Pizza night

Most kids not only love pizza but have a great passion for pizza. And mine are no exception. When we announce that pizza is the dinner of choice our kids never fail us in their response: their eyes grow in brilliance, their voices squeal out unrestrained cheers, and their muscles tense with glee.
Monday night was pizza night and that evening we had all the ingredients to make it ourselves. Theo and Greta particularly enjoyed the hands on experience. Greta loved working with the dough and Theo cheerfully layered the toppings to create his all time favorite pizza: Hawaiian. Right before I opened up the last topping, which was the canned pineapple, Theo excitedly announced, "Mom, I can smell the pineapple coming!"
I don't think he could have thanked me in any better way.

memory lane

Ok, so since we're greatly fizzling out on blogging on the day to day things, I thought that I would post past things that we would have blogged about had we been blogging at that time...
First up:
Theo's first day of school! He loves his school,Logos, and definitely seems to be thriving!

This picture shows the only sadness we had that morning - Greta looking for the desk with her name on it! We tried to prepare her for the separation from her older brother but some things are incomprehensible for a three year old. However, no worries. She is not sad anymore as she is very excited to be going to preschool this coming fall with her cousin, Signe.


Good times.

The dapperest preschooler I've ever seen!
