A few weeks ago, Jack's MDO class had fun celebrating Dr. Seuss day. The kids were asked to dress up in a costume (!!!) and they'd participate in several Dr. Seuss activities that day. Oh Lordy.... the whole dress up thing would have normally been right up my alley, but with all the back and forth to the hospital at the time, I hadn't even seen the note from school mentioning the event! Luckily, I've gotten to be friends with one of the other mom's at MDO, so we collaborated to come up with 'fairly' simple costumes.

Holly collected all the supplies and I made the shirts.
Great team effort, Holly!!

My adorable Thing!

Thing 1 and Thing 2

And, in case you are really bored and want some Dr. Seuss facts (for that random trivia game you might get into one of these days) here are 9 facts about the famous author.

Things You May Not Have Known About Dr. Seuss And His Books

1.Dr.Seuss's real name is Theodore Geisel.

Okay, you probably knew that… but it's an important fact to begin with!

2. He started using the pen name Seuss after getting kicked off the Dartmouth College literary humor magazine.
He threw a boozy party during the height of prohibition and got in trouble. He needed a pseudonym to keep writing for the magazine.
3. He had other pen names too!

Dr. Seuss was for the books he both wrote and illustrated. Theo LeSeig was for books that he wrote without illustrating. Rosetta Stone was for one book he penned called Because a Little Bug Went Ka-choo!
4. He actually pronounced “Seuss” like “Soice.” (Rhymes with voice.)

You're wrong as the deuce/ And you shouldn't rejoice/ If you're calling him Seuss./ He pronounces it Soice.
5. He got famous for illustrating insecticide ads.
6. His first book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, was inspired by a boat ride from Europe.

The rhythmic sound of the ship's engine was inspiration to writing an equally rhythmic text for a children's book.
7. He almost burned the book because 27 publishers rejected him!
8. He never had his own children.

He was kind of afraid of them.
9. Green Eggs And Ham has exactly 50 words.

He won a $50 bet with his publisher for accomplishing this!
