Happy Birthday Dr. Suess

For Dr. Suess' birthday we went to Olivia's school a half hour early where we got cozy (in our jammies) and read some Dr Suess books together. It was a little crazy with Buster who just wanted to pull the books off of the shelf, but it was a good idea and their were moments of fun. It wasn't too fun when I looked up to see Buster climbing up his stroller, and then watched as it tipped over with him in it and everyone turned and gasped. I thought for sure he would let out a loud wail, but he just giggled.Whew.

Little rascal.

Here's a pic of the kids eating green eggs and ham that Dad cooked for breakfast this morning. I guess we discovered that we really don't like green eggs and ham at our house. Olivia didn't actually eat them, because even though the allergist says she can eat eggs now, she still doesn't want to. I can't say I blame her, the food used to make her wheeze like a chain smoker when she was a baby. Warner couldn't bring himself to eat them either. He just kept saying "But they're green! That's gross!" Jaron said that Warner watched him put the green food coloring in, but Warner still couldn't get past the mold-like color.  Maybe if it was pink eggs and ham it would be a different story, because for some reason I couldn't get over the color either, and I myself don't believe I can say that I like green eggs and ham. You live and you learn I guess.

Liv's comment was "Hey it would be really funny if Sam didn't like green eggs and ham, because then he would REALLY BE SAM-I-AM!!!" She was pretty excited about that thought. Sam is her cousin who she adores, quite literally adores. In fact, last time he was over I heard her propose to him.  "Sam, will you Marry me?" she asked. "Sure, I'll let you marry me" said Sam. Then she said, "But where are we going to live?" I had been eavesdropping from the front and finally decided to ask a very thought provoking question for a six year old girl "Olivia, are you sure you want to marry Sam now, and leave our house and our family?" The whole "you don't marry your cousins" conversation would come later I figured. After thinking about my question for a second, she looked a little upset. Then she looked at Sam and said "We should probably think about this later."  . . . "But don't forget ok?"  


Anyway, Happy Birthday Dr. Suess.
