The Fleetwood Four: Our Time with the Dr. of Rhyme

My rhyming ends there.

We love books and reading in this house. Dr. Seuss is a personal favorite of mine and his birthday gave us another excuse for some fun. Since Annabelle is not yet in school and our library (amazing as it is) had no plans for the day I took matters into my own hands. Armed with books, movies, seussville.com, activities, and food we celebrated all week.

There are a lot of pictures of our food below, since it was all different (Annabelle has never cleared her plate so easily), but each day we also played on the computer, did an activity on paper (color, wordsearch, craft) as well as watched a movie or two.

Ready for fun

Chicken patty in pita with cheese hair

Schlopp witha cherry on top

(vanilla pudding with cherry)

Cat's Hat

(mini pancakes and strawberries)

Fish with star sandwich and rainbow goldfish & pink ink drink

Canned hash with egg and toast

From the Cat in the Hat Comes Back we had cake in the tub, Annabelle quickly learned that unlike the cake in the book hers would not float (we had another piece after bath was over).

Getting her toast ready for the Butter Battle, discovered many new Dr. Seuss books myself during our week.

Tossing their toast to see if they are Yooks or Zooks

Do You Know How Lucky You Are? Another one that was new to me. Great lesson for Annabelle and a good reminder to me.

Lucky Annabelle and a list of what she is thankful for

Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches an Egg are two of my favorites. So we spent a day with Horton and the Whos, reading also How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
