doing to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday?
