HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS

Yes you are seeing Green Eggs and Ham. To celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday I made green eggs and ham for dinner Monday night. We finished off the night by reading one my favorite Dr. Seuss books - I Can Read With My Eyes Wide Shut.

The more I read him with my kids the more I realize what a special gift he had. I am glad Dr. Suess shared his talents with us all.

Place for most recent funny lines from our favorite 6 year old

-- An oldie but a goodie - When Senia was born, Tia, Kaitlinn and I went to the store to get Senia a stuffed animal. As we walked into the store Kaitlinn said let's get her some shoes as well so she can walk. As if it were that easy.

-- The other night I was reading a bed time story to Kaitlinn. She said hang on I need to put my slippers on. She then grabbed each of her slippers and hit them hard against the leg of the crib (her sister's crib). I asked her what she was doing. She looked up at me and said "DUH, I don't want to put my slippers on and have there be spiders in them."

-- We went out for Chinese food the other night. In the middle of the table there was one of those soy sauce containers that had a pouring spout. While we were waiting for our food, Kaitlinn announced to the family that they served breakfast as well. When I asked her how she knew that, she pointed to the soy sauce container and said "look they have syrup on the table."

-- We read that if you have ants, that a good way to get rid of them is to put down corn meal. Ants apparently can not digest it, so they will carry it off and then die. So one night, I am making chili and Shannon gets out the corn meal to make corn bread. Kaitlinn walks up and says, "what are you making." Shannon says that she is making corn bread. Kaitlinn replies, "with the stuff we use to kill ants?" --- so clever.

-- The other day at dinner, Shannon mentioned that the following day would be Great Grandma Flowers B-day (Shannon's Grandmother who passed away before Kaitlinn was born). Without missing a beat, Kaitlinn looked up at Shannon and said, "you know she is dead."
