VSA: Day 4

**I added a couple posts below this one, just in case you missed them.**
Tonight we made pizza for dinner. I didn't remember to make the dough ahead of time, so I just made easy bisquick pizza dough that I altered with a little bit of Italian seasoning, olive oil, and parmesan cheese. They turned out better than I thought they would.

The children always want to help make dinner. I don't know why it's so hard for me to share the duty; they love it when they get to cook. I hope these pictures can remind me to include them more often. The harmony in the house is much better when I do.

Oh and can you tell which pizza is Andrew's? Yeah, I think he just piled the pepperoni and ham on his pizza and then ran off to climb the couch. BTW, Jon, we had a stern talking-to about that. ;-)

(Kate's button: It is a 5-year no cavities button she got at the dentist on Tuesday. She's so proud of it ... she's been wearing it ever since. But, all I can say is, "Wow, that's some big button!")

That button is HUGE!! I too have a hard time allowing my children to help with the cooking, and I have no idea why? I think it's because when I cook it's my "me" time. I don't know. Just a thought.
Oh and you'd better be careful posting something almost every day, you might find that you like it and keep doing it even after this adventure is over. :) That's what happened to me.

I have a hard time including my kids in the cooking, too! For me, I think it's because it's "faster and easier" if I do it. But like you said, when I have let them help me, nobody is getting into trouble and we end up having a great time. I should take a picture of the experience, too -- and hang it on my fridge so that I can see how fun it really is.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
