Celebrating Dr. Seuss Day!
In Honor of Dr. Seuss day...Our Dr. Seuss hats and fishies in a pond!
Got the cute ideas
here.....
This lasted all of about 2 seconds....haha!
The YW's recently had New Beginnings and guess what theme was going on? Dr. Seuss! It tied in with the mutual theme for the year...STAND YE IN HOLY PLACES...so cute!
The elementary school celebrates Dr. Seuss Day with early morning donuts and Dr. Seuss book time with parents. B and I read AND TO THINK THAT I SAW IT ON MULBERRY STREET...a change from GREEN EGGS AND HAM...B's Dr. Seuss favorite.
Look how cute the school secretary looked!!!
This was my favorite Dr. Seuss book growing up..My mom must have read it a gajillion times to me. It's worn, ripped, and taped and lovingly placed in my hope chest of treasures. {more on that later}
This has put me in the mood to share some of my very very favorite Children's books. Children's books are a little bit of an obsession of mine. We've got quite a collection. Besides Fancy Nancy and Junie B. these are a few of my very favorites....
This book...Spring Sprung is a MUST READ if you have all girls. Each girl represents a month in Spring {March, April, May}. These girls fight over who their Mother {Mother Earth} loves best. Mother explains how her heart is big enough to love them all. I got this book when I just had my three oldest girls...the last part of the book beckons for Summer to come out to play...that's my B Olivia. LOVE THIS BOOK!
This is my copy of Amelia Bedelia that I had has a child...also one of my childhood favorites....
My Mother Goose book that I got for Christmas in 1974 from my sister Karen, she would have been 16 at the time, I was two. Kills me. My mom read these nursery rhymes over and over to me....
These books are tucked away in my hope chest...love these little things! Beth's Happy Day was one of my very favorites....
Seeing Little Golden Books just make my heart smile. They have to be some of the best books ever made... don't you think? This See My Toys book my grandma gave to me when I was one yrs old!!! How precious is that? I'm so glad my mom saved these for me.
And look at this cloth one that I also had as a baby...{melt}
I have fond memories of my mom reading to me. Funny thing is I don't remember liking to read much on my own, as a child or teenager. {Other than Nancy Drew or Jack Weyland books.} Good thing is I love to read now!! Here's proof from one of my and Emma's recent trips to the library. {they are mostly hers.}
Luckily my hubs loves to read too. I've got two girls that love books and reading, but two that don't and one on the fence. {That would be the Dyslexia.} One day I'm going to have to do a post on that very subject, but first things first...I have to share some of my most enjoyable reads of late....
THIS Regency England novel goes on my all time favorite book list. I was sad to see it end. Julie Klassen's Silent Governess is also very good, but I liked this one even more.
I had a hard time putting this one down. Excellent!
Just started these two...
