Sorry about the pizza Posts

They went in the wrong order.

Alan's Birthday!

So, My SIL Melissa needed helping tricking her Hubby, my brother Alan for his birthday. He really wanted the new G1 phone. She wanted to surprise him big time. She orders it, but it was back ordered for 14 days. It wouldn't arrive in time for his November 6th birthday. So, she asks me if I could put some rocks in the G1 phone box Nathan just received a week previous, and put a cute note in it for him. I was so excited to help! I was having a rather bad day, as I went to a super chain store for pretty wrapping paper and such.Got to the check out, realized my wallet was not in my purse. Crap. It was a 15 minute drive home to get it ( It was on the counter...courtesy of my 4 year old digging for gum in my purse...) I go back, return, grab the phone box, stick a can of tomato sauce in it and wrap it all professional like. I was so proud of myself. I normally am a horrid wrapper, but I took extra care! I even put a ribbon on it. score for Christi. yeah.

So, They come over, drop off their munchkins..I hand over the box to Melissa, winking....She was planning on giving it to him at dinner. I'm all " Sweet, I made it...." Then my husband walks into the kitchen with the G1 phone box and asks ' Um, what did you wrap and give Melissa?" um, I don't know!!! Some box with a stupid phone on it!!!!

Panic. Text Melissa. " Don't give him the gift, I wrapped the wrong one."
So, Alan knows I wrapped something wrong. Peeks his interest, I'm sure! I get busy with kid stuff, then realize they will be back soon. Run back to the bedroom, grab the dumb phone box, and wrap it up. When they arrive at our place, I hurry and unwrap that one to take the message out, then unwrap the one I just wrapped to add the message...Do you see where I am going with this. I was FRAZZLED!! It finally got wrapped. But see, that is not the end.

This one is a little heavier...Hmmmm.

Okay folks. It was the wrong box yet again. I blame my hubby for keeping every box from every phone we had ever received, and they just happened to be in our bedroom at the same time? Likely story. I believe it was sabotage. He insisted that it said G1 on the box in big letters. Sha, right. A phone box is a phone box to me.( And I AM getting old, and it's harder to see stuff...) That is my story and I'm sticking to it. Anyways. Sorry Alan and Melissa for making your evening crazy and what not. I owe ya...BIG time! Love ya guys!

So, he open it with his eyes closed. the kids are excited, and so is Melissa.

Look at Missy's face , looking up at her Daddy.

Hmm..a phone I already have. WOW. Um, Thanks?

Maybe there is something else in here. Those kidders!

So here he is reading the little not inside, confused at why Melissa is giving him a phone he already has....

" Thanks Melissa...I * think * I love my birthday present...."

See, Melissa is confused as well, and here they both figure out that yes, Christi is a dork and needs professional help!

The box I was SUPPOSED to wrap. *sigh*

Pizza 5

Hurray, we're done!

Zach, finally getting sauce on his after Aunt Christi helps him rolls out his dough. Both Zach and Delaney couldn't figure out how their dough got all holey. Hmm, Could have been the sifter, but, what do I know?

Ah, yes. Yummmy!!! The End!

PIzza #4

The sweet girls, just pizzaing away....

Could any more pepperoni fit on this?

Pizza #3

So, this is where it gets totally insane. Remember the mention of 5 year olds? Yeah. Here they are. In all their glory. Instead of the rolling pin ( yeah, probably with them a bad idea..) or the can of beans I gave them to roll out their dough, they utilize basic utensils. Pitcher, pitcher lid, and sifter.

Hahahaha, looks like Zach is hitting Delaney in the head.

At least someone figures out what is next!!

Pizza 2

Zachary....doing a fine job!

Sauce time!

Pizza Night #1

On my little Brothers birthday..November 6th ( He turned 28!) I offered to watch his kiddos so he and wife Melissa could go out to eat.I was fresh out of ideas for dinner, so I thought " Why not homemade pizza..it will keep them busy, right?" So, I plop two 4 year olds, and two 5 year olds up to the snack bar.

Alissa, Sophie, Zach and Delaney

Alissa making her dough into something resembling a pizza....

Awwww..cutie! Getting there!

Sophie working the dough too....Nice hair there sweetie....

For Tyler

The curse of the evil scissors

So, this is the aftermath of scissors and a 4 year old. What gets me is Aubrie and Caleb knew she had them. We had a huge family council last night about being a family, and taking initiative when one sees another in danger. Can I just tell you that my sweet 13 year old girl is not really sweet these days? It's like she went to bed one night all cute and cooperative, then woke up cranky and ornery.
So, the trolls did not escape the wrath of Sophie..... and neither did Dora doll, brown bear and raggity blond chick. It was like she went from toy to toy and thought '"which one of you is next?"

Her hair mixed in with the rest......

Oh how mommy was emotional.........

Before

Oh dear Sophie Bean...why must you hurt your Mother so?:)
