A Seussical Kind of Day!

In honor of the late Dr. Seuss' birthday, and timed just perfectly to coincide with the release of the new Lorax movie, several places had events honoring the author.

First up, Dr. Seuss story time at Target. After a free breakfast at Chick-Fil-A, we headed on over to the children's clothing area where we found Thing 1 and The Cat in the Hat reading Seuss stories. We received a goody bag and sat down for some silly stories. Everything was going along swimmingly until Thing 1 decided to get a little too close to Katy. At that point, Katy said (rather loudly, I might add!), "Cat Hat 'care me! Go that way (pointing to anywhere but the story area)." So, story time at Target lasted just shy of one story. Instead, we checked out the sales, ran into several friends and decided to try on sunglasses.

 Next up, Dr. Seuss activities, stories and parade at the Concord Mills Mall. Things were a bit disorganized but we managed to make a crown, color a book mark with markers and boogie to the DJ that was on stage getting the kids moving. The parade wasn't going to start until two hours after the start of the even (might as well have been eternity for Katy!), so we skipped out on the parade, managed to get our goody bag and left just in time for nap time!

Katy + Markers = lots of FUN!
