Dr. Seuss Family Fun Night

 

With it being Dr. Seuss week, I had to plan a Family Fun Night in honor of him. We read his books practically daily... Meg and Jake LOVE him and I love that they love to read partially because him.

So, we started off the night with dinner. What else... Green eggs and ham!

Then we played A Cat in the Hat game... Jake won :)

 

 

After that we did some Cat in the Hat questionnaires and crafts,

and then did lots of coloring with free Cat in the Cat printables I found online.

 We ended the night with a simple dessert, some bedtime stories, and "The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That" movie.

My man and I endured the festive (bland) food and silly (embarrassing) games, but really, this was obviously for our kids. They had a fun time and really, that's all that matters on a night like this one :)

Dr. Suess week begins!

My kids love Dr. Suess, I mean LOVE! So this year we decided to do a Dr. Suess week, which will more than likely morph into Dr. Suess weeks because we will be having a LLC meeting next week about Dr. Suess. But I suppose at 3 and 4, you can never get too much of Dr. Suess' books ;)

My girlfriend Mandy told me about a sale Michael's was having on all of their Dr. Suess stuff. So I headed over there and bought a bunch of little items to incorporate into our weeks.

Today we read two favorites; Yertle the Turtle and Cat in the Hat. And then we made these cute little bookmarks, Horton and Cat in the Hat:

And then I had great plans to make a Cat in the Hat snack I found on Pinterest, but Miss Meg is sick as can be and wants to be held 24/7. That's life with little ones... so we'll try again with the special snack tomorrow ;)

(PS- I won't likely be able to post what Dr. Suess things we do everyday so I may blog one big post at the end... we'll see how it goes)
