Pizza Power

The kids and I headed out this morning to go to my sweet friend Michelle's house. She sewed some aprons for my girls, while the kids played (I don't sew, if I did those aprons would have fingers instead of ties). We were there most of the day and then headed out to run some errands. I don't recommend errands "after" the day is over. We ran to Walgreens and made a mad dash for the bathroom before my little man had an accident. When he says he has to go he means NOW! Aliya on the other hand made a mad dash to anywhere that I couldn't see her. Once I caught up to her lugging Nevaeh on my hip and towing Haydon behind, she was forced to hold my hand throughout the store. You would have thought I was torturing her. She screamed and stomped and pulled with all her might to get free which made the situation even more exciting. I love days like this (no naps, a bag of fishy crackers for dinner while running errands, people staring as though I am out of my ever loving mind, and three beautiful children that looked like I have drug them through the ringer "ragamuffins" if you will). We made it to the transportation mobile where I strapped them into their torture chairs and headed out for some more fun. We finished up our "my" errands and headed home. By this time it was too late to make dinner, what's the next best thing I ask? Pizza of course! We grabbed a pizza on our way home and just in time to find two of my three "ragamuffins" sound asleep in the back seat. Haydon was crashed, no pizza for him tonight. Navy woke up and joined Aliya and Jay and I for dinner. We have an issue getting Aliya to eat, it's not that she is picky, she actually likes about anything, she just doesn't like to eat. A challenge I wish I could encounter myself. So Jay told her that if she took a bite of her pizza it would give her power. Then she could "KAZAM" the decorative plate on the table. It would make a loud BOOM noise and shake (Jay is quite creative, when she would zap the plate he would stomp on the floor which would make the plate shake.) She thought this was fantastic she could take a bite of pizza and KAZAM the plate with all her power. Once the bite was gone the power ran out. So to get her power back she had to take another bite. Needless to say she ate all her pizza and a breadstick, I don't think she has ever cleaned her plate. It was quite funny to watch her. I think Jay was having just as much fun as she was. I love watching my children enjoying the little things in life.

PIZZA POWER!
