This week was Read Across America week at the kids' school. Today they dressed as a Dr. Suess character, and there was a school wide parade. They gave out books yesterday. They have had guest readers all week. I don't know if the teachers loved the chaos, but it was really nice for the children in our school to have a school-wide FUN event. Thank you to those who coordinated this week's activities. 
Bryant was most excited about this event because it meant he did not have to wear a uniform! He is Butch, the boy who sits behind Daisy Head Maizy and sees the daisy growing out of her head. After seeing the mass of Thing 1s or Thing 2s in the 5th grade, I'm guessing he's going to come home wishing he had made that choice, but at least he was out of uniform.
In case you don't recognize her, this is Cindy Lou Who. Ann Bennett willingly got up 15 minutes early and stayed focused all morning to have her hair done like this. For once, the time I've spent at Sweet and Sassy and that place in Myrtle Beach that I can't remember paid off. I was able to figure out how to do that thing on the top of her head. I have to say, I was quite proud of myself. I can't wait to see if it stays together all day!
Look, here is Cindy Lou Who in school. Doesn't she look excited to be practicing her math facts?
This is Ann Bennett's class (a 1st/2nd combo) dressed and waiting for the parade. They made sure everyone had something. In the back row, there is Mr. Black (from Hop on Pop), Thing 1, Fox with Sox (I think that's it), Cindy Lou Who, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and the rest of the gang. I don't have a picture of the Bryant's class. They went right to their block 1 and started working, so I did not want to interrupt.
Finally, this last picture looks the most like a Suess character to me. Her expression just made Carey laugh out loud. I hope it brings you a chuckle as well. Now go read a Dr. Suess book to a child.
