Making Pizza!

We love to make things in this family. Especially my 3 little girls. Whether it is pancakes or cookies or pizza. They love it when mom is making something with flour, I think it is because they know it is going to taste good and it wont contain vegetables.

My little girls love to help and be part. I had to over come a huge part of my personality because I like to keep things clean as I go and not make messes and well if my 3 little girls help messes will be made. This is not easy for me because "I don't want to clean up that mess"! But then I have to remember that sometimes it requires making a mess to make a memory!

I have found that as we begin on our memory making experience for some reason the neighborhood kids seem to have this little tracker in there heads and know we are doing it and they of course want to be part and the next thing I know they are all walking through the back door wanting to watch and see what we are doing. This is so cool to them and way fun!

Every instinct in me says "I CANT CONTROL THE MESS!" But then I have to remember my end goals. I have always wanted a house where my children’s friends felt safe to come over and hang out. I want to always know who my children’s friends are and I want to be friends with my children’s friends. This is always the perfect opportunity to have them in to begin working on those goals. So I over came my need to control and we made some fun memories with Kaitlyn and her friends. We let them kneed the pizza dough and roll it out. However their favorite part was the flour facial they gave to each other during the process!
