Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!

I'm just going to say it. I have had the winter blues lately. I am ready for spring! I love spring time!!! I love the promise of warmer weather, new life, the symbolism and everything about spring. I am so ready for it. I am tired of snow, dark dreary days, full of cold weather and nothing to do (oh and being sick too). My kids have been climbing the walls and are ready to get out and play outside, start to do things that we haven't been able to do for a while. I am espically excited this year, because of the new baby. Since Rylan and Alana were both born in the fall, it will be a new experience for me to have a brand new baby in the spring. I am excited for it to be warmer by the time I feel ready to get out and do things. It will be nice to be able to go walking with the baby and not have to worry about the weather so much. I almost can't stand the anticipation, I am wondering what having 3 kids will be like. I have heard over and over that the 3rd either makes you or breaks you. Maybe both for me. We will see. Today would have been the perfect day if it wasn't so windy. It seemed warm and the sun was shining, however we stayed inside mostly since the wind was so strong. Like I said, looking forward to warmer weather....GOODBYE WINTER--HELLO SPRING!!!!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

On March 2nd, 1904 that Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. Today we pay tribute to Dr. Seuss' 105th birthday.
While most commonly known for his children's books (he wrote over 60 of them), “Dr.” Seuss was both the editor-in-chief of the college newspaper and also drew more than 400 political cartoons in two years for a New York daily newspaper. It was as a college student at Dartmouth that he started signing his work “Seuss.” Once he graduated, he started signing his work as “Dr. Seuss” when submitting it to a humor magazine. After marrying, he continued to write humor and illustrate. When World War II started, he began his political cartooning. Eventually he designed and illustrated posters to support the war effort, and joined the U.S. Army where he was the leader of the animation department.
Still, it was his children's books that have helped beginning readers and have been enjoyed by families for several generations.

What's your favorite Dr. Seuss book???? That's a tough decision for me, since I like so many. The ones I remember reading most as a youth are: Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hatches and Egg, Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax and the Sneetches.
My kids love the books and would prob say: Grinch, The Horton books, and On Beyond Z.
If you are looking for some fun things for your kids to do there are plenty of craft ideas and coloring pages online. Here is what the kdis made....
