Dr. Seuss Day ... Yet Again?

I know what you're thinking.  "She's going to post about this Dr. Seuss Day again?"
But I've got a sweet story.
Today when Delsin got home from school he told me that he had to throw his snack away because it fell on the floor of the bus.  Just about the time I was going to ask why he had it out on the bus he told me that he wanted to show them off to his friends.  AWE!!!
So naturally I had to make more.  And since I noticed that I didn't put icing and sugar on the sides to make the stripes better the first time, I had to take more pictures.

Dr. Seuss Day (Read Across America Day) T-Shirts (In Action) and Snack Hats

Again, I used this tutorial for everything Dr. Seuss today.  http://gretchenewilliams.com/the-cat-in-the-hat

Except she used sugar cookies for the base of the hat and since we just happened to make rice krispies yesterday I used those.  With a small round cookie cutter I cut them out and made sure they were flat on top.  Then I added red food coloring to the icing and also used red sugar sprinkles in between the layers.  Woo Hoo, I can surely expect some bad behavior on those behavior sheets today, with all that sugar.  Maybe they'll surprise me and I won't feel like such a bad mommy.  At least it's going to be a short day due to possible tornado weather this afternoon.

They love the shirts!

We had the space heater blowing on them for the last hour, but they are all dry and everybody's excited.

I did go ahead and send them some money to buy real hats with, in hopes that it's not too late.

So what did you do special for Read Across America Day today?

Show and tell!

Dr. Seuss Day (Read Across America Day) T-Shirts

This afternoon, or I should say yesterday afternoon, the kids got off the school bus asking me to give them $5.00 each to buy Cat In The Hat hats at school to wear on Read Across America Day.

I asked them when that day would be and neither of them knew.  I failed to remember that a note was sent home in the form of a monthly newsletter.  So I thought it was probably sometime later in the month.

Later in the evening, excited about getting to bed early, I decided to check my favorite crafty sewing mommas chat room when I noticed someone was looking for ideas for their child to wear to school for Dr. Seuss day tomorrow.  In a panic I checked the school's website and sure enough.... tomorrow is the day that the kids could wear a Cat In The Hat hat to school.  I immediately thought, "I'll just buy them a hat to wear."  Then the thought occurred to me that since I've waited till the last minute the school could be sold out.

That's when I decided to follow the advice one poster gave to the momma asking for advice and make these shirts following this tutorial by Gretchen Williams.

OK, so I was about to go to bed when I realized that I put too many white stripes on.  The top is supposed to be red.  So I modified.  Sheesh!
Not perfect, but nothing I ever do is.
They have "character".

I'll get pictures of the kids wearing them tomorrow.
