Happy Birthday Dr. Suess

 Avery's class was having a big Dr. Seuss celebration.  They got to go to school in their pajamas and read lots of Dr. Seuss stories.  The night before she informed me that each student could bring treats for the class...so using what I had around the house I attempted to make some Dr. Seuss themed cupcakes.  The above picture are the trees from The Lorax (you kind of have to use your imagination on some of these)  I made all the toppers out of chocolate.

 These are the green eggs from the famous...."Do you like green eggs and ham?"

 This last one is the fish from "One fish Two Fish."  It is a fish in a fish bowl.

We put them in the cupcake holder and packed them off to school.  I don't remember celebrating Dr. Seuss as a kid in school.  I am wondering if this is a new trend...but the kids seem to love it.

On another note.  That same day we got to go to Avery's school and present them a donation during their assembly   Exxon is great about giving back to the community so through their partnership with Berry Oil and a local Exxon station...Matt was able to present them a check to go towards buying new books for their library.  It was pretty fun to watch the kids cheer when they found out they were going to get new books!  Avery had been asking Matt for months if she could present the check to the principal.  So when it was time Avery handed the check over and shook the principals hand.  I could tell the she felt so big.
