SEUSSABRATION CELEBRATION!

 Mary Collins (the mastermind behind the annual celebration) and Rylee Powell

Parents and kids come in pjs or sweats, armed with pillows and blankets, to read books for an hour.  At the end, there are prizes and cupcakes to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday.

We have been attending the Dr. Seuss party since Kaitlyn was little.  Terry reads Green Eggs and Ham to Aubrey every year.  When he was in Minnesota, he tried to read it to her over the phone, but we didn't get very good reception in the gym.  This year they read it together.  Terry was the main character and Aubrey was Sam I Am.  It is so fun to listen to them.

If you haven't been to my link to the e-trailblazer (CGHS newspaper) lately, I encourage you to check it out.  Frequently, there are pictures of Kaitlyn on it.  Right now, there are some JV basketball photos and a slideshow of Winter Homecoming.  If you go back far enough, it has photos of some of her artwork.  The link is listed on the right side of this blog page under "Family and Faves."
