That Sam-I-Am

We celebrated Dr. Suess's birthday with a big bang and lots of reading. One of the books was Bartholomew and the Oobleck, great book. Then we made our own oobleck. Perfect for two boys who love ooey, gooey, gross, and messy...but luckily it cleans up really well. All you need is 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, and food coloring. This is so cool and weird at the same time.




For dinner, we did the obvious. This book is one of our boys favorites. However, green dyed food does not sound appealing at all. I found an idea in a magazine to do Greens, Eggs, and Hamloaf. (Spinach, a fried egg, and my mom's most delicious ever hamloaf!) It was a yummy, fun meal!
We had a great day celebrating (I won't give you the details of the meltdowns we had of each boy that afternoon...)

I do have one regret, I wanted to make a Cat in the Hat hat, but we didn't have the book and our boys have never heard of it, they would of had no idea what I was doing (am I depriving them?) They probably would have loved it, oh well, there's always tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day....

Oh the Thinks you can Think!
