Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

I was going to come up with some cute Dr Suess like poem about my life, but don’t have time.

Oh look at this house.
Who lives here, a louse?

We should clean up,
Said Sally, the mouse.

Clean up, I say!
Clean, Clean, all day!
Don’t let those kids get in your way!

We can clean up the dishes, the sink, and the wall.
We can pick up the shoes that are strewn down the hall!

If only we had a maid, says the mouse.
Then someone else could clean up this house.

Ok, I’ll stop.

Natalie is a finalist in our school storytelling festival, so I’m off to the assembly at school. She’ll also tell tonight at the parents’ assembly, but I’ve got to perform with the Tab Choir in their concert tonight, so I guess Ryan will be going with all the kids (he’s awesome!).

More later!

Ok, here’s the later update. Natalie did very well telling her story. She doesn’t have it quite memorized enough (we didn’t know she was going to tell for the whole school until they called last night), so she stumbled a bit and left out a bit, but I’m so proud of her. She did great! She told Pigs a plenty, Pigs galore, one of our favorite stories.

(Here’s an ironic aside here, John is sitting on the floor ripping apart a pop-up book. That’s our love for literature shining through in our children.)
