Green Eggs and Ham, Sam I am!


March 2 is the Birthday of beloved children's author, Dr. Seuss...it is also my younger sister's Bday and the day Texas gained it's independence 175 years ago. Needless to say, March 2 is a big day in my household! In honor of Dr. Seuss's Birthday, we made a very Seussical omelette; Green Eggs and Ham (well, I forgot the ham so I had to use a hot dog.) The omelette is a blend of eggs, broccoli, and, in this case, hot dog wiener, and all held together with yummo swiss cheese. My daughter loves omelettes. She made me so happy when she said, "I gotta make sure I get some good yummy broccoli on my fork with each bite." (insert glowing proud mother here). And, because one can never have enough wackiness on the Birthday of Dr. Seuss, I used green food coloring to tint a glass of vanilla soy milk.

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you. --Dr. Seuss

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. --Dr. Seuss

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose. --Dr. Seuss

{ 25 Days of Christmas---Day 9 }


Reading together is our favorite thing to do. On this cold December night we read, How the Grinch Stole Christmas by the beloved Dr. Seuss. My little Queen of Fairies loves how I change my voice to match the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who. It is a Christmas favorite! I love snuggling in her bed reading together and tangling our legs up under the covers with each other. Sometimes Custard Kitty comes in and starts knocking things off the shelf with his tail and we have to stop and put him out of the room and then we get back under the covers and tangle our legs up all all over again and turn to the page where we last left off.
 Merry 9th Day of Christmas to you!
