We're really big fans of Dr. Seuss here in the Russell house and we were just so excited to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday! I joked with the girls the night before about having green eggs and ham for breakfast and although they thought it was funny, I think in their heart of hearts they really wanted it. Matt was brilliant enough to remind me that yellow and blue make green, so to use the BLUE food coloring when dying Lily's scrambled eggs green!

| Eeew. It looks kind of gross, but it tastes the same! |
 |
| Do you like green eggs and ham? |
Of course Sophie wanted green eggs and ham that looked like the pictures in the book. So that called for my separating the yolk from the whites and scrambling the whites with green food dye. It turned out pretty well except that I ended up breaking the yolk.
 |
| It almost looked like the book... |
 |
| I do so like green eggs and ham! Thank you, thank you Sam-I-am! |
They were thrilled to have a funny breakfast on a Friday morning! As a part of National Craft Month, I made Sophie a jumper and Lily a skirt.
 |
| A basic no-frills skirt. Just the way Lily likes it! |
 |
| My little "Who's" ready for school! |
You have to agree that Dr Seuss is a pretty important person. His stories made us laugh, his illustrations are the best and his imagination brought us to new and fascinating worlds. He made us think, learn, rhyme and read. I definitely think that he should be honored by everyone on his birthday!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
"Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!"
