Sunday Snippets & Giveaway Winner

Happy weekend!!
I hope you are soaking in every minute of relaxation!  Sleep in.  Take a break and treat yourself to a bubble bath. 

I must begin with some fabulous news.  I am attending Creative Estates! Creative Estates is a creative blogging conference just one month away in Chandler, Arizona.  I am nervous, excited, a little bit of everything!  If you're also attending, I can't wait to meet you.  I feel all grown up going to my first blogging conference!

For this week's Sunday Snippets, I wanted to share some bits and pieces of our Dr. Seuss play date this week.  Our Seuss celebration was definitely the highlight of our week!

 Little Man needed a bit of bribing to wear his feathery blue "Thing 2"hair.  But he did it!  He was a little grumpy... but he did it!

Like any good celebration, a lot of yummy food was involved!  Of course I managed to connect  it to learning somehow!
* We did the Dr. Seuss graphing that I shared here.
* We made cat-in-the-hat snacks using gummy lifesavers and frosting layered on Ritz crackers.
*We made "green eggs and ham" to spell out our names.  Not edible, but deliciously fun!  I got this idea here.
* Of course the birthday celebration wasn't complete until we sang and ate cupcakes.
* We made green eggs and ham treats using white chocolate, green M&M's, and pretzels.  I got this idea here.

To celebrate Dr. Seuss' ABC, we drew letters of the alphabet in shaving cream.  Little man wasn't so sure about getting messy, but his cousin loved it!
I found these adorable Dr. Seuss foam stickers at Michael's.  I created these little Dr. Seuss place mats and the boys chose their favorite Dr. Seuss books and characters to decorate them. These turned out so cute!
 Of course Horton the Elephant had to make a special appearance!  (I am determined to have a Dr. Seuss play room someday!)

Until next year...
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
