I thought it would be fun to make green eggs and ham for dinner tonight. Isaac was all in, he ran for the green food coloring. I pureed some spinach and added it to some eggs, scrambled them up and added grated swiss cheese. It actually didn't sound that bad to me, but when I put it on the table, Nick was the first one to complain. He took one whiff of it and told me it reminded him of the inside of a deer stomach, very appetizing! Savannah took a bite or two, she was so excited because green is her favorite color. I took one bite, but I couldn't shake off the deer comparison. We all ate our ham, Isaac even colored his green for good measure. Nick didn't waste much time before making himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We all had berry smoothies, which were delicious and not green. This is just one of those many times where it sounds like a good idea at the time, but turns out to be a disaster.

Well, now you've tried it. The kids will always be able to relate to that book and phrase and you'll be able to cross it off of your "things I want to do someday list".
"inside of a deer stomach" ... what a comparison! Hey, "A" for effort! It is still a fun memory to have =)
That's funny! It sounded good...I'm surprised it didn't turn out. Oh well, the kids will never forget it.
How Fun...You are such a great mommy!!!! Even though it didn't taste the best, your kids and Nick will never forget it!!!
Emily, you are always up for fun aren't you?
Hey, I made some cake pops. I was sure thinking about you when I made them, I know you like to do that kind of fun stuff. I have a post on them if you are interested. It would have been real fun to do with you =)
Fun thing to try...Guess I won't try it :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's great ideas don't always turn out as great as I planned.
I loved checking out your blog tonight. Bravo on some great posts! I couldn't stop commenting, so keep checking for comments.. We had green eggs for breakfast on St. pattys (no spinach, just a little food coloring) and my kids all thought that it was fun to try a bite, but wouldn't eat much more than that.
That is really funny. Thanks for the good laugh.
