Green Eggs and Ham

Today Eliza's School celebrated the anniversary of Dr. Seuss's Birthday and "Read Across America" with a Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast. It was fun. A local restaurant served the food and other companies donated books and hats for the first graders. Eliza kept telling me before the breakfast that it was just food coloring that made the eggs green. As you can see the eggs are really green! Even though she had tried to convince herself it was just food coloring she couldn't bring herself to touch the eggs. She did eat the GoGurt, banana and OJ. When I first got there Eliza didn't want to wear the hat she was given because of the color. ( I think it was because she thought it was a boy color) So she had me wear it.
Eliza and her friend Alex with their Dr. Seuss hats! Eliza decided after a little bit that it might be fun to put the hat on for a minute of two!Alex and her mom, Betty
We had a good time. After the Breakfast we went back to her class and read the new book she got and "Surprise"a story Eliza wrote. Afterwards, I took Eliza out of school and we went at had some real lunch and just goofed for awhile.

Valentines Day!


Well it was Valentines Day and we had a great time!! We didn't get the best pictures though. Mary was feeling quite ill. And we had a busy day after school. Eliza had great time giving out her Valentines to her class mates and she came home with quit a bit of loot!
This is Mary in her traditional pose of pulling Eliza's hair! We can't seem to break her of this but we are getting closer. She pulls or pinches when she gets mad but only when she is tired or sick. So we knew something was off when she was pulling Eliza's hair first thing in the morning~ She slept most of the day ;) Hope you had a great Valentines Day too!!
