It’s official, I’m am the world’s worst cook. Not that there is anyone out there debating it. It’s so easy – pull pizza out of box, unwrap, turn on oven, put pizza in oven, cook for time designated on box and viola – a nice tasty pizza. Well the DiGiornio pizza is mocking me, I followed the directions – really I did. I consider myself fairly intelligent, I trust the time on the box will have the pizza nice and cooked. Somehow today the center of the pizza is sorta floppy, er wait, make that NOT COOKED! I mean it is but not completely. I ate a piece and made sure it wasn’t bad and God love my boys neither one complained about the taste of the pizza. CaseyJ did not like the messiness but we fixed that by cutting it and letting him eat it with a fork. Z Man had two pieces, I had one and the trash monster got the rest. My poor kids, stuck with a talentless cook for a mom….
Updates on various other items –
- On the way home yesterday I noticed Z Man talking to himself, I asked him what he said or if he needed something and he said no. I asked him what he was saying and he said he was talking to God. I inquired what he was talking to God about and he said “my sister”. “Oh really, has he given you an answer yet buddy?” (Yes, I call them both buddy) “Not yet mom, He said He’s thinking about it.” Lord help me.
- They both got rave reviews from M today (I’m giving their teacher a James Bond name – picture Mrs. Judi Dench here) about the progress they’re making in school.
- Z Man is way above his grade level in reading, at least at the end of 1st grade into 2nd grade reading, his math skills too. His hand writing is on par and coming along nicely (this is the part about his homework he dislikes the most). He has begun creative writing and we read one or two of them today and as soon as he brings them home I’ll scan them and get them up here, they are priceless I guarantee.
- CaseyJ’s social skills are sky rocketing and his confidence is really starting to grow. The gears are turning and he is doing really well in math. He will start his sight reading and letter sounds really soon. He’s looking forward to their sand and water days coming soon with the warmer weather.
- They are both really excited about our upcoming trip, we watched the mountain ski cam earlier this morning when it was snowing on the mountain.
And finally, you may want to test the pizza at our house unless it came from a store. 😛
