Dr. Suess' 50th birthday

Did you know Dr. Suess turned 50? On Tuesday there were two parties that we attended to celebrate his birthday. The first gathering was at the Buckeye Library. Abigail was pulled out of the crowd to try to balance an apple on her head while the reader read "Ten Apples Up On Top." As you can see she did it!!
They had some crafts for the kids to do followed by a treat: Cupcakes and green eggs and ham. It was so much fun. Abigail didn't want to eat her green eggs and ham. Laney gobbled them right up for her.
The kids got their picture taken with the Cat in the Hat. Craig is still sporting frosting on his lips.
That evening we attended the second celebration at Grammy's school. This is Freedom's principal reading to the kids. When Abigail read the title of the book to her, the principal said she could pull some strings to get Abigail in there if we wanted. Good job Abby.
Also to be noticed is the little boy in the red shirt who is obviously the focus of her attention at this moment. He is a friend we met at the library. Earlier in the day I caught her giving him a kiss on the cheek. That night he had changed his shirt because he "wanted to look nice for Abigail." Really, already?
