Makin' Pizza and Breakin' Heads

My kids love pizza (they call it Choo Ta). For Christmas they bought Calvin a Pizza stone and peel so that they could make pizza together. Last weekend we decided to try it out and they had the best time! Alex was the official pizza dough roller outer.

Mallory patiently awaits her turn to do something to the pizza!

Mallory did a fabulous job at spreading the pizza sauce and adding the cheese.

Daddy loved flipping the dough into the air!

I made the Whole Wheat Pizza dough from a recipe I found in Martha Stewart's Everyday Foods magazine. It was very easy to make and tasted great! To get the recipe and see the finished product....click HERE.

Mallory has been saying something for a few weeks that we are perplexed about. All day long she says, 'breakin' heads'. It started right after Christmas and near as I can tell has something to do with the movie Wall-E. **SPOILER ALERT** I think it is because Wall-E flies into the roof of his little house thing and his eye breaks off.

This morning she was doing her best Mommy impression and talking on her faux cell phone and she said, 'HI! I breakin your head. Bye bye!' and hung up. So now I don't think it has anything at all to do with Wall-E and she is now practicing to be the first ever female Mafia Boss!

Because of this little development we were really reluctant to get a babysitter last week when we wanted to go out to dinner with Calvin's co-workers. We were afraid that someone would take it wrong and call social services! So far, so good. No one has shown up on our doorstep asking any questions. She is such a little stinker!
