a pizza pie

So Josey really wanted to create a snack today. I don't usually get this free with the kids cooking or creating things because I don't want to clean up the inevitable mess, but I decided that I would let her just go for it. I think you just have to do that sometimes. All three of the girls had so much fun with it that it totally made the mess worth it for me. So she got out the canisters with the flour and sugar and stuff and just started making stuff. She ended up making some sort of dough. I really have no idea how she made it or what she made it with. I am assuming that it was just flour and water or something but it felt and smelled like dough! So we turned the oven on and she decided that it should be pizza. I thought that smothering it in pizza sauce and cheese would probably make whatever she made edible so we cooked it!
Lilly had tons of fun at the table as well.
Seriously she played at the table with the flour and water and spoons and bowls and cups for like 2 hours! She had so much fun.
This is how it turned out after we cooked the dough part way.
And then we decorated it.......
and it actually wasn't half bad! We ate it for dinner! How cute is that picture though?
So then Maddy decided to get in on the action. She had been outside helping me in the yard. She finally made her dough with a little bit of "expert" guidance from Josey.

And since we were out of pizza sauce and cheese we decided to make hers a desert pizza. If you can't disguise it with pizza sauce and cheese, chocolate certainly does the trick!

I think this ended up being the favorite pizza of the night.
Hopefully we won't all be sick tomorrow.

We make pizza all the time! Only you do it from scratch where I get Rhodes frozen rolls to thaw and roll out. As long as the kids love it and you feel like a good mom for not caring about a mess..that's what counts!

Wow, mother of the year award for you! Nice job.
And I am so impressed that the dough turned out so good. Great job, Josey. I love that picture of her holding the pizza. What a priceless look on her face!

What a nice mom you are! I was looking at the picture and cringing at all the flour you got to clean up- but I suppose as mom's the smiles and entertainment are worth the mess sometimes!

I agree with Alissa - I was looking at those pictures thinking, "Yikes, what a mess to clean up!" Isn't that terrible? I caved in this morning and let my kids make paper crafts. There was glue sticks, paper, stickers and markers everywhere in the kitchen. But they enjoyed themselves and were quite proud of their creations!
