Picture Pizza

The other day I asked Hannah Beth to help me make homemade pizzas for dinner. Sometimes I make dough in my bread maker for the crusts, but this time I used store bought whole wheat crusts because Thomas likes the thin and healthier crusts. Hannah Beth spread the sauce (I just used spaghetti sauce with veggies in it) and sprinkled the cheese, and then her creation began. I had bags of onions and green peppers already in the freezer that were cut to different sizes, and gave her pepperoni, ham, tomatoes and pineapple to use as she wanted. Without any prompting, she went right to work and created an elaborate picture on her pizza with all the toppings. Some tomatoes and onions became a fairy and a princess (yes, she is very girly!!), some green peppers became a fence, pepperonis became flying alligators who ate the bad bugs (small chopped green peppers) so they couldn't get the fairy and princess, and the pineapples became butterflies. She had a great time, and I loved seeing her imagination and her creativeness come to life!

Welcome to my blog!

I've really enjoyed reading some of my friends' blogs this past year. I love to get past the casual greeting and get into what really goes on in our lives! So, I've decided to try my hand at blogging. I have family spread out all over the world and friends in many places, so maybe this will help keep you updated on our lives. I spend most of my time with my children, since I stay home with them, so I will probably talk about them a lot and hopefully show lots of fun pictures. I don't promise to get real deep and theological (although I may suprise us both from time to time!) but I do hope to be real with you! I'd love to hear your comments on my posts and interact with you about things that come up. Welcome to my blog!
