mmmmmmmarshmallows

a sweet little box of fluffy goodness 

landed on my doorstep the other day.

it was from 

levity gourmet marshmallows,

by way of my mom.

our flavors are

s'mores

vanilla

mint

peanut butter crunch

toasted coconut

so. incredibly. good.

we took a bite and then

had to close our eyes for a moment.

our favorite is s'mores: 

torched tops with bits of graham crackers and chocolate mixed in.

thanks, ma.

in all suess-ness

elementary schools across the country

celebrated the life & work of dr. seuss this week.

{his birthday is march 2nd}

ned and his friends 

ate green eggs & ham,

made giant paper hats,

and read lots of dr. seuss books.
          

they wore silly socks & inside-out shirts,

and created some suess-inspired artwork.

:: the yawner ::

{the black lines are "squiggles" to start with} 

:: the foctopus ::

{you know, sort of a fox/octopus}


did you know that dr. seuss wrote in
anapestic tetrameter:

Anapestic tetrameter consists of four rhythmic units, anapests, each composed of two weak beats followed by one strong beat; often, the first weak syllable is omitted, or an additional weak syllable is added at the end. An example of this meter can be found in

"Yertle the Turtle":

"And today the Great Yertle, that Marvelous he

Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see."

{above is from wikipedia}


you learn new things here on my blog, 
dontcha now?


get your seuss on here.

show & tell {tooth #3}

no baby tooth is safe

now that ned has figured out that

teeth = fancy coins from the tooth fairy.

he yanked out tooth #3 on sunday.

riding in the car, no less.

here he is asleep that night,

clutching the tooth fairy doll & pillow

{so darn sweet ~ i had to turn the light on & snap a picture}

and yes, she left him a very special coin,

an abraham lincoln dollar.

coins & teeth...

the stuff of show & tell legend.
