Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

I Love Dr. Seuss! His stories are just so creative but so applicable to life. We all know I cry more than any normal person probably should but I was reading "Oh the Places You'll Go" last night and I was crying like a baby haha it is just so sweet!!!
I have not had a good day today... I am not even going in to that but it just hasn't been great. So of course I came home and just needed to do something crafty to get my mind off of things. My new obsession is with pancakes! I know this might not sound crafty, but trust me it is! And crafts+cooking= a good time in my book. My obsession stems from jimspancakes.com I first saw him on Rachael Ray one morning and I was amazed! So I have been practicing in hopes to someday be half as good as him! This is only my second try but I think they are pretty good... I haven't tried coloring the batter yet (he uses natural coloring with like fruit and weird things)  but I am sure someday I will try to figure that out too!  This pancake hobby might make me fat, I can't wait to have someone to share them with!

(Thing 1, The Cat's hat, and "green" eggs and ham)

I think the eggs would have been really cute if I could have made them green and Thing needs some blueberry eyes! I am proud of my little homemade (Granny's recipe) creative pancakes. Nothing better than a cute pancake and some Little House on the Prairie to make a bad day look better. 

Some of my Favorites....

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."
— Dr. Seuss (Oh, the Places You'll Go!)

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."
— Dr. Seuss

"A person's a person, no matter how small."
— Dr. Seuss (Horton Hears a Who!)

*This one always reminds me of Max! He gave this a whole new meaning. 

"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"
— Dr. Seuss
