Dr. Seuss and more

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss' birthday so the elementary schools celebrate with fun Dr. Seuss stuff and Read Across America. I found a fun Cat in the Hat hat to make from No Time for Flashcards. The boys loved painting and making their hats. We were bummed they didn't fit their heads very well...I should have cut the paper plate bigger. We read a few of our Dr. Seuss books too. Yesterday at the library story time, they listened to more Dr. Seuss books and ate green eggs. I have to admit that there are some Dr. Seuss books that I just think are really weird and/or annoying, but kids really love the rhymes and rhythm and some are really good. Yay for Dr. Seuss (which isn't really his name, nor is he a doctor of anything...but oh well)!


More funnies:

1. The other day we pulled into the driveway and Damon says: Mom, when I'm bigger I'm going to have grownup glasses, a cool car, and a shirt with a skateboard and skulls.
This was totally out of the blue:) By the way, is anyone else super annoyed that skulls are on clothing for children?!! We saw a really cool shirt...a skateboarder, but he had a skull on his shirt! 4 year olds and younger don't need to be wearing skulls...not cute.

2. I was drawing with Damon the other day and he tells me I need to draw this really complicated weapon in a super hero book. I told him it was too hard to draw. His reply: Well sometimes I do hard things. It's ok you can draw it.

3. Tommy was getting dressed the other day and his foot got stuck in his pants. He said, "Where my leg go?"

4. Tommy was asking dad to fly his remote control helicopter, but the word 'helicopter' kept sounding like 'hot tub'. We couldn't figure out what he wanted to do!

5. Last night Damon was listing off his favorite super heros. Cosmo (BYU Cougar mascot) was included.
Then...
Damon: Mom, who's your favorite super hero?
Mom: uh, Dad.
Damon: Dad's not a superhero.
Mom: Then, Damon!
Damon: well, I'm not a super hero, I just look like one.
So funny!

6. Tommy put Damon's guitar on the other day and this is what he was doing. Isn't that face so cute?!

Sometimes I miss these guys so much that I get a little teary-eyed as I'm laughing. They crack me up.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I love hearing about what my Grand kids are saying and see how they've grown. Precious pictures. When I saw Tommy with the guitar I thought.......besides how cute he was. I thought by the way he was holding the guitar....definately a lefty. I love them so much.

(And they even look it.)
