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.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

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....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
