Dr. Seuss Week

Last week was Dr. Seuss week and I decided that we were going to celebrate it at our house too! I'm really tired of winter and I thought this would give us a good distraction from not being about to go play outside.

On Wednesday we had Cat in the Hat day. We made our own hats and decorated them however we wanted. Carson loves to glue things, so he really enjoyed this craft. He is also obsessed with buttons ever since we went to the library and learned the "Button, Button" game. He chose to decorate his hat with buttons, pom poms, and some pipe cleaners.

We tried to get Brooklyn in on the fun since I made her a hat, but this was her reaction. She tore the hat off her head anytime I tried to put it on. At least Carson was happy!

As part of Cat in the Hat day we also made Thing 1 and Thing 2 handprints. It was probably one of my favorite activities with Carson. He would giggle when I painted his hand because it tickled, and he thought it was so cool the way it turned out. Brooklyn was little miss cranky pants, so she went to sleep in her swing. She was even mad about that because I found her asleep in the position she is normally in when she is trying to get out of her swing.

Thursday was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish day and we had some friends over to celebrate with us. We made fish shaped cookies and decorated them and ate some fish snacks. We had Swedish fish in blue jello and gold fish. Brooklyn was in a MUCH better mood. :) We also made fish with finger paints and our hands. Even Brooklyn made one!! She wasn't very fond of the whole experience, but I forced her to do it. Her little hand prints are so cute!

Friday we ended with Green Eggs and Ham. We didn't do anything too crazy because we already had a busy day ahead of us, but we did eat green eggs and ham for breakfast. Carson thought the green eggs were really funny, especially when I put ketchup on them for him.

We had such a fun week celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday! We even got to have cake on his birthday because Brock celebrated his birthday that day.  I love spending time with my kiddos.
