Amy had made the Cat and the Hat's Stripe Hat, Thing 1 & Thing 2's Hair along with a Fish Bowl! So dang cute! We started our afternoon by watching an episode of The Cat and the Hat on Netflix while Piper wore her official Cat and the Hat striped hat. Afterwards, they went outside and played in their hats for hours. It was darling. Piper is known for asking grandma or I to color her blue so she can be like a mermaid, so I thought she would love being a "thing" too. Turns out that it was a boys hair do, so she went right back to be in charge with her tall top hat! Hudson however, walked around with blue hair like it was his baby job!
When Josh got home from work we read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss, and then told the kids that we had a surprise for them! Josh went into the garage and came out with a fish for each of them! They were both beyond thrilled! I still have a running bet with Josh that the fish die from our children and not from natural causes, but their whole day was made!
Piper then went on a walk around the neighborhood to show off her new pet fish that the Cat and the Hat gave her! She was so proud!
After Piper got back and we had rescued Hudson's bag from being dropped! We made red and 'white' pancakes so every one could build their own Cat and the Hat striped hat. I was a little worried this would be a job that my children: A. wouldn't understand or B. wouldn't eat, especially since we made them red waffles on Valentines Day that they didn't touch... but to my surprise Piper was thrilled! She must be just like her mama and have a love for all things little because she devoured her pancakes!
On top of all that we had also made a short little garland to hand up in the living room consisting of the three die cuts Silhouette had available... the hat and the crazy hair come with strips to make them hats, so I just deleted those and shrunk the shapes to make the garland. I swear a garland can make any day feel special!
We ended the night by reading some more books by Dr. Seuss and then put the kids to bed. It was a beautiful, simple, successfully celebrated day, and I truly am grateful to Dr. Seuss for the adorable stories we get to fill our children's heads with!
