“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

You Make 'Em, I Amuse 'Em!

Every year our library holds a big birthday party for Dr. Seuss! Last year scared the pants off of Trey and Livia by having the guest of honor be the Grinch. I spent at least the next six months trying to convince Trey that the Grinch wasn't in the basement or in his closet and no, the cranky cross walk lady at Aurianna's school is not the Grinch!
This year I was happy to see that they were celebrating by having everyone dress up as their favorite character in their favorite book! My girls still wanted to pay their respects to the great Dr. by being a Who from Who Ville! (Livia had a blast getting ready!)
Trey loves the book PARTSSo we got him dressed up like the boy in this book! (A problem arose, I will get to that in a sec!).
The kids all had a blast though! They invited Fancy Nancy, The Big Bad Wolf and the Hungry Caterpillar to come read their stories to the kids! They had a story book parade and everyone got a fun prize for coming dressed up!



They gave away prizes and Trey won! He got this
And all of the kids got to pick out their own book!
This is our cute librarian! She always does such cute things!
Trey looks more like Linus from Charlie Brown because he had a yucky wart removed off of his foot right before the party. He wouldn't let me put shoes on him and I had to find pants that were too short so that it didn't touch it. The wart wasn't really that big...but this is what we woke up to this morning
He was still smiling though....he is such a little trooper!
This was his head last October...the kid didn't even cry as they were numbing and stapling his head! The doctors were amazed! By the time he is done, he could be his own character in one of Dr. Seuss' books!

Oh my goodness!! What happened to his leg???? The wart was taken off? That looks like it hurt so bad, poor kid.

You have to tell me how you got the girls hair to stay up so cute. That would be every kids dream to dress up as their favorite book character.
