Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

technically, yesterday was Dr. Seuss's birthday....but we celebrated it today!

the library on post here at Ft. Knox had a very charming bash which incorporated a very enthusiastic magician....who I might add was very knowledgeable about the Great Seuss!

the girls had a smashing time and they loved, loved, LOVED their Seuss outfits

i must interject here that all of the teachers ohhhhhed and ahhhhhhed over Avery's outfit...she even had her picture taken for the school paper which she was just tickled pink about...

the library was over run with kiddos.....it was a little EEK for me but i survived....and after all, it was for my sweet hot messes...who could turn them down!!!

i love my girls....everything is so magical and wonderful at the ages they are now....to see the world through their eyes brings a whole new meaning to everything....

it's all so simple and wonderful and enchanting....

i love doing these kind of things with my girls....to watch the excitement in their eyes and the joy that radiates from them is just so contagious....

happy birthday Dr. Seuss....thanks for keeping me young!!!

i hope you have all had a wonderful Thursday i included some pictures of the girls...Avery even got picked out of about 200 kids to go up front and help with the magic show....she was a HAM!


~R~


note to self....DO NOT tell your child that Dr. Seuss died before she goes to his birthday party....poor girl...she was heart broken!!!!







Magic Dan was awe-inspiring.....not only did he keep the kids in tears....the adults were right there with them!!!

  29. I've completed all of the requirements, and I have to say that I love all of Dr. Seuss' books, but now my ultimate favorite is A wocket in my pocket, because my lil'est one loves her "Wocket" (only he's a yot) and well that just makes me love the book that much more!!!
