A Seuss-y Birthday for My Boys

March 11th, 2011 § Leave a Comment

Everyone says, “They grow so fast!” “Cherish every moment because it goes by too quickly.” But I also think that everybody knows that it’s truly difficult, if not impossible, to fully appreciate the importance of periods of your life until they are over. I do my best. But it still goes by too quickly.
My boys just turned 1 and 3. Already!! Since I recently re-realized how much fun reading Dr. Seuss can be, we decided on a Dr. Seuss-themed party. (Also, DS1 is currently loving The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That on PBS.) One party for two kids who aren’t twins. I hope they don’t get upset with me later in life for not giving them each their own party, but my husband tells me boys don’t care about such things (especially at this age.)

I found an awesome Seuss-y printable party package at Dimpleprints on Etsy. It turns out once you start with the Dr. Seuss theme, it’s difficult to stop.

Since we moved to Illinois 6 months ago, we had the party at Grandma’s house up in Wisconsin. We invited “the cousins,” which was the best thing ever according to DS1.

We had Seuss-themed food like Green Eggs (deviled eggs with green dye), Roast Beast (pulled pork), Beezlenut Stew (meatballs), Who Cakes and much, much more.
