Tortilla Pizzas

So Papa got the idea to make pizzas on a couple of tortillas we had lying around. We'd use the mini toaster oven. Too bad Mama threw away our cookie sheets because they would have really helped. Papa thought it would be a fun activity to start teaching Sarah how to cook.

After The Onions & Pineapple, Some Chopped Mozzarella Cheese

Verdict: Tortilla Pizza sounded like a good idea, and was quite delicious, but the tortilla is flimsy and floppy and harder to eat than regular pizza dough. Also, it cools off faster than you might expect. The house still smelled delicious in the morning!

YMCA

Like the other day, Sarah was helping soothe Stephen at the YMCA again. This time, Mama got a photo of it through the observation window. Thankfully, he cried less (this was yesterday) and today, basically none at all.

Coloring

Sarah (coloring Dora pages with her friend, Maiah): Papa you can't color because coloring is for gowols! Coloring is not for boys!

We Saw This Really Big Bird At The Park

Then Had To Run Grab The Kids To Keep
Them From Falling Into The Lake

Inflatable Santa

Stephen Was Afraid Of Inflatable Santa
& Would Come No Closer Than This

Christmastime

Sarah seems naturally and magnetically drawn to anything Christmas-related. Santa Claus, Christmas trees, decorations... She still has no idea what it is about but seems to love the idea and everything related to it.

Although she does miss Halloween, too, as she just was asking to be dressed up like a rabbit again and to have Stephen put on his fireman outfit (their Halloween costumes).
