I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham...

He does not like them, Trenton he is!

The kids and I joined Kira for breakfast in the school cafeteria on Dr. Suess' birthday. Trenton wouldn't touch his green eggs, and to be honest, I didn't like them much either--the eggs were bland, the ham a little too crispy, and the hash browns incredibly greasy--but what do you expect from the school cafeteria?

Kira insisted that we follow her to class so she could show off Tessa. Her teacher was actually very nice about it and turned it into a teaching moment, talking about babies and how they grow and develop. Kira and the other students asked if we could stay, and when I said "no" they, of course, wanted to know why. I said that Tessa would distract them and they wouldn't listen to their teacher, or learn anything.

Their response: "That's OK!"

Jeff and Ashleigh said...: Sorry for commenting on so many of your posts, but I just have to say: That meal looks horrible! Those eggs look completely disgusting. I guess it's good that most kids aren't picky!; 2:41 PM
hope said...: Wow, a lot of catching up! However I will leave this to one comment for your ease. Great idea with the kid pics when going somewhere. Very good idea! I will have to remember that when we spend the summer in Florida. Poor Kristin!! That is horrible!! By the smile on her face though I am sure she will give in some day. I make green eggs and ham for my kids once in a while, but it really looks better than that! Those hash browns look like the greasy things you get from McD's. I didn't make it to my kids' Dr Suess breakfast, and now I am wondering if their's was much better.; 5:06 PM
Jami said...: The Dr Suess breakfast sounded like a good idea, however, I'm with you on how appetizing it looked... I can only imagine the bland eggs, crispy ham and greasy hash browns... Yum. HA HA.

Hey, I went private on my blog today and noticed I don't have your e-mail to add you to my invites. Could you e-mail me at jknobby@hotmail.com so I can send one out to you? Thanks! :0); 8:47 PM

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
