Today you are you, that is truer than true. -Dr. Seuss

Last weekend was Dr. Seuss's birthday.  It has become somewhat of an expected party around here.  To be honest I had completely forgotten about it, and it was not even on my radar.  When the kids came home from school on Friday Sadi told me it was Dr. Seuss's birthday soon...like in a day.  I quickly threw something together.  Of course the morning had to start with a little reading of Green eggs and ham.

Do you like them, do you Chase? 

Sadi liked them...for a minute.  They were doused in ketchup, and although they taste the same as regular eggs, somehow they just weren't.

I had scattered different Dr. Seuss quotes throughout the house and put books up for them to read, some with a little snack.

The most exciting part for them was the "search".  There had been a note left for them which read:

 

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are hiding from you

They could be hiding here or there,

They could be hiding anywhere!

If you find one you will see

how fun and tasty it will be.

 

This kept them busy all morning.  They were on the hunt for those things.  One of them was hiding in the shower, and the other under the table. 

Once they found them, each thing had a treat, and it was yummy as could be (or so I heard).

It's a fun way to get the kids to have a reading day...without them knowing it.
