Breakfast Time on a Saturday in March

Can you imagine eating a doughnut that was as big as your face?!?!

You would hold two in your hands too, wouldn't you?

Dinner with Dr.Seuss

So, as a next step in getting over my anxieties I decided I would try something really different. I bought my first tickets to an activity organized by some of the students at the school. There was a costume contest, so I thought of turning Serenity into a WHO or Green Eggs and Ham, but I didn't have the right material. But thanks to an amazing friend, she gave me a blue blanket and I got the idea for 1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish.

It's kinda hard to see, but I made a hoodie like shirt out of the blanket and used velcro to close it and using pipe-cleaners, I made fins that kept their shape and added details to parts of the fins. I had a one and she had a 2 I was red and she was blue. I cut up an old red t-shirt into scale shapes and sewed them loosely on a red hoodie (already made) and added fins to my elbows and a dorsal fin to my back.

Unfortunately, I looked like one of the "Things" (red with a 1 on it can you blame them?), and there were soooooo many other "Thing 1 and Thing 2's" that I just blended in unless I kept Serenity with me at all times. We had a dinner of green eggs and ham, corn dogs (all the foods had Dr.Seuss-type names and I don't remember them all), Diced potatoes, peaches, rolls, Sneeches Salad. After we ate it was story time and Serena didn't want to sit still, so she found a ball and played her own rules. She made friends with all the big kids. Before we knew it, it was time to go and the costume award went to a thing 1 and thing 2 with blue hair.

The night was a disaster for me I couldn't get over the anxious feeling. But Serenity got a lot out of it... a corn dog (fav food), a balloon, a new favorite warmie coat that is soft like a blankey, and because I needed some shop therapy afterwards, I bought her a bunch of Blues Clues Books. It was fun, but I don't think I'm ready to do it again.

Pi(e) Day

We enjoyed Chicken Pot Pie for dinner with friends the we made Apple Caramel Crumb Top Pie, and our friends made Oreo Pudding Pie, and this AMAZING Cookie Pie... It was like eating cookie dough! We had plenty of pie left overs and it was just a small way to add a little fun to our dinner.
