Flat Out Pizza

We needed an alternative to the high fat, high carb, and high calorie deliciousness. We came up with these for dinner tonight. Jack and Henry loved their cheese pizza, and I made a roasted veggie and provolone pizza. Jack helped make them but wasn't in the mood for a picture. Gotta respect that.

 Doug had taco leftovers. I am getting closer and closer to swearing off beef all together. If it weren't for the biannual burger, I think I'd be there... 

Back to pizza. Here's how they turned out. 

We used light flatout wraps. 

I chose to roast peppers, squash, zucchini, and green onions while I fixed the boys' cheese pizza.

Put on your sauce and add cheese.

After a few minutes, the kiddo cheese pizza is done. Yummy looking!

Fixing mine up now that the veggies are done. 

Add your veggies and put back in the oven for a few minutes.

This is the deliciousness I got to eat after. You will not miss the meat, carbs, or calories, I promise. 

Scarecrow Crunch

How am I not going to come and eat this in the middle of the night??? 

Jack and I made our version of scarecrow crunch this afternoon. It is perfect for little guys to help out with and talk about measurement. It's even better if you have a dog to eagerly eat up the extra crunch that falls to the ground with some extra eager stirring! ;) We put pretzel sticks, crunch munch, golden grahams, Reese's pieces, candy corn and candy corn pumpkins. It's not healthy. It's fun!

I found the clipart in PowerPoint and then scaled it down, grouped the image, and copied a bunch out. That took maybe 5 minutes. Fast is good. 

I put it in ziplock bags because they are for a soccer match and I want them to be portable and easy to be zipped up when the parents say, "Enough on the sweets!" They would be super cute in a cellophane bag too. 

Left overs to go to work with Daddy. It CAN NOT stay here! ;)

Fall Fun!

We love Fall around here! Here is some of our fall family fun. :)

We went on our annual trip to the mountains and loved seeing all the pumpkins and hiking partly up the Amacalola waterfall. Jack loved splashing around in the creek.

Jack loves helping me get out all of our fall themed reading and small toys. We keep small puzzles, fall books, Halloween books, and Thanksgiving books in our pumpkin basket. 

We always get a  "real witches broom." Jack made up a story about a witch flying around and she must have dropped it on our front yard. ;) It's one of the cinnamon brooms you can get from the grocery store.

Had to get our mantle in fall festive shape. 

Jack helped me make these cool starch ghosts. They were so easy to make and Jack liked painting clear glitter on them and a ghostly face. 

We suspended a couple on our kitchen chandelier so they could look like they are floating. Its just cheese cloth dipped in liquid starch and draped over a toilet paper roll and foil ball. Let it sit over night.

Jack put up his paper bag scarecrow that he made in school last year. :)

Jack's clearance find from last year.

Fall foliage and some dust on the entertainment center. Maybe we can say the dust is part of the Halloween decoration. ;)

Turned an old mirror into a grown-up use only chalkboard. Don't want the kids to break it and hurt themselves.

Jack added some more fall window clings from school to our back door.

Jack's handprint wreath from last year. I LOVE it!

I always let Jack and Henry decorate their doors for holidays. Jack wanted the black cat. He wanted our hallway to look like a spooky cave so we added some spiderwebs.
