Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

 Tonight we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday! Since Phillip and I are both teachers, and love to read, it is only natural that we would try and instill a love of books in our girls. When we got home we watched the Green Eggs and Ham movie and then followed it with an awesome dinner. What was on the menu you ask? Of course it had to be...green eggs and ham! I also made pop up pancakes. One of my good friends, Crystal, told me about finding this recipe on Make and Takes (we are both addicted to this website)! You can find the recipe here. We ended the night by reading the story. The girls love Dr. Seuss! It really is a great way to get kids motivated to read because of the rhyme and repetition. Thank you Dr. Seuss for all of the wonderful books and Happy Birthday!
